Er hi!
I've joined here as the very long term plan is to finally take the plunge into horse ownership! I've loved horses all my life and been riding since I was about 10, only riding schools and hacks whilst on holiday and the like. Met hubby and money didn't stretch to riding as regular so rode as and when I could, then met a lady via another forum and she invited me to meet her and her horses and I ended up riding one of her's for a couple of years until sadly he had to be put down. Ridden on and off since so would consider myself knowledgeable and experienced but rusty!
I'm hoping to get a job later on this year (Due to health problems and one thing and another I've not worked for a year or so) and hubby said that with two full time jobs he sees no reason why in time (Looking to part loan first) I shouldn't finally have a horse!
I'm approaching 40 (God did I just say that) and am based in South Yorkshire, only animal companions at the moment are a couple of cats who are Mum and Daughter, they came as an unwanted pregnant queen and we ended up keeping one of her litter but I think thats a story for another day!
Looking forward to getting to know you all, talking horses, making friends and sharing my (Long) journey with you all
