sorry about the pointless post but just wanted to say to someone who would understand. Have to say good bye to my boy this evening. he is off to goresbridge sales and I am away so my friend is bringing him.

i just can't afford to keep him. i have another mare that will do all the things I want so I just cant keep two of them. i was down with him at the weekend and he is such a snuggle horse! he has such character. I will miss him so much. th yard think i am mad cos they bring on horses for sale all the time and don't understand why i am so attached to him. No one horsie in my work so they don't understand either.

i just hope he goes to a good home - somewhere they will understand his personality and love him as much as i do but equally have the time and interest to do more with him so he can be the horse he has the potential to be.

It's not a pointless post as all, it's always hard to say goodbye but as you say it's for the best. When I sold me last horse it broke my heart seeing him being driven off and I never stopped thinking about him. Now you can lavish all your attention on your mare and give her the time she deserves.
 
THanks. thats the thing, I have had to put my mare on hold till he sells but i will be able to concentrate on her now. they are very different horses and to be honest, he would be perfect for me if I didn't have her - he has a lot more ability that she does - moves better, confirmation better but he has different needs. I am student and i don't have the time to put into him. she is happy enough to be just a hack and will hopefully hunt next year. he is a ISH and she is a big ID. the head says i am soing the right thing and I was fine about it up till this weekend. But now as it gets closer, I am heart broken. I wish i wasn't selling him at the sales but i have had him on the market for 2 months for a private sale and the people that have enquired have just been so off the mark. Got to the stage where he has to go.......my poor poor boy.
 
Big hugs to you, it is always difficult letting go of a horse especially when you don't really have a choice in the matter. x
 
What a shame that you couldn't find a private buyer for him. It is so difficult sometimes. Hopefully the right person will fall in love with him at the sales.
