I am feeling a bit downin the dumps ATM.

I am a new horse owner bought my boy in Feb. and have had a fair few probs up till now with him , he arrived with a twisted pelvis which is ok now, he had hooks on his teeth so he couldn't eat properly got that sorted, he came with a saddle that didn't fit him, got that sorted, then he rubbed all his face raw abut 5 weeks ago, that is sorted , then 3 weeks ago he had a choke and I thought i was going to lose him but he survived then had a bad cough and was very poorly needed anti biotics and now is well.
I am just feeling a bit dispondent with things at present I know this is very self indulgent and there are alot worse off :

: than me and my boy. But it has just been a hard learning curve and I feel I am getting nowhere with what i had in mind when I bought him. i.e going places ( i don't have any transport, and getting lessons with instructor, every time I think about lessons something happens!!). I kow that this is sort of thing happens all the time with nags but I am just feeling a bit low. So need some positive vibes to keep going!!!

sounds like you've had a lot thrown at you in your first few months of horse ownership. Hopefully all you've been through will have helped you and your horse form a really strong bond, which will be great when you start to do a bit more with him.
I think this weather is making everyone miserable, not to mention how dark its starting to get in the mornings and evenings - feels like autumn is here already.

I completely know how you feel! I got my boy in March, and have sinced been nastily bitten and kicked by him.

not the greatest start to horse-ownership. We have started Parelli and things are starting to look up!

Just keep smiling! Chocolate helps too

Thank you for your support! I am sure this awful weather is making every one feel rubbish!And hopefully these things have helped us to create a stronger bond between us.

And I really hope that "Love Charles" gets good results from Parelli!Good luck! I will be thinking of you!
