*phew* okay lol...I cannot believe it. Really thought she was going to be perfect etc...but combined with her recent lameness and the worry it might return (she has been lame 3 times in the same leg in 4 months) and the fact she just isn't happy, I feel it only fair on her to give her back.
The worst thing though is that she is a complete sweetie - she has put up with me fantasically, but I'm sure she could do so much better with somebody else, and where she can be turned out all day. It's not really fair on her, plus she can't be turned out all day until march, and she is an outdoor pony and hates being rugged up and kept in a stable. I've just realised today that she is completely different to when I rode her at the owners place - obviously she is in a new place, but she knows the routine now (i.e banging at mealtimes etc..) and she has been hacked dozens of times but just seems slightly more nervy etc... Even Dan her groom who is a speed demon (think piercings and highlights..you get the idea
) asked me today if she always went loony when hacking in company! I hacked her out with another horse at the owners place and she was a star - I just don't think that big noisy livery yard is for her.
Completely sucks, I feel so awful that I've mucked her up - sorry to moan, this will seem so selfish when people have complained less about their horses being PTS. I just can't believe it, as I always said to myself, " ohhh she'll be fine, she'll settle" etc...but it just isn't working. I will miss her like hell though, she is very comical and has made me laugh so many times but the disadvantages have outweighed the advantages. Really sorry to moan, just feel so bummed as I was just really getting to know her and I convinced myself that we would be charging round xc having an amazing time but it is impossible with her.
Thanks for listening, just need to get it out.
