I have a lovely little mare that I have had since a foal, she has competed at all unaffiliated disiplines and basically is a rosette magnet (usually red ones!!).
Anyway my issue is that I wanted to compete at a higher level, county shows etc so bought a new horse and found a sharer for my little mare, my sharer is brilliant but only really hacks at weekend and the odd funride.
Now bearing in mind my mare used to compete every weekend I really think she is missing going to events and her physical shape is changing
So.............do I look to put her on full loan( would never sell)to a pony club home so that she can go out competing again or do I accept I have a good sharer and actually hacking out on a weekend is ok?
also.....do people think horses get depressed............I took my mare to a little event last week( because I felt sorry for her in the field) and she was so excited!!!!!
thoughts please.................
