Dolly met her new owners today :)

[tessybear]

So today Dolly met her lovely new owners, they have placed a deposit on her and she will be going to live in the Yorkshire Moors It was a difficult decision to sell her, but whilst we don't have the time with me going to Uni nor the space this lovely couple certainly can and so much more.

And for all of Dolly's HHO aunts they are on here ! I cannot remember their username but im sure they will come along and say hello later Please no comments about how we should have kept her etc. Its not the responsible thing, I will cry like a baby when she goes but it's in knowledge she is going to a forever home where she will be loved and spoilt.

A happy post that marks a new turning point in the Bogof Dolly Mixtures life

Thank you lovely, I know someone will have something to say about us selling her, but im thinking with my head not my heart here. They have said we can go visit her whenever and have them on Fb too ! Im so happy, its a relief to me, a heavy burden has been lifted knowing this special little girl is going to an amazing home.

Well if anybody says anything they're clearly not thinking about Dolly's best interests!! You've done a brilliant thing and found her a fantastic home! So, good on you!

Yes sadly Im sure they will say hello later and tell you about themselves but they have done amazing things with other horses, saved one ! Its a decision i didnt want to make but hadto be done

New owners have said they will update so im sure it's not the last you will hear of Dolly

 

[ATrueClassAct]

Awww I'm sure you've found her a lovely lovely home and with technology nowadays you can see all kinds of photos snd videos
I can say from taking a horse to uni with me, it's not easy finding time for everything...and my old lady is retired!

 

[FlaxenPony05]

They sound great, when are they going to be getting her?

 

[mulledwhine]

Don't worry about what people say, you recognised you could not do the best by her, and found her a lovely home

That's all any one can ask for xxxx

 

[Fjord]

That sounds like a very sensible option TB, and I'm sure she's going to have a wonderful time on the moors.

It really is, we have been told we can visit too so im super happy about it all She will be lvoed and cared for, what else can we ask? x Well that is is, i would have two to care for whilt at uni and commuting ... not ideal

They sound great, when are they going to be getting her?

You know when you meet someone and you just know they are good people ? It was that, fantastic couple. When Dolly dodar is weaned

Don't worry about what people say, you recognised you could not do the best by her, and found her a lovely home

That's all any one can ask for xxxx

Thank you lovely, they can offer her so much more and it would be cruel for us not to allow her that xx

It is, we dont have any experience with youngsters they do ! and they have much more land etc. more importantly time Oh i bet she will hooning about with her new buddies !

As long as you are happy with her new owners that is what counts. I have sold homebreds (and kept more) and I love getting updates as to how they are doing, and seeing them growing up so happy. I always ask that if they ever need to sell I get first refusal. That gives me peace of mind too. I am sure she will be much loved. X

Know exactly what you mean, it's a lovely feeling. When is she going to be weaned? (Excuse my silly question )

I bet it was difficult, im sure she will too ! x

Err around 5 months i should think ( she is struggling to drink at the moment and Tess is pushing her away at times )

 

[Ladyinred]

Tessybear you have acted with such maturity through the shock and then the birth of a totally unexpected foal. I am sure everyone will understand this isn't a decision you took lightly and that you have found Dolly the best home you can.

FWIW I think you have done the right thing, and done it early so you don't have a last minute panic to sell before uni. If anyone can find fault with your decision then I think they will have a load of HHO'ers on their heads!!

Look forward to meeting the new owners.

 

[ShadowHunter]

What a brave choice. You didn't ask for Dolly, so you've done extremely well with her so no one should have the right to say that your doing wrong by selling her. It's beautiful up in the Yorkshire moors, im sure she'll love it.

Hopefully the new owners can update us with her progress. Would be lovely to see her grow up and eventually be backed.

I could not of said this any better ^^^^ Well done for being brave & responsible.

 

[indie999]

Oh gosh dont worry about doing the right thing!! I have seen too many ruined horses for folks that dont have the skill or time. So you are doing what is best for Dolly and thats all that matters. But good luck she has been one lucky foal to have had such caring owners and a great mum of course.

Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience, thoroughly enjoyable.x

 

[Boxers]

That's lovely news Tessybear. The best thing for Dolly is what matters. Of course you will missmher dreadfully, but she will have a great life I am sure, and hopefully her new owners will come on here and give us all the updates.

Thank you It wasn't easy but my happiness comes after Dolly ! her new owners can offer her so much more which she deserves they have a 3 hour drive home bless them in this weather !

It looks beautiful plenty of room for a speedy foal to gallop about in It will be amazing to watch that happen and im sure they will share it with you guys too

WELL I failed in my quest to find their profile

TB anyone stupid enough to say you are irresponsible doesn't know what they are on about. You have been more than responsible in your whole attitude and they way you have dealt with a surprise baby in the midst of exams etc. Selling her is the responsible thing to do having recognised that you don't have the time for her with Uni etc. many experienced breeders could learn a thing or two from you. Well done on finding a super home, she will always be your first baby and is a credit to you thus far.

Thank you so much, brought a tear to my eye ! I love dolly, it's hard not to get attached to something so beautiful and she has given me an amazing experience However it's not time for someone else who can offer her so much more to take over the next chapter of her life

I believe so I just cannot remember what they said their username was

 

[Hoopsa]

You have made a brave but very correct decision. Too many people plough on when they haven't the time or space for another horse. Her new owners sound lovely - first impressions count for a lot. Looking forward to more pictures!
