We’re seven months into fostering. Kim has done a sterling job in settling the ponies and helping me section off the field. She has shown me how to bring the ponies in, groom and check them. Over the last few months I’ve started to take on more of the day to day jobs. Kim’s increasingly busy life has meant she has less spare time so the moment I’ve tried to avoid has arrived. I have to step up and take responsibility of the ponies. This is what I had been working towards, part of me was excited but I was also petrified. I knew I could go to Kim if I got myself into a pickle but I was determined to show her, my family and friends and most importantly to prove to myself that I could do it and I wouldn’t buckle under the pressure.
