Hi all,
It's 2 minutes past one on what I'm counting as the first day of my week off (even though it's bank holiday and I'd have been off anyway). I'd hoped to line up some horses to go and see this week but with it being the wrong time of year etc, it seems fairly slim pickings so I've got a week stretching ahead of me to have another good look.
Also, my riding instructor is away this week which means no conventional riding lesson. Soo.... I'm thinking, what shall I do instead? Find a good hacking centre and go for a nice hack? Find another riding centre and have a one off lesson to see? Ring around some trekking centres and see if they might have any horses available to buy and then go there for a hack and have a look?
Thought of you @CharliesAngel when I saw that one of my, fairly, local (about an hour away) trekking centres, use mainly highland ponies and also sell them (and possibly breed them by the looks)! They say on their website to get in touch and ask if there are any for sale but I chickened out in case I looked like I had a stupid low budget - still waiting for money back from dealership.
Anyhow, thoughts and ideas everyone? I'm feeling positive about this week's potential!
