I own a very safe, easy going horse who is a lovely forward going ride and as bomb proof as any horse ever is. Hes a joy to own and I know Im lucky to have him. My friend at the yard owns one which is just about the opposite - to be frank, its nappy and bad mannered and (in my opinion) just plain dangerous in the way it behaves on occasion. As such, she rarely rides it (and I cant say I blame her).
I have occasionally let her have a ride on my lad and she always says how nice it is to ride a horse without feeling like youre lucky to be alive when you get off!!!
Im going on holiday in a couple of weeks. My horse is on full livery and will be well cared for while Im away, but friend has asked when Im going and coming back, and informed me today that Im not to worry about my lad while Im away as shell keep him well exercised while Im gone and how much shes looking forward to riding more. It seems shes just assumed that, as shes ridden him before - she hacked him out a couple of times when I had the flu, for example - hes now her official second ride. Her own horse is fit and sound. The fact that she scared stiff of it and wont get on it is by the by apparently. Im a bit lost for words. I really need to man up and tell her shes being a cheeky mare dont I?
