Two subjects in the title.. i'll try and keep this short, so please bare with me..
I'm moving in a few weeks to a yard i've been on before so know what to expect etc.
My horse has just spent a year on a full livery yard, my intentions being to remain on there. It's all gone pear shape, Oh wants me to move him back, as I'm not spending enough time with him, and it's costing too much. I've had to explain to my sharer the reason for my move back, and she understands (she and her mum have their own horse now at livery yard).
Over the last 12 months, i feel as though he's no longer mine, as with not spending enough time with him, where as my sharer has, i feel as though i'm no longer in control of things regarding him. When I speak to some of the liveries, they think he's hers, and that i'm the sharer..
I should have been more assertive but I wasn't and now i'm paying the price..
The move will give me back my horse in retrospect, and mean i'll be doing him myself, DIY, 7 days a week as I used to.
My sharer can still come up and see him, but i'll have the control I should have had when I moved him.
Lack of confidence riding with others:
I'm so deeply ingrained when it comes to riding solo, I find it hard to hack out with others. I'm a very private person, and keep myself to myself, and this is where the problem lies. How can I overcome my shyness when riding out in company?
