When she arrived here - after her flight to Amsterdam, ferry to the UK and drive to West Wales she was as cool as a cucumber. It was raining (as often it does up here in the Welsh hills) and getting dark. The lorry couldn't get to the stables and I had to lead her back in the headlights of my dads car for about a mile and a half - what an arrival!

I'm open to discussing loan terms - would love her to go to an enthusiast with experience, for riding and/or breeding (and it'd be nice if she had a foal before getting too much older). Main thing is that you look after her and have your own insurance while she's with you. (Not expecting disaster, just being cautious). The likelihood of me being able to have her back in the next few years does not seem to be high at the moment, it could even turn out to be a more or less permanent arrangement. If you bred from her I'd like to see the foal(s) and have some photos, for myself and my website. Obviously it'd be nice to visit her when I can, but I'm not planning to be a pest!

I bought Tyra with the intention of keeping her forever, of breeding smaller (but quality) horses, so that children could enjoy QHs too! Then of passing her to my son when he's old enough. I am now facing a divorce, so things obviously aren't going as planned. I've sold my other horses, but if there's a QH enthusiast willing to take her on, bring her back to work - either before or after perhaps getting a foal or two out of her - well then it sounds like a nice option to me.
