Hi,
Sounds fun and exciting, but I am a bit melancholy about it. My current hunt horse has been seen by two vets and both said it was time to find a new partner if I wanted to hunt weekly and do mounted archery in the summer. Bottom line, my current horse is no longer psychically able to continue with daily riding and the once a week fast pace of first flight. To hunt at all (hilltoppers) he needs medication (brochodilator). Both the regular vet and specialist said it was time to find another horse.
And I have --well --maybe. I saw a nice mare and rode her for a couple of hours yesterday. She's sound, sane, and had lots of outdoor experience, although not on the hunt field (trail riding). The owner's daughter is going to ride her on the hunt with me this week --her behavior to hounds and horses will make or break the deal --pending vet check. But the entire time I rode her, I was sad. I don't WANT a new hunter --I want MY hunter. And yes, I know that all a horse needs to be happy is a green pasture, clean water, good care, and horse-friends, and my hunter won't miss hunting one tiny bit --but I already miss him.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
