My Thyme

Yes. Updates might help! Any pics or emails?

When I thought of selling Minnie I tried to console myself by looking at horse ads, thinking a few years down the road I could get another (kids older, etc.)
Seeing that none of them (even horses 10 times as expensive) appealed to me like Minnie does made me realize I wanted to keep her.
 
Hey figured I would update. Though nothing much to say as she isn't mine :-(
BUT am still in touch with her owner and she is doing really well. They are riding side saddle! Thyme took it all in her stride as usual. They compete quite a lot and everyone compliments Thyme on her lovely, friendly nature. I like to think her gentle start to ridden life set her up well. But maybe she was always going to be that way anyway?

I am glad she has the forever home I could not give her. It's funny how things turn out because when I sold her I threw myself into my own business which is doing really well now, which means I could now afford to have her on full livery.... But I could only afford her now because I sold her back then! If you get my drift! I would buy her back now. But they aren't selling.

I am glad to read this. Am sure you did the right thing. Plus you made her the horse she is. I firmly believe that you and your way of riding will do the same for other horses. Your capabilities arent limited to one horse although it may seem that way.
I rode lots and lots of horses over the years and always wanted one of my own. Yet recently (hacking Maisie and having ridden 4 other different horses in dressage lessons) I have thought I might dislike being limited to one horse.
 
Thats a lovely thing to say Skib. Thank-you. The girls are asking for a pony. My son instantly protested "Nooooooooo! I don't want to spend my life being dragged up to the stables after school every day to hay the horses." I pointed out he was 12 now and old enough to do what liked after school! He said "oh thats fine then". Brief flashback to the stress of dragging unwilling kids out in the cold and rain!
