A heart felt thank you.

In the blink of an eye, 35 years plus of horse owning has come to an end today. Lulu went to her new home and it marks the end of an era.
I have turned to the wonderful community on here on many occasions and you’ve offered advice, kind words, inspiration and a kick up the backside when I’ve needed it. To each and everyone of you, please know I’m incredibly grateful. I wish you all the very best and please take care. ???

 

[Barton Bounty]

You can still hang out here with us ?

 

[AmyMay]

You can still hang out here with us ?

Please make sure you do xxx

 

[LadyGascoyne]

We definitely need you to stick around @cblover

All the best to you too.

 

[scats]

All the best, please do pop in and see us all! X

 

[PurBee]

As one door closes, another opens...35yrs is truly an episode never forgotten.
I hope this era ending, although im sure its bittersweet, will bring you a new era as enchanting as horses.

(but please do pop in to cheer us on in the winter as we slip ‘n’ slide in the mud…we can post you some if you miss it ?? )

 

[southerncomfort]

All the best for the future, but yes.. please do stay. X

 

[poiuytrewq]

Definitely stay! 35 years gives you a wealth of knowledge and advice to share. Horse ownership isn’t essential.
Hope Lulu is happy in her new home, what will you do with yourself?

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I hope Lulu is happy in her new home?

No need to leave us though we are not a bad bunch x

 

[Nicnac]

New beginnings for you but do pop back!

 

[dogatemysalad]

Wishing Lulu much happiness in her new home. 35 years of life with horses is a decent stint, but I'm another person trusting that you'll still find the forum an interesting place to be. You're such a nice person.

 

[nagblagger]

Why are you leaving? Just because you don't own an equine, you have 35 years of invaluable experience we might need to tap into...please stay.

You don't have to leave! I gave up earlier this year no intention to even ride again and still come on here!

I stick mostly to clubhouse as I've no interest in the horse stuff but haven't felt I need to leave despite no longer being horsey

P.d if you're like me you definitely won't miss it!

 

[cblover]

Thank you one and all. I’ll be popping back I’m sure. I’ve no intention of disappearing in a puff of smoke ?
We’ve bought a touring caravan and hope to explore some new places. Just me, hubby and puppy ? I’m looking forward to it.

 

[Baywonder]

I'm in the 'please don't leave us' camp!

35 years is a heck of a long time of horse ownership, and I have also loved reading your input on this forum.

I always remember the words of my old manager after we had just had a round of redundancies: "The only problem is, when people leave, they take all their knowledge with them and you have lost it forever"

Good luck with the caravan @cblover - and we look forward to hearing of your new adventures!

 

[Bernster]

Ahh sad times but hoping you have lots of fun with your new venture

 

[Barton Bounty]

There are a few good eggs on here and I agree with the ladies above, always someone looking for help or advice, you might know something we don't, contrary to belief on here , there isn’t anyone that knows everything ?

I just sold my tourer as we weren’t using it, so when the time is right will probably get a campervan ?

Have we seen the puppy ???

 

[J&S]

Well I still have ponies but I long for a puppy, have a great time. x

 

[Trouper]

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't leave such a darned huge horse-shaped hole. I hope you can fill the void quickly with interesting things to do and respect for your timing - just as the worst of the horse-owning weather is arriving!!!

That sounds like a superb retirement project! Enjoy!

 

[BallyJ]

I sold up a couple of years ago and have still been hanging onto everyone's coat tails! It's a good reminder of why i don't currently have one!!

Looking forward to seeing your new adventures - plenty of doggy photos please!

 

[Wizpop]

Good luck and wishing you lots of good times in your adventures!! But, as has already been said, no need to leave us!! ?x

 

[MidChristmasCrisis]

As above…don’t leave us ..let us know about your adventures “out there” …..is it really possible you ll never own another again??

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]
