telling people

my decision....

those I've told so far this end are in support; partner thinks about time too, and Gaynor agrees the way to go as well

so, horse hunt...

I keep saying my next horse will be a gelding, who'll hack on his own or in company, and will do gates, LOL!

I want to be able to get out without worrying about whether we'll even get out the gate but also be able to train and actually get out and do some dressage as well (I've never been a jumper!), so i wouldn't want one that doesn't want to be in the arena

There's a lot to be said for an OTTB - a friend had a lovely one last spring that would have fitted the bill perfectly, but he was bought to sell on and now has been...but something of his stamp, with a sensible head on his shoulders - and they've all been out and about and know that whiteboards and such like won't eat them!

my plan is to potter on with Molly until we find something else (assuming she recovers from this weeks lameness, which one hopes she does, we didn't think it was anything too awful!)

Do you have horse adoption groups there in the UK? There are dozens of horses here that might suit including a number of OTTB's. Don't know what the situation is there, but it's worth a look. I'd adopt again myself. (And remember, Chance is an adoptee and he...aside from being green...has just the right attitude for what you want.)

Shame it's so far but Mandeigh knows of one in her neck of the woods that sounded super. One will turn up though so enjoy the search.

i pm'd mandeigh about that hanoverian; but probably would be a shade much for me and i don't have that amount of money ATM...even though it is a good price!
