When reading other peoples posts on here, it usually appears that you all seem to have some kind of 'support network' around you. Obviously if youre on a livery yard theres always other people about to give advice,help you out etc.. or those that keep their horses on rented land usually have another horse owner or two at the same place.
But for those that keep their horses at home or rent somewhere where there is no one else about, how do you cope without any 'horsey friends' about?
I keep my two at my fathers farm since getting my first horse 18 months ago as quite a novice first time owner returning to riding after a long break and have no one horsey around at all. Most of the time im fine with this and love the freedom to do what i want when i want with no one to answer to. However it can sometimes get a bit lonely not having any likeminded people about.
Occasionly it would be nice to have a ride out with someone, but moreso just have someone there to chat to, ask their opinion, compare notes etc..
So how do you feel about doing it alone?
