(14,881 posts)I lost the horse love of my life just 2 years after I got him, to barn envy. His hock was shattered in a "mysterious" accident. He was supposedly found out in the paddock with broken leg, covered in lather, when he was supposed to be in his (completely undamaged) stall eating breakfast. I was just 17 and about to head off to college with him when this happened.
I lost the 2nd love of my life, an arabian that I rescued and cared for for 22+, just over a year ago.
This mare is a tough, tough nut. Probably too tough for me, and I can't give her what she needs. I should have had what she needed, but I was defrauded when I bought his minifarm, so it doesn't have what we need, plus lost much of my life savings and haven't been able to sell it for close to what it's worth so I can start over somewhere else.
I am thinking this morning of what she needs to fix her attitude and (basically, somebody who can take her out with company for good cross-country riding to channel her excess energy into forward) and thinking I will offer her for sale at a reduced price for young pro who can give her what she needs. She is very pretty, very athletic, very talented, very high energy and very, very sweet as long as you don't ask her to do anything but eat.
