This isn’t easy to write.<\/p>\n
For no other reason than my life is not the same as it was a couple of years ago, I have to make a crucial change.<\/p>\n
Horses aren’t pets. If they’re not regularly worked, exercised and competed, they stop thriving and can even become unmanageable, argumentative and difficult.<\/p>\n
When I bought Tom, the intention was to compete, to have fun and to be out and about, being busy in the dressage, show-jumping or eventing arenas, whenever I had a spare moment. Two years ago, when I started looking for an event horse, I had what seemed to be an amazing amount of spare time.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, things have changed. These days I not only don’t have the necessary time to compete, I don’t even have the time to school Tom six days a week.<\/p>\n
So the search begins for a good home for the chap; a home where he won’t be wasted, and won’t be standing around all day waiting for something to happen.<\/p>\n
It’s the right thing, but that doesn’t make it any easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
