I'm sure there are lots of you with far worse stories and I'm not trying to be self indulgent but since newbie arrived just over 3 months ago (with a full vetting) she's been lame (vet and farrier out multiple times), cut her tongue and has now got a wound on her leg (I decided to put her in with my other two 10 days ago and they've clearly had a squabble yesterday). It's not serious. Last year one of my other mares was investigated for back end stiffness issues under saddle - ulcers which were fully treated but didn't resolve the issue. Months of investigations and still unable to identify cause so turned her away (hence newbie). The third and final mare is field ornament - we think pain related bolting and broncing but full scans couldn't identify the issue properly. She's a different horse not ridden, which speaks volumes. The oldest is 9. I'm a competent owner who's admittedly made some bad choices (though not my latest - she's a princess but perfect for me as a rider), they get lots of time and care and money spent on them (I've been a vets wet dream!) and yet they have all been a royal PIA!
Does anyone have a horse that's been easy in every way?!
