Prompted by the sharer thread I'm toying with looking for someone to share my mare in the spring, but I don't really want to so I need your advice/ideas
Due to an out of the blue family issue in the near future I'm going to have far less time to myself than currently, and this will go on for a long time. I desperately don't want to part with her but I don't think I'll have time to ride more than a couple of times a week, and may even struggle with getting up to look after her every day.
She's a very low maintenance little thing - lives out, no hard feed etc so I don't really need the financial contribution, but she deserves and needs daily time and attention
She's one of those lovely sensible little cobs that behaves the same whether she's ridden every day or once in a blue moon, but she's a native and prone to getting fat and flabby if she's not worked enough.
I love her to bits, she's turned me from a nervous wreck into a confident rider and I'm ashamed to say that I'd really like to keep her just for me, but that's just selfish, and not putting her needs first isn't it?
