hi all haven't logged on for a while but need some advice please.
three months (ish) ago i had a major argument with my parents after suffering 14years of abuse and finally got the guts to say i wasnt going back there, this in turn meant i lost the use of 'the family' horse whom i would ride 5/6times a week and had put alot of work into to get him hacking alone jumping etc. i had already been offered share of a friends horse and have was riding him aswell as well as the heavy. then i agreed with his owner i would have him at least two days a week and do the required stable jobs on those days, no problem what so ever and my friend has paid for me to have lessons on her horse over the past few weeks and we are all very happy with the arangement.
the lady who took me in when it all kicked off with my parents is lovely, i have known her for years and used to take her daughter out on pony rides when she (now 6) was 2. back in april or may i mananged to get her a free share of a pony who she has learnt more riding skills with. we have helped to look after the pony when his owner was away etc and again we are all very happy with the arangement. both of theese horses are at the same yard.
however the yard the two shares are at is the same yard that my parents stable the heavy and they are being (mildly compared to how i know they are) rude and generally obnoxious to my friend, i can cope when its me but not the lady who has taken me in, given me everything i need, got me the help i need mentally and emotionally, helped get a new job this list is endless! My friend cares so much she will not allow me to go to the yard alone because she is worried they will attack me again. but she is disabled and we have agreed for the time being she will come up with me and her little girl twice a week and we will 'pony ride' muck out, turn out etc etc all together to keep each other safe.
but i dont feel its fair that she has been put in this position, its really hard for her but i know she knows how important the horses are especially whilst im going through therapy and stuff.
i am unsure of what to do.
do i:
look for a horse on full loan to go on diy or assisted diy/part livery at a different yard?
keep going up the current yard?
i really am at a loss and this is really hard to explain, i am only 19 but really need a horse in my life for my sanity!!!
also does anyone know of anyone know of any livery yards in gloucester area?
all responses greatfully recieved, but i have tried sorting things out with my parents.
thanks all
