alysmorgan asked: Is that you and your horse in your picture? I love it! It looks lush! :)

Anonymous asked: I don't know why but I get the impression that you are making out like being on a yard with your horse is horrible. This is only my opinion. The yard that I am on is lovely!

Are you…

Anonymous asked: Im in my final year at high school and hoping to get a job soon so that I can save up to get my own horse. I was wondering how much I will need to save up, and the cost of looking after a horse monthly or yearly. And how much time would need to be put into looking after a horse, hopefully when I get one?
itschloesorry asked: i just found out that the horse i was training that got taken away has been sold, to a slaughter house. Can you help me?
