Hi there - I love showing but haven't been able to squeeze into my gear for a couple of years now, and I refuse to buy a larger size. Consequently, my beautiful riding horse has been a paddock ornament for far too long. It makes me feel so guilty every time I look out of the window (though I'm sure he thinks it's a wonderful arrangement really, haha) :) I'm determined to be back out competing by the end of the year. No excuses!

  • Thanks so much Peggy! I'm in New Zealand - the show season here runs from October/November to April. My aim is to get my boy out for at least a few outings during that time. I've also got this ex-racehorse girl to start but she is so dainty that I simply will not get on board until I am a more reasonable weight. I need to lose at least 20 pounds before I'd be happy riding her.

Beautiful!!! That's awesome, Jen! The girl who has taken care of my horses for decades is my bff. She has three stables and over a dozen horses of her own that I can ride any time. They go Western, and I guess that's OK to start and just trail ride. I ride English, but can go Western, even tried sidesaddle LOL. Hope to get another English boy, would love a Fresian. BTW, I'm in the USA, east coast. Hope to chat again. Keep up the good work! Hey, back in the saddle soon! :)
