A friend called this morning with an offer from someone where she keeps her horse. This person has 4 horses at the same place and others scattered about.
Mandy, the owner, has asked if I wanted to get back into horses and if I do, I can go and use her horses to get back into shape. This will benefit both of us, Mandy is loosing the girl who helps her and once I am fit enough doing 4 stabled horses will be easy.
If I want to ride, I will be able to, but it won't matter if I don't, but what I will love, is to school these horses if I can get back to riding. I love schooling them as much as I love doing the stable work, especially when I get them going in self carriage on a light contact, and us in harmony.
Bliss

Mandy has been wanting me to help her for several years now but I haven't had the chance. Every other weekend she goes to see her father in Pwllheli. Her horses are put out for her every morning and as long as the stables, feeds etc are ready for them to come into, and bring them in, that is all that will be needed. If I can get my weight down enough to ride them, as far as Mandy is concerned I can ride them now, I will be able to ride whenever I want and compete on the as well. To me jumping is to help get a horse's paces right and not for competing but I can and used to do Dressage. Doubt I will compete though, far too old The girl that helps Mandy at the moment, has been having lessons at John Whittackers yard paid for by Mandy, so having me will be a lot cheaper

Oh dear there is no reply button except the quick reply.
This offer looks brilliant to me - although it does sound hard work too! If you have the time I would give it a go Margaret - and as someone else said earlier, photos of horses would be great. I love looking at them but know very little about horses! Would love to know more....maybe a diary account for TPRD would be infomative? I'd love to read it if you go for it Margaret! I am very envious of people who know how to ride and to be able to jump and do dressage as well - wow, that brilliant!!
Wishing you good luck and hope to hear all about it soon!
