I have just taken on a horse share with an experienced horsey friend who, in return for my monthly payment towards horse?s upkeep, will be ?teaching? me how to look after a horse. Owning a horse is a lifetime dream for me- had on off lessons and volunteered at a stable for a bit as a child but £ always an issue. Have relearnt as an adult but still a novice and v aware of my many imperfections as a rider. My question is - will my confidence increase over time? Can anyone share their experience of First time horse ownership/share/loan as an adult who didn?t grow up in the saddle?!The horse itself is not ideal as absolutely darling but is only just abt to be backed (which I will be learning abt from her- she is v experienced in this) so I will be doing lots of groundwork (which I think is important for me to learn) rather than riding for a while. Obviously I always assumed my First horse would be a been there done it oldie but the chance to learn horse care rather than just taking the plunge on my own seemed to good to miss...
