A horse!

A large part of 'the dream' is to have our own horses, this along with skiing drove what kind of place we bought.
We have been keeping an eye out for something suitable, but not really looking in a full on way, as having horses is time consuming and we don't seem to have quite enough time to do everything now (and we haven't even started the renovation yet). However we saw an advert for a lovely looking horse quite close by, so we decided it would be a good idea to go and see her. If nothing else it would give us some experince of what to expect, what to look for etc.
We have managed to be a bit more sensible than sometimes (bought the first house we saw) and didn't buy her on the spot. We took a friend who has owned a number of horses along, she was positive too, so we are going back on Tuesday for another ride. Hopefully we won't find that sensible just ends in disappointment (when someone else buys her first!).
She is a Gypsy Cob. We like her nice gentle temperament, ideal for the first time horse owner, but also she seems to have a spark to her and is not just a plodding placid horse. She is very pretty (in a giant arsed kind of way) too.
