Hello
Right, in October, with any luck, I will be going to university a long way from home. For the first winter I want no horse to tie me down , and really just want to be able to settle in a little.
My coloured horse will not winter out, and needs hard work through the winter. He is very talented, but a difficult ride, and is my rather wonderful cross country horse.
My mum has offered to keep him ticking over during winter, however she does not compete or hunt anymore due to too many responsibilities and fear of injuring herself.
Oshka is not a happy hacker and I feel it would be a waste of an incredibly decent jumper all winter, but then again is very difficult to ride and really needs someone who knows what he is like- after three years I have learnt when to leave him alone and when to take a pull on the approaches to things.
One of my best friends- Becca, has just yesterday told me she will be moving away, due to her OH's job as a gamekeeper. The house they are moving to is larger, but with less stabling, and so she is having to downsize horses. The horse we share, Wills, is going to her sisters, and a couple she is leaving with her mum. Her hunter is now retired, and her 2nd hunter is going home, as it was only loaned to her as owner was pregnant.
Therefore, Becca needs a hunter, and I need someone to hunt my hunter. If I was going to trust anyone with my superstar horse it would be Becca- she dotes on her horses and spends every second she can fussing over them. Should I, Shouldn't I?
