Its only a week away from our last party (Taf goes to his new mum on the 1st sept) I cant believe I have such mixed emotions - I am excited because we are competing but also dreading it because its our last together. We are away from Tues - Sun at Summer Champs. We have tried to remain focussed on the competition and i'm positive well have some good results but then I think thats worse - as he is trying his heart out and i've just sold him!!!!!!
He is going to a lovely home where he is already loved to bits, but another thing is she wants me to deliver him, and I really dont know if I can - I feel like such a traitor for selling him on. hes never done anything wrong ever.
Bloody horses - why do they give you such extreme emotions

Hot chocolate and marsh mallows for you if you got this far
 
It is so hard when they have to go, i cried buckets when my last one went. You could deliver him and try to focus on the wonderful new home and people and try not to think about having to say goodbye?

Not sure if this helps or not!
 
At least you have the champs to enjoy together, Good luck!

at least you have sold him to someone that is going to love him to bits just like you do. I was just as bad putting one of my horses on loan
 
I didn't know you were selling Taff. I have obviously not been paying attention. At least you have found a lovely home for him where he will continue to be enjoyed.

Why are you selling if you don't mind me asking?
 
2 months ago I sold my daughters horse as he was not suitable for her, I never even rode him but I cried bucket loads when he pulled out of our yard. Never ever again will I go through that and I'll try my damn hardest not to have to get rid of my pony (divorce)

I have done the Hoys/RIHS campaign with Taf this year and I hated every minute of it, he was always placed but never came away with the red one - it is so subjective to someone being genuine and honest rather than bent and facey. I promised myself I wouldnt do that to him again, so was left with the option being bring him home to be a happy hacker or let him go. He is going to a lady who wants to do dressage with him and she has an instructor that will probably do the Workers with him (pony has one hugggeeeee jump) selling him was always subject to right home and I think that is just perfect for him. He is schooled to perfection which is what was always getting him placed (consistent high ride marks) and with the ability to go far in workers i think i found the perfect home for him. She absolutely loves him and is happy to spend all day cuddling and grooming him and not just getting on working him then putting him back in the stable. Everyone is so sad that he is going the yard owner the producer the jockey and even the yard staff, it is going to be a very emotional Tuesday!
