Iv'e bought a horse!!!!!!!!

[Oscar162]

Went to have a second look at a little mare I liked, been a few weeks since I first saw her. Thought it was all an informality, just go over her with a finer tooth comb, put down a deposit and get her details to sort out vetting and insurance....but it was a disaster.
Cracking horse, but she just wasn't for me.
So we went to have a cup of tea before we headed back home and another horse they have was mentioned, I had heard about her as a friend had tried her out a few weeks ago. So they went and got her in and in came a plain looking wee horse, watched a kid ride and thought she was ok, then watched my instructor and wow!!!! For the first time since loosing my lad I desperately wanted to ride. I got on and click....she was fantastic. so soft, pushing through from behind, floating under you but a real power with it. Asker for canter and nearly shot out the back door with the sheer energy that she came through with. When I rode well she went well, but if I gave a sloppy aid or moved my hand she let me know. I grinned like a fool the entire time I was on her.......So I bought her......so excited!!!!!!

Really pleased for you It's just magic when you "click"

Good Luck

Yeeeey, really pleased for you! When does she come home?

 

[Oscar162]

Thank you....exhausted now though, have been on such a high since I rode her, but had a long drive home, think I need to go to bed x

Should come home in the next week all going well. I need to sort out a few bits and bobs for her as she is around 15.1 and my lad was 16.2 so have nothing that will fit. So have to sort out bridle, boots, and a fly and no fill rug for her. Even my travel gear will drown her but lucky for me I am a dab hand with a bandage, but I think the ponies cooler will fit her as he is 14.2 and it is a wee bit big on him.
