I will continue to ride my own until I don't feel comfy any longer, I know mine well, they are *pretty* sensible and I trust them.
I wouldn't sit on something very young, silly, or to likely to try to put me on the floor!
I'd like to think I would be able to ride up to about 6 months, but who knows how I'll feel when the time comes.
*edited to add I'll also probably continue paragliding until I feel to fat to fly!!*
Do you have race horses then, or point to pointers?
They are flat racers unfortunately, like alot of great things, point to point does not happen in Canada... I train them from Oct-April and then they return to the track for racing.
I know my OH worries, but he also trusts me and my judgement... and knows that there is no way in hell he'd keep me away... lol
Argh im too tall here for doing flats, i like point to pointers though was going to work at a yard near me that has them during the winter when mine are on holiday - just looks tons of fun
So do you just have your own now since they have gone back? Thinking that trying to get on them in oct might be a slightly hilarious sight ha ha ha!!
Also i know now that i'm not going to be able to do so much eventing next year, since im at uni and will have a baby going to be a bit hard to pay for, think my mum totalled it at £90 a day (ouch) not sure what that is to you, so think i will be cutting down ha ha! So annoying tho cos he's qualified for tons this year and i have to now watch my sis doing it on him (cry)
I have one horse of my own (a Thoroughbred). Her sire actually did flat racing in the UK for awhile.
I am still training 5 other horses right now... plus working part-time in a hospital LOL! Im trying to finish up with one client though and that will take away 2 of the horses.
Yes, im sure in Sept/Oct I will look silly trying to get on and off lol... But if I cant do it easily I will just stop and lunge my horse so I can keep her fitness up. No one else can ride her (her choice, not mine lol).
Eventing here costs about the same as yours. We spend approximately 300-400$ on an event depending on where it is. I wanted to go to quebec to event as alot of the amercans go there too, and that would likely be more because they hold traditional 3 days.
Ha ha i meant EVERY day of the year it costs that much (according to my mothers books mind) this does include competing a fair number of horses though. All adds up, you can do it on a shoe string or somehow spend a fortune.. tee hee i guess when we're travelling 8-9 hours to compete its alot, all the junior trials are down south and the training is like 100 per horse for the team training is mental, hoping that my sis gets lottery funding this year, would help. Grrrrr i soo want to get back on got to go down to the school and help her jump my pony *cries*
Am soooo jealous of you boo hoo
lol well here im not sure the cost per day, but I pay $400 a month to keep my horse at a stable with an indoor school, and then her vet bills which is about $300 a year, and then trimming and shoes, I only shoe in the summer, so half the year I pay $25 every 6 weeks and half I pay $80 for shoes.
So its not terribly bad here for cost I guess... lol
I dont live in an area with alot of good coaches, so mine drives an hour once a month to my place.
Ah i couldn cope with that, i phone mine when ever i'm having a panic attack. Have to say she normally just laughs at me lots tee hee!! Im going to have to learn to cope on my own tho now ha ha ha!! Awww i cant wait my lil sis doing 2 internationals this year going to be funny to watch me toddling around trying to groom for her tee hee not sure i'll be too fab on the dancing at night tho ha ha ha!! The second one i'll be at my due date almost ha ha be a bit of a laugh. Eeek!!
aww 2 internationals, that is awesome. I've told a friend I will come with her and be photographer, but she has a big 16.3h hanovarian and I get to coach her dressage, so I wont be groom.. lol.. I might help her with other things, but I think Im going to enjoy wearing shorts and sandles too much to do horse handling this summer.
Blob I am just like you, horses are my livelihood so I cant give them up. I have 2 very green babies that need bringing on but I have decided not to, as I had a very bad accident with major surgery in Jan and now the pregnancy. But I am riding the others and still handling all the horses. I work on a showing yard and breed my own so will just have to be careful.
I'm 14 weeks and not showing at all, so will carry on riding for as long as it is comfortable. Haven't actually told work yet but I ought to incase they think I am getting fat
