Getting a feel for having my own horse
I have a horse that I ride every day so I can get a feel for having my own, any tips on what to think about?

If you mean you want tips on how to use this to work out what owning a horse is really like, and whether you have what it takes, here is what I would think through:
- Time. Can you fit in caring for the horse and being at the yard as much as daily life requires? How does it make you feel, does it feel like a positive part of your day that you look forward to? Do you still have time for everything else you want, like seeing family and friends?
- Can you get help when you need it, and do you feel you have support?
- The money side. Does it look like you could cover all the costs yourself? Factor in unexpected ones too, such as veterinary care.
Good luck 🌸
