Due to the sad retirement of my beautiful horse, I am now searching for a steady, trustworthy best friend to enjoy new adventures with. We have a super, kind & knowledgeable family home along with my retired boy, our daughter’s pony & our 2 Shetlands. Our horses are treated as part of our family & receive the absolute best of care & I would be happy to provide references & to keep in touch.
I have ridden for several years & consider myself a knowledgeable & capable rider. However, I am a middle-aged mum who has been mostly out of the saddle over the last four years (due to my horses ongoing health issues) so I am certainly no longer as confident as I used to be! I look forward to enjoying much more sedate adventures nowadays, so I am seeking a laid-back best friend who does not require a fast-paced way of life or need riding most days to remain safe & sane.
We will be enjoying leisurely hacks, attending organised pleasure rides, lots of forest trips & maybe the odd clinic but nothing competitive. I will often be hacking alongside my young daughter on her pony so it is especially important that I find a truly steady, trustworthy type who I can depend on.
Our horses are kept at home with us, so he/she needs to be gentle natured, enjoy attention & be safe to handle on the ground as the children are often around with me.
We live in a rural area & although we generally meet very little traffic, it is likely to be a tractor/farm vehicle, so it is very important that my new horse is trustworthy around this type of traffic. Although I will often hack out with my daughter or friends, I will also be hacking alone at times so he/she must be happy/safe hacking out solo.
I do appreciate that no horse is ‘perfect’ or ‘bombproof’ & I am open to compromise but please do just be honest about any possible known ‘issues’ as I will not buy unseen & would wish to have the horse vetted.
We are based in Norfolk so ideally looking for something in or around East Anglia but would travel further if plenty of info, videos/photos could be provided beforehand. I have a sensible budget & very relaxed & loving forever home for the right horse.
