So lovely 'vague London connection' people…
As a bit of a get to know you, tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you based? Where is your horse based? How have you found the transition to a London horsey life or have you always been a City dweller?
To get us started…
I had a horsey childhood but sold my pony when I went to university as he was hopelessly outgrown and my parents aren't horsey. I returned to horse ownership over a decade later when I bought my TB almost a year ago. Up until then I never thought I could combine a career in the city with keeping a horse, but I'm so glad I took the risk as it's hard work, but totally worth it
I live in North East London on the Central Line and work in the City. My boy is now stabled in Epping. It took four yards to find the right one for us, but am very happy where we are now. I really struggled to find somewhere that I could get to via public transport and that had proper turnout. He's mental if he doesn't get at least a few hours every day. Such a relief to have that sorted and I adore my current yard.
Not yet braved any competitions on him, but hoping to get out and do a bit of dressage this year
Your turn….
