Sorry. Didn't want to scare the shit out of you.
To be honest, my daughter had some very good years with that horse. It's the last 1 1/2 years that's been a problem. Horse is sick, and Amnda don't want to go there everyday to feed it etc. Her mother has to do that everyday now.
And with a horse, you know where your daughter are... 
Mrs BRF who is against the idea anyway,says "Listen to that fella Rian,and don't be an idiot.On your head be it Michael,cos I'm not caring for a horse!"
Bit harsh!
Really,thanks Rian
Guess I better hold MY horses on this for a while, on all this evidence:\ohwell:

Anyway, say hi to your wife from me. It's always nice when a female listen to what I have to say

Things like cost of stabling,food,amount of work/ commitment+general tips for beginners,that sort of thing..
She's been bangin on about horseriding a hellava lot of late....She's 11 and about to start big school and has done fantastically in her SATS in Junior school,so I got her a riding hat and and booked some lessons,to show I'm proud of her..
Thing is, I know she's not responsible enough to look after a goldfish...
would it be a mistake to go the whole hog,and buy her a horse? I'd like her to have a horse in a way(I like em myself)but on the other hand,I don't want to get saddled with more graft...Any info appreciated.
My mother has horses. Ever hear the term "hay-burners"? That's what horses do. they eat hay. All the fucking time. Except when they're busy breaking things-- they like to chew on wood especially. Oh, and except when they're sick and need a vet. Big strong animals-- bigger than you, and they know it-- but they're like crystal, they break easy, too.
Well, those are the downsides. I've no idea what stabling in the UK costs, but my mother spends about $300-$400 per month on hay for two horses.
Amount of work-- your daughter will prolly want to brush her horse. No problem, horses love it. That's about all the work, except riding, and except for regular hoof trimming (which you hire a professional for) that horses require.
