I anticipate my decision to buy another horse driving my partner nuts and helping me lose at least half a stone. I started out enthusiastically enough but then realise that as I dont like travelling great distances and want to sit on the prospect more than once it reduces my search area.
Then I think about taking a horse I dont know over a few fences and wether I will get an audience watching my flatwork and sniggering at my leg position, wether the trial facilities are good enough and then trying to find a friend I trust to give a proper opinion rather say they like it because they think I do etc.
Sometimes I think it might be far easier to be a couch potato and just sit with the cat and a bag of Kettle Chips and spray a horsepoo aerosol around my head at least that way there would be no danger of buying the wrong special horse and having to sell it.
