Hello all. I am exploring the possibility of a sharer for Ziggy. I have met a young lady recently who is very experienced - she has managed a small local yard, given lessons, and ridden everything - but who has had a break from riding and is looking for a pony to share while she gets her riding legs back. She can't afford to pay but I don't mind that.
She talks about "having been ill" and "having lost her confidence". She sayd, "I was hospitalised for a while last year". She is a scrap of a thing and it is clear to me from her Facebook page that what hospitalised her was near-fatal anorexia.
I don't know much about this condition and I don't know how to tell her that I know what the problem was. Should I just wait and let her tell me? Is there anything I should beware of? She seems very fragile and I know I can bounce all over people sometimes - I don't want to upset her or set her recovery back. Any ideas, experience, guidance for me?
