I'm seriously considering giving up! I never thought I would after being involved with horses all my life, I had a couple of years break when we first bought the house but I've had my ridden horse over 10 years. 3 years ago I decided to up my game and buy a dressage foal, who is fabulous, the best character I could wish for.... I feel like I have lost my mojo the last 6-8 months. To top that, we have had a family feud which impacts on the grazing I have on the family farm and various other yard politics. I could move to livery but it will cost a lot more and there aren't many locally that could take 2.
I'm at the point where I'm not sure if the stress level balances the enjoyment!
I'm contemplating either selling up altogether, selling the older ridden one who has less potential and keeping the youngster to see if my mojo comes back, or selling the youngster.
Emotionally this is heart-breaking but if I think 'how would I feel if I just didn't have horses' at this point with all the connected stress, I don't think I'd be miserable.
Not sure of the point of my post really, it's just hard to speak to my friends, who will all think I have lost the plot... or my husband who thinks people with horses have lost the plot!!!
