Lets reignite this thread! At the moment I've got 2 horses, just sold one.
Shetahn is a 14.3hh grey 4yo pure Arab gelding
and Yogi is a 16.2hh bay 10yo standardbred gelding which is the one I've just sold.
Am hoping to get another horse down the track for Savannah to learn to ride on but with more personality than Yogi has. He's a bit dull.

Can I join? I have never had my own horse but have been horse mad as long as I can remember (stealing rides from friends ponies whenever I could) in my last year at uni i used my loan to finally get myself lessons and am hooked I volunteered with RDA after uni as could no longer afford lessons and then joined a yard as a groom and trainee instructor. Whilst there I had a 15.3 bay mare called Charmer on loan. She was 34 and an ex polo pony, I bought her back into work after an accident as she didn't like being in the field all day. We just did a bit of schooling and lots of hacks and messing around in the fields. She was amazing and lived up to all my dreams of owning my own horse and exceeded them. Unfortunately I lost my job (long story but yards seem to be renound for people causing trouble) and the yard manager let Charmer be used in the riding school. I latter found out she hurt her leg on a cross country ride and then was kicked in the fiekd so had to be PTS This was in 2008, since then I have ridden friends mounts whenever I can but haven't been on a horse for about 22 months now. I miss it dreadfully and once I pass my driving test plan to get back into it

Ooops sorry this is so long!

 

[CrazyCowgal]

good luck on ur drivers test

Well a wee update, unfortunately I lost my gorgeous 14.2 old man at the beginning of December due to a horrific bout of colic and because of his age they wouldn't operate. After that I couldn't bond with the coloured I had on loan at all, then found out we are pregnant with baby number 2! So that put riding out the window for a while! Cookie has now gone home and I'm left with just my wee shetland pony Charlie. But we have just bought a 10 month old gypsi cob colt that I'm getting deliverd at the beginning of next month (decided it would be easier to bond it I have him from a youngster and there's no pressure to ride for a few years).

I'm sorry to hear that , any pics of the colt, he sounds stunning. I think it's a lovely idea to just bond without riding for a few years

 

[feisty_filly]

ill dig out a pic of him hes called Darroch.

 

[Lownthwaite]

YAY!!! A horsey group!!

I own a 14 year old fell pony gelding
He's my baby - had him for 8 years but due to lack of time and funds with having LO, I had to put him out on loan when I was 25 weeks pregnant.

He is a show horse and is in a great showing home - he won the overall champion working hunter at Pony UK this year. Here's a piccy

Ahh god I miss riding so much! I started when I was 3 and rode pretty much continuously until I moved to Manchester 5 years ago..... I am hoping OH will be making plenty of pennies soon so I can be a lady of leisure for a good 12 months and get me a neddy..... and a pony for LO of course!

I miss showjumping so much I used to compete loads and miss my 24-horse livery yard I used to manage...... if only the pay were better in horseys and I would never have left to get a better paid job... so jealous of you guys that have horses, they are all bea-utiful! xx

Hi ladies, I have a 14.2 Welsh Section D called Doris. My best mate is currently looking after her while I recover from my C Section and I can't wait to see her again

How did everyone find getting back in the saddle after having their little ones? Lots of my friends seem to have completely lost their confidence with riding and I really hope this doesn't effect me x

 

[YoungNImum]

where are you in manchester emzul?
