Hi there... thanks for letting me join.
I am a new owner and inexperienced rider.
I have a 11yr old gelding cob who is a great pony... full of character and mischief.
I am loving being a horse mum although I worry more about my horse than my kids.
Never owned a horse before and only started riding 12 months ago. I share the horse with my 10yr old daughter who sores on this pony, even when he mugs her off!
we have found a lovely instructor to work with us, and we enjoy hacking locally as I still have anxiety re hacking and enjoy the schooling and fun in the field.
I’m on a rather judgemental/bitchy yard and the ring leaders don’t seem to have taken to me... the yard owners are lovely and some of the other liveries are lovely too, just a few spoil it, but it near home and does the job. Having a few issues with the girl I share my field with... she blames my horse getting anxious and winding hers up... now her pony has been away for 4 weeks on a boot camp and my pony has had a ‘babysitter in’ and has been fine when left so I’ve Been reassured That my pony isn’t the issue..
Also petty squabbles over the field layout.. my pony has no access to shade or shelter whereas hers has the perimeter fence which is all trees and bushes that’s offer shade and shelter.. the field could definetly be divide up better but she won’t ??.
looking forward to Turing to this site for advise if that’s ok
