Horse Shopping
Horse shopping is hard…
because you see their ad or talk to the owner and think:
“ this sounds like the one for me! This is horse is perfect!!”
then you get out there and you’re riding the horse and you think:
“ okok! sure this horse is a little ADHD and needs a lot of leg but I can handle that!”
So you talk to the owner and they agree to let you do a trial for a week or two and as you’re working with the horse and letting it settle at the barn and maybe have your Farrier check their feet ( your farrier which is very doomsday) and you start to think:
“ ok the farrier says that he’s suspicious of why the horse has theses types of shoes and he did a good check and say that the horse maybe in pain or at least sensitive which isn’t good cause that means maybe a low hoof wall or smthing but that would it explain the weird look of the horses jump style and the reason the horse has been so temperamental about being riden and omg this horse isn’t for me at all!
So you send the horse back and you’re back to square one until you find another which could turn out like this one oor have an illness like shivers which causes the horse to be ring sour so horse shopping is a hard and very long process of getting hopes up and letting them down quickly……But hey at least you have your amazing quarterhorse you’re leasing until November that you hope the owner will allow you to extend the lease incase you can’t find a horse………… good luck horse shopping!
