I have my own horse Alaska who I’ve had for 3 years, she’s a native mare and she is loving kind and very friendly, I ride her 4 times a week and we’re slowly getting back into work after a short break, before Alaska I had two tb horses that were not suitable for me, my first Kevin got injured and had to go to rehab, then my second horse Skye had some issues with behaviour that was not right and was very dangerous so I sold her on. Before owning my own horses I loaned for several years to get a feel of what it was like to have your own horse and see if it was something that I could do. I absolutely loved it, but like everything there was good and bad , some people expected more of my time , and other people were a bit not liking other people ride there horses which was strange as they asked for the service. I’ve had many jobs at different yards over the years and always enjoyed grooming which I do regularly on my own horses. I’m not a professional by any means I just enjoy making them look good and they love the attention also. I’m a in between rider not a beginner but not a professional I do the basics walk trot and canter, I can do small jumps but am working on getting more training with that, I love going out on hacks and walks around the field. I want to keep my hands in as much as I can to save for my next horse and hopefully do a few local competitions.
