sell my mare whom ive only had for a year :(

unfortunatley i have had to make a hard decision and sell my tb mare :(
due to a motorbike accient last september resulting in my brother losing his leg with further disasterous concequences, i no longer have the time to spend on her that she deserves and feel she is being wasted standing in a field all day.

i bought her days after my old boy was put to sleep (which before people have a moan, i knew was coming for about 9 months) so she is a very special girl to me, she helped me through so much, including a bad relationship break up, and parents nearly divorcing.
I cannot beleive i have made the decision but i know my mare can be a fantastic horse for some one who is willing to put the work in, work i can no longer give. i have also had an operation on my wrist that has not worked, and so feel it is thr right time to try and get myself fixed, and focus on mine and my brothers recovery.
she needs work, but i would love to find her a forever home, a home this girl deserves. i love her so much.

sorry about the boring post, needed to get things off my chest :'(
 
Aw, Bless you ((Hugs))
Sounds like you've thought it thorough and are putting her best interests first- Its difficult I know.
Have you considered loaning or even getting a sharer type agreement? That way you could keep her. Some time out may do you good?
 
Gutted for you, i understand how you feel.
My partner was in a motorbike accident earlier this year and as a result of the lost income with him having so much time off work with his injuries i have had to sell my first homebred and have put my 5yo on loan. Its heartbreaking.
I really hope you can find her a wonderful home where she will be loved and used to her potential. It is the only comforting about these situations.
Big hugs and lots of love for you.

I so feel for you. Your brother comes first. Also with your op and bad results you need time to regroup.

Not a boring post. We can only do what we can do. Life is ***** sometimes.
 
Gosh so sorry to see this moodymare - so sorry about your brother's accident. You have obviously had such a lot to deal with. I hope you can find a lovely new home for your girl, am sure you will as you sound very caring. Good luck.
 
So sorry to hear what you have been through, like others have said you are probably making the right decision for you and your family, and I hope you manage to find her a lovely new home soon. Be kind to yourself as well, sending big (((hugs))) and I hope things improve for you soon.

loan isnt really an option tnh, i cant afford for her to come back for any reason, in terms of my job and i will have no time whatsoever to put into her, she willl just be wasted and i dont want that for her, i want her to be out having fun, doing a job i know she loves doing, not stuck in a field on the edge of a village. i know in my heart its not right for her, she is so bored :( i am just so worried she wont sell
 
I'm so sorry to hear of your brother's accident and all the other things that seem to be making your life thoroughly miserable at the moment. But do just make sure you are selling her for your reasons and not hers. She probably really isn't all that worried about just being a horse. If you love her and get enjoyment out of being with her then do think hard about the possibility of just turning her away for a year until things settle down in the rest of your life. You may find once she's gone that you have less to get up for in the morning. Good luck with whatever you decide. xx
 
I know what you mean nikicb but I am doing this for my benefit first and Formost. But taking her into consideration aswell. It's not the right time in my life for a horse ATM, I need to get my priorities straight before anything else. She needs more than what I can give her, on a daily basis aswell as long term. She is a very active horse who needs work, and not only have I got other things to worry about, I can't help but feel we are not suited to each other as much as I love her.
