Well... unfortuntely he is not the horse for me, I will stick with my riding school horses for now until something more suitable comes up near to me.

And even more annoying, the horse I ride at the stables lost a shoe and is now lame! No luck for me.

He's just too... pushy and bolshy and very very highly strung. Had I not had young children at home it would not have been a problem but I cannot risk the possibility of falling badly (fell off my friends horse who is, apparently easier to manage than this guy!) I would not have anyone to help me if I hurt myself.
I know falling is a risk you take with any horse but I just didn't feel 100% that I would be able to manage him.


However, I am just waiting to hear back about a mare, who is a little further away from me, so everything crossed!

that sad to hear but you should of stuck at it as you can not ride the same horse for the rest of your life as you know horse will try there luck with you being a new rider on the horse you need to let them know who is boss

hope you find somthink more suitable for you to ride

I hdan't even ridden him before I knew he was too much. Didn't hear good things from others at th yard either. Im not big and thre's no way I can cope with something that bolshy, even one of the girls that works there said sometimes you just have to get out the way, and no kids or dogs on the yard when he's being moved incase he bolts!


I'm just waiting to meet a horse, an irish draught x thoroughbred mare, who is owned by someone my partners family knows as she cared for OH grandpa in his last years. The deal sounds good, the area the horse is in sounds fab- right next to a big forest, its 6 miles away but tack can be kept there and I have a bike and its on a bus route. Just waiting to go and meet her, and going to meet her owner tonight and get some pics.


I've never part loaned before, does anyone know should I have a signed agreement or something?

It's probably best to have a written agreement. There are quite a few example agreements for sharers on the 'net. You might find a suitable one with a quick google search.

Good luck and hope this one works out for you.
