![]() ![]() I sold my horse at 16 and did all the usual teenager things, then got married, had a family, and 20 years later was asked to ride at a freind of a friends who was setting up a riding holiday centre. They were some of the best days of my life. I had a pony at aged 12 as my uncle had a riding stables and I worked there for free livery, otherwise we would never have been able to afford a horse. He's happy at the livery and we enjoy doing lots of fun things.ĭo it when you can, it's hard to manage on a budget but I'll never let him go and he's given me back so much in the years I've had him. Sadly I had to move out of the farm but even now on a limited wage it's never a hardship finding the money for him. I was 36 and never thought I'd be able to have a horse all of my own!!! So long story short I got Kane, he was 3 years old (sold as 5!!!) and very very green, he was blind in his left eye, terrified of men, difficult to catch, impossible to shoe and generally not a good first horse!!! But 7 years on and I have the most amazingly wonderful cob ever!! He's fun, very forward going and always keeps me guessing!! Sadly they had to sell him and at the time I couldn't afford to buy him and at the same time I was moving to a farm with 20 acres in North Wales! A few days after the move my mum gave me a card and it had a picture of a rocking horse on it, inside it said I know you always wanted a rocking horse, so we are going to buy you one now.but a living breathing one. ![]() Took it up again at 30 when a friend suggested a riding lesson 'just for a laugh'.well that lesson turned into 4 years of going to the riding school twice a week and resulted in me loaning a horse from them and taking out hacks at the weekend in return for my beautiful loan horse. As a kid I had a horse, she was an insane arab cross that I was given by a farmer.there was a reason such a stunning horse was being given away she was nuts!! Anyway I wasn't a pony club girl, I was happier hacking and playing in fields so stopped riding at 16 to leave home. ![]()
