...how often do you see your horse?
I'd really like to make the switch, to free up a few evenings a week for me/friends/dog/housework and so on, but I'm really struggling with the idea of not doing it all myself, every day. I don't live close to the yard and I'm finding it too much day in day out - often by the time I'm done with work and sorted the dog, done some chores, driven there, grabbed something to eat quickly etc. I'm too tired to ride. If I went full it would mean on the days I DID go, I would be more inclined to actually get on, or I could just rock up and ride without having to do everything else.
If you went from DIY to full, did you get used to handing over some responsibility eventually, or am I doomed to be a knackered horse slave forever?
I don't want to get a sharer as he's still young and I'm very particular about what he does and how!
