I miss horse poo!

[bex1984]

My pony is out on loan as I've recently had a baby. I'm really lucky that he's happy and well looked after, and I get to ride him every few weeks

BUT I really miss looking after a horse! I miss 6am at the yard in the freezing cold and the dark, and mucking out. And filling up haynets and wrapping pony up in a snuggly rug. And grooming and clipping and picking out feet.

I thought I'd be glad not to have a horse to look after over winter....but it turns out I am some sort of weirdo who likes being cold, tired and smelling of horse poo.

This is a totally pointless post but my OH is bored of the subject so has banned me from talking about it!!

Must admit I like mucking out too, but when it's dark cold and wet I do lose my enthusiasm a bit

I know exactly what you mean, I was looking forward to my horse coming in again for the winter so I would have to go to the yard early in the morning etc. But now after about a month a morning off at the weekend would be nice. At least you still get to ride your horse and he is being well-looked after. And I'm sure you're still tired enough with a new baby to look after!

Haha, me and my mum always say, you can tell a true horse person by the amount they talk about horse poo!

Apparently in some circles it's not an acceptable topic of conversation! Who knew?!

This is the thing I miss most having mine turned out 24/7. Am always happy to muck ou for friends

Loaner local? Maybe ask if you can come down and do chores for the day! Sure they'll appreciate it!

He is on loan to a RS, I can go over and pay him a visit whenever I want, and could muck out for friends...but it's a 40 minute drive away....and I don't have a car anymore.
