After keeping horses for many years growing up with them and then with my daughter from mini pony club through to BE , sold everything horses, lorry, rugs ,tack about 4 years ago when said child left for uni. Husband breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Fast forward to now. I have developed an unhealthy ( for bank account) obsession with polo and am considering horse ownership again. The problem is I know it will not stop at one pony as two is the bare minimum I would need even though I only play at a very low level and have no desire to move beyond this. Although I ride regularly I miss the caring for the horse and building a relationship with an animal. I would also like to be able to do more than just play as that is all I do atm.
Please tell me I am bonkers to be considering horse ownership again, I have realised how stressful having them can be after a few years horse free, I hadn’t realised how much of an underlying low level anxiety I had when owning them.
