Missy <3's Count D, I don't mean to sound rude, but the way you wrote that, it sounds like you're more upset over not being able to ride for a week than the welfare of your horse. You should just be happy he's alive. My aunts horse broke her leg by slipping in the barn. Her leg got caught in a 6 inch gap between the barn wall and the floor. She had to be put down. Also, my uncles horse got cut on the fence last month, and before they could get out to him, he was dead.

I'm sure you're worried about your horse, and I know you didn't mean it like I interpreted it. I just know too many people who only care about riding, and they don't take care of their horse or care if it gets hurt.
Why do I

what you did
wrong
to me?

We've been through
much together,
you and I

wanted to say
I'm sorry it ended
like this

These times
are hard
but they will
PASS


I'm sorry, Hudson

^ ^ ^ Totally True.One of my friends horse's got caught in the fence,he wounded his face pretty bad,but he survived.Although his face is covoured in scars,its a reliefe he's alive.

I dont ride cutter anymore, Dont lease him. And truly, im not to upset about the leg, hes had worse, more upset that katie, his other leaser, thought he looked fine and still rode him. And Wulfghar is my horse, I care much more for him then riding, ♥ maybe ill pit a picture up.

He is over 17 for sure, closer to 18. Yes, i know he looks like a shortie, but hes one of the horses that pictures dont work well with. Im 5"11 i can barely see over his back. And he towers over the 16 hand mare we have at our ranch. Hes a tb/belgian cross. Also, all these pics are taken from about a foot off the ground.

i ride at a stables in the new forest so we sometimes have to stop in summer on the way cos a baby donkey-albeit cute- is being stupid and sleeping in the road (on a one-track road.) and cos i hack out on a ridge, you have to wear winter wear oct-april. once i rode a small pony (well for a 1.6m so the right size is 16hh for me) with a short back so i had to lean back the whole time but then last week i rode the first horse i ever rode (almost 2 years ago) and that was so much nicer. also i ride english, which i find really comfy. they don't have many working livery horses around 16hh, and for my build. so i ride just horses ( 14.2-15hh)
i don't ride as much as my sister cos i'm more into musical theatre and might do an extra show (normally we only do one every other year.)
