Just have to share my excitement with horse people because my husband doesn’t really get it lol
I have been slowly and casually looking for leases to get back into the horse world. I rode for 10+ years (through my childhood and teens) but had to give it up to do the college thing and then life happened. But 8 years later IM BACK!
Went and saw a guy today who’s owner is in college and is just struggling to juggle college, work and horses. I’m pretty pessimistic so I went into this not expecting much but…… yall.
I’ve always been the kid that gets stuck on ponies, so I’m normally not totally comfortable with anything above 15 hh. I’m also technically in the “cautious/timid rider” group which doesn’t help.
Tell me why I hopped on this 16.3 hh giant, hadn’t been worked in a week and a half, and was totally comfortable within 5 minutes. It was like I never left the saddle. He was SUCH a gentleman and incredibly levelheaded with the amount of stuff going on around him (5 dogs running around, a loud ass tractor right next to the ring, horses neighing and spooking)
Anyways, I’m stoked. Going to schedule a PPE and gotta find a barn I like (I don’t like the one he’s at now AND I got weird vibes from the others). But i’m just so freaking excited y’all.
