Stage 3 to moving

[Native Lover]

My offer was accepted today.... not on a small holding or house in the country but on a lovely little bungalow here in the city.... I thought about it long and hard a wasn't sure I could give up my friends..... And start completely again..... My OH was not so keen on moving so far away. So we down sized and instead I get a 3.5 tonne horsebox so I can get out more and do some of the things I want to do... like beach riding and find some off road trails. forest rides and endurance/pleasure rides

I know I hanker after country living but for my OH its too big a move.... I chose a lovely bungalow that we can work on together to make a home and it has a low maintenance garden so we can have more fun living our life... Having transport will really make things much better for me long term.... I want to try so many things and could never get to them so its the next best thing to having a house in the country

So hopefully we will be moved in 8-12 weeks and have a horse box in time for the summer hols and all the events. eeekkks exciting.....

Sounds brilliant, NL! I hope the move goes smoothly. But where will you keep your horses?

 

[Native Lover]

I will keep renting the field i currently rent outside Lincoln....so the ponies will be happy...its cheap and cheerful

How exciting!! Hope it all goes smoothly for you x

 

[Jessey]

Brilliant and that sounds like a great compromise, you'll have to come visit with a pony or two for a holiday

 

[Native Lover]

Thanks everyone....A tent, a sleeping bag..... a coral of electric fencing and I am off exploring..... this is a lifetime dream of mine.....

Fantastic! Sounds like everyone has benefited out of that compromise! (And the house in the country may come in the future)

 

[Native Lover]

A house in the country might pop up one day but for now I am really happy

Here you go. Maybe cheaper to pit together yourself though.

Fantastic! I live in a town and have my horses in the countryside, 10 mins drive away, it's better this way as they're not too far away, but yet you still have all your amenities etc close by and friends etc. As much as I'd love to have my horses at home, I'd still rather be close to a town/city!

And to gain a van out of it too, even better! Who needs horses when you can't show them off by taking them places regularly
