Hello!
so basically, I brought a pony called daisy about 2 1/2 years ago now, as a very messed up and unhappy youngster, brought her on lovely had great fun at local shows and hunting/funrides! However I do have a gelding who I've had for years and is the one I compete properly show jumping. So I needed to sell Daisy as I was finishing school and getting a job, so affording 2 horses was going to be difficult without my parents help and I couldnt really jusitfy keeping her as she didnt really do much.
Finally only sold her as I was selling to a friend who she seemed pefect for, she came and tried her out a few times and everything was all smiles and 'yes shes the perfect pony for me'.
I did obviously get upset at selling her but convinced myself it was for the best for everyone including her as she would get to have alot more time spent on her and hid my emotions, not even crying once.
I've kept in good contact with my friend/her new owner and we have mutual friends, and I know they've struggled with some stuff (she was a strange pony) and she didnt always listen to my advice and learnt the hard way when Daisy would shut down and missbehaved or worked herself up into a state and get panicky.
Now 6 months down the line, I'm independant and paying my parents rent, paying everything for myself and my own horse and working a few days a week.
I am suddenly hearing from alot of mutual friends and by facebook statuses by her that shes not getting on with her at all, she never even liked her when she tried her, she wishes she'd never brought her, shes was way too overpriced etc.. but then the next minuite is saying how much shes improved and how she loves her.
Obviously Im devastated, and desperately want her back. I'm willing to work loads more to pay for two, althought it would take a while to get the intial money to buy her back, so I asked my parents for help and not being horsey they didnt understand and said if I want her it has to be on my own. So now I'm stuck at a dilemna, I really just wanted her back with me and my gelding where she was happy, and I dont think I realised just how much she meant to me up until now, I've been an emotional wreck for days (which If you know me is totally out of character) Am I being a bit stupid caring this much for a horse? Should I just let it go and try and move on? Or should I try and work my absoult brains off, cut back on all luxuries and sell everything I dont need and beg her to let me buy her back? I've been kept up all night for the last week just worrying and crying and depserately trying to figure out plans in my head.
Anybodies input or opinions would be much appreciated and sorry for the huge story!
