own a horse again

I was horse-crazy as a kid, owned my own horse at 15, then another at 21. The first one was a great horse, absolutely awesome. The second not so good and he practically destroyed my confidence. I don’t have horses at the moment, and I haven’t for about 7 or 8 years but I really would like another one. There’s something about horses that I just can’t get over.

If I was to get another horse, I’d be taking my time finding the right one. I know all horses can be completely unpredictable but some are far better than others. I want a nice dozy nag that I can slob around on and have a nice relaxed time. I used to go galloping around the bush and be a real high speed daredevil with my first horse, but I’m a fair bit older now and my confidence and desires have changed.

Horses are the kindest animals on our planet!

Well I can’t quite afford a horse of my own so I’ve done the next best thing – I’ve just taken out Portia on loan. She’s a 16hh 9 yr old yellow dunn mare and is beautiful – I’m riding her twice a week and loving it – why didn’t I do this sooner!

Can’t get the smile off my face!

I can’t believe its 13 years since I owned Fred…. Time to get my financial act together to own a horse once more! Might need to compromise and share…
