Someone slap me please...

Now that I've finished physio I am desperate to get back on board again. I'm riding a friends horse once/twice a week hacking but I am feeling very fidgety!

This is a situation that I never expected to be in as I was told rehab would take 12-18 months. I've been discharged and pretty much "fixed". It is going to be another year until my boy can be backed so I am feeling a bit disheartened.. I am very jealous of everyone at the yard riding before work (yes really!)

I love my little pony but I can't help but think that I could sell him and buy a horse that I can ride...

I am feeling very disloyal that I am even having these thoughts. But it is so tempting..

Would I ever live it down? Do I really want to?
Someone slap me please...

I hung on and waited for my youngster, without another horse to ride and it didn't work out! I loved my foaly and had her from 7 months old. I had done all the ground work and backed her myself but I couldn't cope with her youngsterish ways (bronked me off a few times) and ended up selling her on to a lovely home. I'm probably older than you so don't take any notice of me!

Can you not ride your friends horse and do some groundwork with your youngster?

Hope you come to a decision soon, it's awful when dark thoughts enter your head and you think, what if.......?

if you see my previous post,is it possible to loan or share. My daughter can school, jump,hack and compete in any area she wants. May be an option.

I wish I could, they have her out on Part Loan to a young girl, and I just take her out/school her to get some energy out of her. My youngster has done everything bar backing, it is mostly a waiting game now! I was due to show him a lot this year but unfortunately I Just don't have the money. Hiring a trailer is so expensive!

I am not really in a position to share/loan as many people require a contribution and I don't have the space to take on another without one going.

I hate having these thoughts!
