Am I being crazy???
As you know last week I took Vardi over to the UK and he is now with my friend on a six month Exercise Livery to see how he keeps sound in light work and also to give him some riding miles on his clock, after this he will either go onto a very light working livery or we will look for a loaner from her yard. When I left him on Sunday he was happy, settled and I had a good feeling that this will actually be the making of him.
I had asked my trainer to look out for another horse for me accepting that the right one could take months to find, we wanted one on personal recommendation rather than schlepping through the for sale ads. I returned on Monday to find that our saddler had called with a recommendation of a mare for sale that seems to 100% fit the bill of what I am looking for, she is beautiful to look at, has a great basis training, and is described as the Nanny Horse. We are due to go and view her on Sunday.
Emotionally I am all over the place! I am on one hand excited about the viewing and on the other guilty about being excited about it. My head is saying that I already have my horse and it is just that he is in the UK! I miss V like hell and have shed a fair few tears especially when I went into the yard on Monday to see his name plate still up on his stable and his bed still made up and his haynet still hanging. My poor YO has slipped a disc and was guilt ridden that he could not take it all down and empty his stable, OH and I will do it this weekend and hopefully this will make me feel better!
I keep thinking is it too soon? This mare does indeed sound perfect in every way and if I say actually I do not want to go and view her then I will be kicking myself in 6 months time, as far as V is concerned I will still own him, and will still be able to ride him every 2 months when I go to the UK to visit.
I guess I am just missing the little dude and feeling guilty that I may just be replacing him too soon, which is crazy as he is healthy, happy and doing well according to my friend in the UK.
Ass kicking required please!!
