Hi everyone,
I need some of your advice/ opinions on what you would do.
Currently , am loaning poppet , who i really love , we have had alot of fun together she has also kept me going when i have been going through some very tough personal problems. I have had her .. 2 years this year and loved every minute. The problem is poppet has a bad back and i cant ride her , though i have no idea how long according to people on the yard it seems like she could be out of action for a long time:cry: I am currently still doing my days that i have her but i arent paying or riding. But another woman who has a 14.2 pony asked me if i wanted to loan her tonight, she wants someone who knows how to handle her when she throws a tantrum and wants someone long term. etc With this pony i can ride and jump, which i cant do with poppet i can also take this new pony to some shows, showjumping/ dressage etc. But i think to myself that when poppet cant be ridden i cant just say oh well i am not loaning her as i think its tight and i do love poppet.
I was thinking of doing poppet and this new pony but when it comes to winter it will be very hard for me to do both and do well at college etc.
I dont know what to do , am going to have a word with poppets owner and see how long she will be out of work for. But i dont want to come across as selfish to poppets owner, am so confused.
