With my little Hope leaving this morning, I’ve been left with that horrible empty feeling… and, perhaps more than anything, a big question mark over what comes next. ❤️
Five empty stables!!
And for the first time, I’m looking at them and wondering… do I actually want to fill them?
The horse industry feels so different these days. Selling is harder than ever, the expectations placed on ponies seem higher and higher, yet budgets seem smaller and smaller. And somewhere along the way, I feel we’ve lost the good old-fashioned horsemanship that mattered so much.
I don’t want to buy and sell for the sake of it. I don’t want to put pressure on ponies to be something they’re not. And I certainly don’t want to spend my days feeling like I’m constantly trying to keep up with an industry that no longer feels quite like the one I fell in love with.
But equally… I’m not ready to walk away.
If you had five empty stables… what would you do?
Throw some ideas at me.....
