More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	Just Plain Lucky - 2014-03-26 2:19 PM I am on a much needed "hiatus" of sorts too right now. One thing that helps me keep peace of mind is that horses will always be there. :) When I am financially and mentally prepared to get back into it, there will be lots of horses out there to choose from. BHW provides a great outlet, at least for me. Being able to follow various BBs on their horsey adventures is fun too. Another thing I love doing is just going to local shows and watching. You make a good point. Get involved with local open shows and playdays or 4H clubs. They are always looking for experienced people to help out at events. I know for myself and around where I live I'd love to help out but I'm too busy with my horses I don't have time to work with any local kids. It would keep you in the groove.

I missed having my own horse but had a choice of many to ride if I wanted to. I was lucky enough that I had a friend with a problem horse that I got paid to ride to get ready to sell right before I got another horse. The stress of not having to worry about "affording" feed, shoeing etc...Was a great relief at the time. You are young and have the rest of your life to get back into it.

Expert Posts: 1432 Location: Never in one place long	oija - 2014-03-26 9:13 AM Have you thought about working with a horse rescue. I did this when I was horseless for a time. I felt like I was contributing and still got my horsie time in. You don't have to go every day, and they usually appreciate any help you can give. This is a great idea!! Then you can ride/train whenever you want, help horses AND not have any financial commitments for a while. :)

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	This is not the same thing.....but I've been without my horse for 2.5 years. I help out with feed every once in a while, but I can hardly afford it now....how did I afford it 3 years ago? I didn't sell my horse because he's trained and a solid rope horse and I eventually will rope on him again. I just have to get my life in order....my parents still have him back home. if I were you....I'd sell your horse if he's not solid. It's one thing if he's good to go.....but if he's not finished, it sounds like there's not enough time to keep him riding well.
