Hi everyone
I'm new here!
My story.....
Owned and loaned various horses from 12 then stopped at 23 and ridden about 4 times since, I'm now 39!!
About to buy a 16.2 Anglo Arab 16yr old but VERY lovely and calm Chestnut mare....not only that but I will be on my own, have managed to rent a stable, shelter, tack room and 2 small paddocks!! not only that but also getting a 2yr old shetland xwelsh as a companion, hoping to bring that on nicely for the kids in 2 yrs time.
Please tell me I'm mad! everything seems to have changed since I was last in the horsey world, all this 'outline' instead of on the bit and what happened to New Zealand rugs?
Anyway just needed to get that off my chest, I'm not really that nervous just a bit scared of not having back up as I have no horsey friends anymore. There are people around that I can call upon if need be and my hubby etc are 100% in it with me.
Oh and I've also got 2 kids aged 2 and 4.
Reading this back I know the answer to my question.
Any tips???
