I just got back from the barn, where I said good bye to my horse. I made the decision to quit riding, and I found him a new home. However my heart is still breaking. I know I made the right decisions, I just wish I could convince my heart. I have been riding for 38 years, it has been a huge part of my life. So very hard to walk away. Any my horse, my beautiful horse, he was my dream horse. He is going to go to the sister of the boy I bought him from. She is so excited and that helps a lot. She lives in Savannah GA now, and he leaves in the early morning hours on Tuesday. This is so going to rock his world. He has not shown in 6 years, not set foot off the property, a home he has had for 12 years. I know he will get good care, and I know he will be fine, but he is going to have some serious adjusting to do. My horse was supposed to be the one to let me get into the A/O jumper ring. Never realized that dream. In fact as far as the horses have gone, there are a lot of unrealized dreams. Perhaps that is why I chose to quit. Too many unrealized dreams, disappointments, and heartaches. I just was not enjoying it like I once did. I am going to miss my sweet Pete. He was such an incredible horse. I hope he has many wonderful years ahead of him, and maybe just maybe he will get back in the ring. Good Bye Petie. You will always be my dream horse. |

I am so sorry... I know you have really struggled with this. But it sounds like you have done right by him in finding him a good home. He is lucky to have had you. I know the coming weeks will be hard, but you will be just fine! And you had some cool little furr butts to help. |

This must have been a heart-wrenching decision for you to make. Sometimes being an adult is a real bitch. Fortunately, you were able to send him to a home that you're comfortable with. That means so much.
