I will have to go back through the old posts to refresh my memory. Recently I sold my two kids ponies. It was a very very hard decision but they have both gone to homes where they are used and cherished. I sold them so I can concentrate on my own horses and as a result brought myself something pretty special (A registered black Clydesdale mare broken to harness) She is gorgeous and due to foal in March. She was a few months along when I got her. I still have my other Clydesdale mare who I have been doing a lot of ground work with in the hope to get her in a cart also but I will have to pay someone to finish her off as I am not confident to do that. Milly is also in foal due in March so its all very very exciting to be expecting two clydie babies. Isis my new mare currently lives with my parents as I purchased her with a filly foal at foot which my mother paid for for herself so she isn't with me yet but Milly and Woody the stallion is. I am really enjoying my feathery babies which is a very welcome distraction from my recurrent m/c's and studying.
As for confidence I was surprised to have lost some of mine when I started riding Milly again. When I purchased her she was green broken in and I didn't ride her for 13months. The first time I got on her she really tested me but once we got over that she has been going really well under saddle. Little turd pigroots however I have not managed to get her out of that but apart from that she is such a good girl.
