Thought I could share here.
Had to sell one of my horses; couldn't afford 2. It's a good home. 25mins away from me. But it's still not easy. He left this morning and I didn't go see him off because it would have been too hard.
I'm managing to keep things together mostly. I still have my other one. It wasn't because I wanted to, but because I had to. They do become like your children
