Well, no more worries now because I've been to see my potential share horse :)
I don't know how I feel really - I don't think that I rode as well as I could even though the owner said how well I rode, but inside I don't think I did my best. I was so nervous I forgot how to ride! I didn't use my seat, or work her in an outline, or get her bending around me or turn my legs in... the list goes on. It's just really frustating...
Another thing is that the owner is having another girl come to try her pony later this week and so obviously, she will do whats best for the pony in choosing the most competent sharer. I'm just so mad at myself because I may just have mucked up my chance!!! :mad: Normally, I don't get nervous so I don't know what happened.
Anyway, the horse is kept on a really nice, quiet yard with a great school. It's surrounded by mature trees and is really secluded with tons of hacking over private farmland :D The horse is a dream. She's soo beautiful and a really responsive ride. She naturally does flying changes and is really balanced with great conformation which means riding her is like floating on a cloud. Even when you're going full pelt around the arena (she's a bit keen at her jumping) you feel safe and secure.
I'm just so mad at myself for possibly ruining a good share opportunity. She's so perfect for me :(
I'll sort out some piccys if you like
