As some of you will know, good god, I have had a year and a half of it. Some of you don't know that I considered selling ben recently, only for a demi second, and not at all because he was being a bit of a monster on the ground, I knew full well that was fixable and just him being a baby, and I recognised that he was a good horse, had been a good horse, and that was a handleable blip. Truth was, it was starting to feel a bit like a chore, winter closing in, I was tired, and didn't know whether he would be better with someone else, my back was playing up, aching if I try to school, and the loss of Ebs was weighing hard, they are so different, and whilst in the long run I think thats the best thing, I sometimes find it hard. So I considered selling, for a second, and then the stark reality of losing control of his life hit me, I couldn't trust someone else with tough decisions if he was ill, what if I found out he was ill and I had no control over it 
Its really hard to consider getting someone to help you with the education of a 3 1/2 year old, my aim is to just keep him ticking over over the winter, and working until 5pm mon to fri would mean I could only ride him in the school and that would make him sour. So I have found a happy medium, ben is going to hack out with YO and her youngsters, she has a competent friend who helps her and has agreed to hack ben out twice a week during week days, leaving me to pick up the weekend riding, Perfect! I have also got a lovely five star holiday booked for november and am starting a fantastic new job on the 19th nov at the local uni, it sounds really exciting and I can't wait. Things are very positive, and I just wanted to share with everyone who has been so supportive
