After idly browsing horses for loan/share this morning, I pinged off an email about a lovely 19-y-o 17.2hh Shire/Trakehner. Went to see her this evening and, subject to sorting out contracts, etc., I've got Gemma two days a week!
She did advanced medium dressage in her younger years but, after a ligament injury, she's taking life easier. The idea is lots and lots of hacking, with lessons and the occasional bit of showing. And for me to learn an awful lot from her.
She has the biggest trot I've ever ridden and I felt as though I was constantly about to be bounced out of the saddle but, despite feeling as though I should be booted out of the yard and not allowed near such a lovely horse, both her owner and her previous sharer thought I rode her well. (I must be better at pretending than I thought...)
I'm so excited!
(Picture is of her with her previous sharer, so no crit, please.)
