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 |

Oh no, I'm so sorry! I've been there too, had to sell my horse because I couldn't afford him anymore. It's heartbreaking.

I still have Moscow. But almost feel like I've let My Fair Friend down. I know he's gone to a nice home though

I'm sorry. I had to surrender one of my cats a few months ago, and even knowing it was the best decision I could have made it was so hard to do. I cried for days.

Give it some time sugahorse, it is hard to let them go, but if that horse is loved and someone gives it a good home, the horse will be happy and maybe eventually you can ride with this person and get better aquainted.
These horses are such a big presence in our lives so it is hard to let go. Big Hugs for you suga, Open Eyes |

I think the biggest thing I worry about is not knowing. He's not going to a friend, but someone who promises to look after and love him. But - can one really trust a human to be saying the truth? What if I find him advertised online for sale in a few weeks? I will be so angry and hurt

Oh Suga, I'm so sorry you had to sell him.
It's so hard to let them go. Back when we use to breed and raise our own I would stand in the drive and bawl like a baby every time someone drove off with one of the babies we sold. |

I guess I need to just be realistic. I wasn't going to be able to keep him forever - I was always going to take Moscow once he retired from racing. But I'd hoped I'd be able to lease him and still keep him. But it wasn't to be

I've walked away from the situation. Leaving the decisions in the hands of the others, who 'promise' he's got a great home for him. I need to wipe that slate, not look back, and not become tangled in it all again.
Sure, a lot of where I am at now, is financial. I cannot afford to keep a second horse. That's the fact, and I'm making peace with it. I'll be ok |
