OK, my lovely wife is 40 in August, fit and competent rider as am (was!) I.
New horse this year, her last died tragically between having children.
After 10 years of running the house and animals when I am away working, let alone also a veterinary nurse doing overnight duties at weekends, she is knackered and in need of a well earned break.
She would be draw-dropped dumbstruck if I packed her off one morning in August for a surprise week away to accommodation and a livery yard by the sea, gallops on the beach.
Horse can be a horse again, she can feel like a woman again. [I know it sounds a bit...reach for the bucket...perhaps, but please bear with me its well meaning].
The plan is we all join her, at the end of that first week for a family holiday week and the horse stays in livery while we have a family holiday.
Wife and horse travel back in the 4WD and trailer.
I travel back with kids in the little run around, we just need a helpful livery yard and some lucky last minute accommodation.
Any ideas? Or am I being totally unrealistic in my aspirations?
I just want to give her the unbelievable, as a thank you, and for the children to get that too.
Maybe I am being naive. I dont know, nothing ventured nothing gained. Is it possible to book this sort of holiday? We are in the Midlands - so can go to most places but obviously big sandy beaches and nice accommadation and friendly yard will have a very generous customer.....
