I really need to cut down

[traceyann]

Iv got four horse all i seem to do is ride no time for anything else im getting old and tired of riding Iv got eventer needs two hours hacking my tb showjumps again one hour sometimes two my spanish get one hour hacking and my cob get twenty mins walking and mucking out and keeping house im knackered. My friends have their own horses to ride cant loan as eventer and cob can bully people if they get away with it my spanish is not safe and my tb is so sharp not sure anyone whats to ride him. selling is no chance. What do other do with loads of horses in work.

Cant you find an experienced rider to help you out with the exercising?

I ride and lead quite a bit. But in your position could someone ride your eventer maybe if the cob and TB aren't suitable? Could the cob or TB be okay with an experienced rider/handler?

my friend had this problem and installed a horse walker, I know it may be too expensive but if you can afford it then it can really help with the fittening side of things

Hi im so sorry your not enjoying your riding anymore-but it is ment to be fun and tbh you certainly know your horses characters ,but please dont exclude selling or loaning as there are lots of competent people who wouldnt find your horses characters anymore challenging than you do. i took on a tb that would definately not be everyones cup of tea but his behaviour doesnt bother me-he great at what i want to do so the "quirks" are secondary. there are always professional people wanting good horses!
