Yesterday was a very up and down kind of a day for me. One of my horses that I have owned for 3 years was sold a few weeks ago and the new owner came to collect her yesterday. I thought the buyer was the best person for her and I thought he was genuine ... and then they took her away. I wasn't actually prepared for missing her, or even bothering that much as I am usually fine when my horses go, but then I always normally deliver them to their new homes. This is the first time I have had a horse of mine collected and I took the buyer on trust that he was as he claimed.
Anyhow as the afternoon went on, I was watching her herd and noticed just how terribly down in the dumps they were
. This herd has remained intact for about 2 years now and I was surprised at how much of a void it would leave for the rest of them. Glad to say, they still seem down today, but brighter than they were yesterday.
As the day went on yesterday, I kept over-analysing things and got to the stage that I seriously wondered if I had done the right thing by her
. Now I have NEVER had these feelings before with a horse, so I think that is why it took me aback.
Later in the afternoon I was given some wonderful news about some land we had been looking at, so was very happy to hear that info.
Last night, I had a knock on my door and was given some news which I was very uncomfortable with. As my husband is now in England for a couple of months, I started to really worry over this horrible news. Hardly slept a wink, woke up this morning with a real downer, spoke to my husband and finally started feeling a little better about it all. An HHO forum member called at the same time and almost made me cry because of her absolute and genuine kind offer - thank you so very very much; you know who you are
.
THEN after all this ... the phone goes again. It was the buyer of my horse! Calling to let me know that she settled in perfectly and has already made friends with all the other horses ... and what food do I feed her as he wants to keep her on the same as she looks so wonderful
. He's in love with her (so he says) and I could tell he sounded totally taken with her, so boy am I a very happy camper right now.
No real reason for this post, just wanted to say, when you start to become concerned about mankind, you are quickly brought back into touch that most people are good! Most people have kind hearts and when they share this with you, it repairs any damage.
