Only kidding. Things arn't that bad yet ;)
I'm off on Holiday on Mon for two weeks, I've not been on holiday since i was a kid.
I don't know if i'm looking forward to going as i am worried about leaving Lucy. I feel guilty and like i am abandoning her when she needs me. The trouble is this holiday was booked last year before she was diagnosed and my parents have paid for me and my OH to go. I know i could use a holiday but feel so bad about leaving Lucy.
The only time i have spent appart from her in 12 years is the three and a half weeks i was in hospital with a broken hip and wrist. I hate not seeing her for even one day. Two weeks is such along time and what if something happens to her while i'm away. I have never trusted anyone else to look after her before and now she needs more care. I'm just so worried. God that prob sounds awful doesn't it not trusting someone with your horse.
Anyone else feel the same way. Part of me wants to go but part of me doesn't I feel guilty for wanting to go and leaving Lucy and i feel guilty for not wanting to go when everyone else is so excited. :(
Sorry for yet another pointless post but i do feel abit better for letting it out.
 
You should definately go, stop worrying about Lucy she'll be fine! I always feel like this when I go on holiday, I worry if my horses will be ok and that I'll miss them, I do miss them a bit but I also know they're having a lovely time relaxing in the field not being ridden and having a nice rest, I know it's not quite the same with Lucy (is she going out at the moment?) But I'm sure she'll be fine. You can always ring whoever's looking after her daily to get updates! Go and enjoy yourself, you deserve a break. Hope you have a good time :)
 
i solved this problem... by taking my pony with me ;)
no dont worry! just go and enjoy yourself, im sure if anyone heard anything about lucy, everyone off h&h forum will be there in a flash assisting ;) not thatt anything will!
have a great holiday, you never know when you come back she might be better then you have ever seen her :)
 
Thankyou AllySmalice. She will have to go back to being out 24/7 while i'm away. Not ideal as you can't keep a close eye on her then :( She will be going out once the paddock she is going in is cleared of ragwort. I said it had to be clear as the last thing i need now is for her to eat that. She has lost loads of weight after her last episode so probably two weeks in the field will do her good.
 
God I know, I'm terrible at leaving the horses with anyone else. Obviously it's totally irrational, at the slightest sign of trouble the person left in charge is going to call the vet straight away. Go away, have a SUPER time and try not to think about it too much. You deserve a break!
 
After the last few weeks I reckon a holiday is just what you need! And, like you said, 2 weeks at grass will benefit Lucy too. If it's a canal boat I am guessing it is still in the UK - so if the worst happens it won't be completely impossible to get back if you need to.

I'm sure that won't happen though. Go and enjoy yourself and relax - looks like the sun is going to carry on shining and I have always thought a canal holiday sounds so relaxing and tranquil. Have a lovely time and think of Lucy munching on grass...
 
Thankyou Ommadawn. It is in the uk. We are going somewhere near Birmingham I think. (my geography is rubbish :p) I live in the new forest so it's quite away but as you say not as bad as abroud. I have always wanted to go. My parents have gone for the last few years after mum got her inheritance. My sister went the first time and my uncle went last year. So now it's my turn. I'll prob drive my OH, Mum, Dad and two brothers mad always wondering how Lucy is but never mind what else do they expect. :p ;) :)
 
Oh I am just so much worse than you, I'm off for a week but I've spent the last fortnight with no sleep due to worrying about dog, kids, horses, dog, flying (and not necessarily in that order!). Had a lovely ride today and just can't believe I'm leaving them all behind, never, never again!!!! Actually I'll probably be fine once I'm there in the bar or by the pool but right now I wish I'd never booked the blooming holiday, seemed like a great idea in January with the snow/ice/mud/dark/grumpy horses etc, just not such a good idea now with the sun shining, hacking and happy horses. Perhaps a winter holiday is the thing?

I just want to say, LauraWheeler, I have enjoyed all your posts about Lucy and I find you the most genuine poster, you never have a bad word for anyone, I think that you are charming. Sorry but just had to say it!!!!

It is a well deserved comment, dont thank me, I enjoy your posts! Keep them up and the best od luck with Lucy!
 
;) we ended up buying our own boat after a canal holiday! We all loved it!

You will go and love it. It does everyone good to be able to unwind and enjoy themselves away from their "normal" life.

Whoever you have left to look after Lucy and Herbie must be very trustworthy for you to ask them in the first place. Don't worry I am sure they are in very very safe and responsible hands, enjoying a little holiday of their own :)
 
Birmingham? You can be back home in three hours if needs be! The last time I went away, I took the two of them with me - best holiday EVER!

Anyway, you go ahead and enjoy the break.

I love your spelling - it is easier to read than the dictionary version!
 
Thankyou E_Lister Don't think i'm looking forward to the locks though. Think i may leave them to OH and brothers. Mum and i can make dad cups of tea (he's driving the boat)

Who cares, I cant spell either, and I am old!
 
LauraWheeler, you frightened me for a mo when I read the title. Anyway, have a lovely holiday, hope the sun keeps on shining for you. Im sure all will be ok with Lucy.
 
Sorry Izzwizz didn't mean to scare you. I shouldn't joke like that i know.
Thankyou i hope the sun stays out i don't think it'll be much fun in the rain.
 
Laura, you had me worried then, going by your title. Naughty Laura.

Lots of love to you and yours and hoping the future will be filled with wonderful things for you x Fingers crossed too you get the job of your dreams xxx
 
Sorry Archiesmummy. But i am sort of leaving the crule world behind. I'll also be off line for the two weeks. Don't think i'll have acess to HHO on a canal boat :( :( Gonna miss you guys :(
 
Have a lovely holiday, canal boating is a fab holiday, very relaxing and the locks are quite fun, you meet loads of people and most like to offer you a bit of help or advice. If you are going around Birmingham way you may be able to arrange a trip to Cadburyland, mmmmm lovely chocolate.

Hope Lucy enjoys her two weeks in field and it helps her to feel better.

Dodgy spelling seems to be quite a thing on here some of us much worse than others. I use my predictive text on my phone to check some of my spellings :D
 
Now listen here Miss Laura - go and ENJOY yourself - right? Got it? No buts or ifs!

Lucy will be fine - I expect she will enjoy her holiday as much as you ;) Lets face it, the vets know her inside out so if the person keeping an eye on her needs to call them - they will know exactly what to look out for :)

You have a mobile (I expect) so you only need to check messages every now and again - no need to worry at all!

It will give you time to clear your head and think about that job!
 
Thanks Ravenwood. I think i just need a good kick up the ArSe. :p :)
I have spoken to the vets and told them i trust them 100%, They know the score if there is a chance to help Lucy then do it (no matter what the cost) but as soon as she starts to suffer it's time to call it a day :(
Deffinatly time to clear my head thats what my dad keeps saying he also says i need to relax and stop stressing. (easyer said than done)
