After last weekend, Dan is firm that he does not want to move North, so...things don't need to change as much. It is heartbreaking that I can't keep both of my girls, but I can manage one and build the businesses and keep working. Busy, but I can manage one. Fly has a guaranteed 5 star home for life with her old owner, Molly if sold would not have any certainty and she is like my oversized lapdog now so decision made. She is staying. She did make me laugh tonight though. She decided to nap on the lunge and when I went to send her forward she went straight up. I can only imagine the thought in her head, but her face said it all...she went up, got quite high and then basically pooed herself, came straight back down and looked in complete shock bless her. I gave her a minute, sent her on and she was perfect. It's the first time she's done anything since she reared over backwards and landed on me. I honestly think after seeing that tonight that the rear was her baby reaction to fear when we fell but that it must have scared the living daylights out of her. Tonight it was like she thought, "ah...I don't want to do that, I'll go up......OH CRAP, I DON'T EVER WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN". It was like she got to a point in the rear where she remembered because her face said it all. She could not get her front feet back on the ground fast enough and was visibly shaken bless her. Aside that, OMG I forgot what incredible movement she has :-)

So pleased you can keep Molly, it certainly does sound as if you need to keep your own lives on track whilst trying to spend time with SIL, when you can.

Families don't Change and relationships that are difficult are easier to manage when you can have some distance from them.

That's is some good news to start the week with.

Thanks and yep...should be a good week now I have a plan and we have don't have our future up in the air anymore. :-)

His family are coming for Christmas, but he's told them they can only stay for 2-3 days. They didn't ask why so he didn't tell them. Happy with that as would like for it to stay agreeable if at all possible. My folks will be here for Christmas dinner anyway so that'll help :-)
 
I'm really happy and so is Dan. He pretends he doesn't like horses but he's finding it harder to convince anyone of that when he can't leave the yard without giving Fly and Molly goodbye cuddles :-) Going to see how she is again today and if we have any more mini tantrums from her. Bless her, I do love working with babies. Thanks everyone xx
 
Woohoo!

I'm glad to hear that you're going to keep her, and I hope that she didn't have any mini tantrums today.
 
Yeah she did. She was really keen so I asked her to canter...cue a few spectacular bucks and one moment of stopping and planting but when I got behind her today she just went, "understood...I'm going mum, don't worry" lol." She was good. Getting her checked over by vet end of the week before I start really asking anything of her but she is loving having something to do. I can hardly bear to give Fly cuddles without crying but I can't not give her cuddles either. It's gonna hurt when she goes.

I presume that it is both a comfort to know that Fly is going back to a good home, but at the same time, not a comfort at all because she won't be with you any more. I can only offer {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} and sympathy.

Yep, I know Fly will never want for anything so am happy with that. I'll just miss her. I'll have Molly to keep me occupied though :-)
