Please no one make this a harder decision than it has already been, its killing me to write this and it has been a very emotional day but I cannot any longer stand the constant phone calls and nagging from his owner

This summertime has been fine, and they as we have found ourselves in December and Monty hasn't been ridden as much.
Now I've had my shares of loans before, and we have loaned a few ponies out and have never had any trouble.
The woman is a friend from out hunting and I had hunted Monty from a four year old, when he first came it was because she was full and I had room, I've always got along with the horse and though he was big fr my sister they grew into eachother.
Lately I have had phonecalls and texts non stop, instead of a hello on the hunting field I am greeted with a "Hows Monty" "Is your sister riding him anough" etc etc and to be honest its driving me round the twist. I can't be dictated to on my own yard and his owner has made it clear she wants him in hard work and hunting. Mum works, I am at sixth form and have my own horse to keep running, and my sister is also at school, therefore I have decided, to avoid a constant breathing down my neck I am giving him back. Horses are meant to be fun, I can't push my sister to do what his owner wants when its not what she wants. She is understandably mortified, poor bunny.

To be honest having read your other posts about this I think you've totally made the right deicision. It's hard but you'll all be better off for it. Hugs I know it's not a decision you've made lightly.

I think you have totally made the right decision. Hugs for you hon.

If his owner was noticing....wel, maybe it has given you the excuse you needed to sort the situation with your sis out, indirectly, if you know what I mean.
 
Sounds like the right thing to do hun, sure the owner's attitude will take all the fun out of riding for your sister and give you a constant headache if you keep him.

Hope he finds a loan(asume he is going back out on loan?) home who has the time to do what the owner wants and that he is ahppy.
 
I also think you've done the right thing.

If your sis pulls her socks up (ie helps you and your mum around the yard and proves she's willing) you can always get her something which won't need quite so much riding.
 
Aww, sorry about that hun. Mum said J had been going on about it a bit.

She can be really funny about anything to do with her dad so I wouldn't take it personally.

Is he just going back to J's?

I know, she has been caught in the middle abit, but I just couldn't help feeling this morning she was personally tearing shreads off of me, I flt bad for mot riding what should be my sister's ride, so I think he shall go soon

I just a little angry because she was ranting on about fitness, when I was hunting him he wasn't that fit, and last year cubbing Jasper for her he was anything but fit

This day has just ground me down.
 
she just gets things in her head sometimes, even if their is no reason for it!
