I have decided to let my gorgeous mare go off to be a broodie in the New Forest. I'm losing my livery as the owner is emigrating and financially I could really do with a break so have sadly decided to let her go. She's 15 and I've had her since she was 6 months old and although I'm trying to let my head rule my heart I'm actually in pieces. Damn my blurry eyes.
Any tips on how to get over this? I have two weeks to spoil and cosset her before she goes but handing her over is going to be a nightmare. And it will be in a public place as the new owners are competing locally and want me to hand her over there. I'm such a wuss I know I will cry even though I can visit her whenever. After 30 years of horse owning I'm not sure how I'm going to fill my time. I have already got rides offered but it's the heartache that's going to be an issue. Plus I haven't told anyone as people can be so bloody judgemental. Sadly my circumstances have changed since I bought her otherwise she would be with me forever. Ah bugger... Any advice?
