Taking the Plunge

[winnie]

Hello to all

Well My boyfriend and I have taken the plunge into buying a horse!!!!!
We have seen one and are going again to have another look on Wednesday.
We have decided to keep it grass kept.
If anyone has any tips, hints or what they were like with their first horse I would be really grateful for any advise.
I havn't slept for three days i'm really excited:D :D :D

Hi ya,

Thats great news!!

I take it you have been doing lessons etc or is it your very first time ever round horses?
I have just taken on a horse, well sharing one and love every min of it, they are a big commitment though but they give you every enjoyment you will love him/her?
What kinda horse is it??

Thank you for your reply

We have been riding for about three months and my 5 year old son has had about 5 lessons ( to be honest he's better than me LOL) and we thought that it was fantastic to have the lessons and the stables are very good about us helping but we really wanted the freedom and i don't mean this to sound bad but we had something to walk away from after the lesson ( i know how fortunate we are to be able to achieve this)

She is 6 years old, chesnut colour, her name is Bridget and we think she may be a thoroughbreed cross ( but knowing me thats way off beam)

But when i have some photos I will put some on the board, but she is gorgeous !!!!!!!:D :D :D

I had lessons for about a year then decided to share and love every min of it he teaches me alot of things which is good!!

Wish you many happy years of riding!!
