Morning all, hope you’re all well.
I’m sure this post is fuelled by a menopausal me.... but here goes.
I own my own land 2 miles from where I live. Great place but not brill/safe hacking straight off the place. No round routes without going on a busy road. Plus I have no riding buddies close by and a young horse that needs good experiences...as do I! So basically I’m on my own.
I’d like to change things as I feel I have no motivation or real goal in mind. Like I say....hormones!!
So I could move to livery, DIY and have use of a school, same distance away as my place and I was here for 5 years before we bought our land. Not sure if they have vacancies as yet, plus the place isn’t looking as good as when I was last there. I think horses tend to be grazed on their own too and I hate that. And I’m not sure I could do livery again. It would mean either renting my place out or selling up. Hubby isn’t keen on selling yet.
Buy a 4x4 (I have a trailer) again and visit places for use of school and lessons possibly. Hubby sold our last 4x4 as I wasn’t using it enough. Meanie! Lol
Have an instructor visit my place, but I don’t have a decent surface apart from fields to have a lesson.
I just can’t seem to see the point to it all. Yes I love Scrappy but my head is all over the place. I don’t just want to walk her down the road all her life. I just feel my set up isn’t right for a young horse to be educated. An arena would feel safer to me and give me options but without travelling it’s a no go.
Am I missing something? Please feel free to tell me. Just feeling a bit lost and I can’t see the point. Do I need an older horse that I can just get on and go? Possibly. Thanks ?
