Hi there everyone
Things have happened for me very quickly. I recently returned to riding at 32, and haven't ridden properly since I was 15. I was helping with mucking out 4 horses in exhange for a gentle hack. Anyway - one of their horses was on loan to them and she was going back!!!
She was the horse I'd been riding, so I bought her!!!! She's a 23 year old Shire and is lovely. A little head shy, but is extremely kind, and hacks out fine on her own, and doesn't spook.
That's all I want really - a nice gentle ride a couple of times a week
I can't believe a childhood dream has come true, as I always wanted a horse, but things get in the way!!
Does anyone have any advice for getting her fit, as she's not been ridden that much, and to make sure she stays as healthy as possible in her twilight years? I'm giving her flax oil and garlic at the moment.
