Back in 2005, we bought a young, unbroken mare for my daughter. 3/4 tb, she proved slightly more challenging than mine had a year ago, but she grew into the sweetest and quirkiest little mare who would jump anything. Fast forward to 2009, she was a victim of my marriage ending and was sold on and lost touch. After a year or two, I started putting her picture all over the internet to try to find her and in 2017 I had a message from her new owner. We have kept in touch since and I always said if she had any problems and was unable to keep her, I’d have her back. On Thursday I received that message. Thankfully as I’ve now moved off livery and have a wonderful landlord who has said yes to her, she will be joining us just after Easter. So she’s coming home to her best pals. All three oldies together. I just need to sort the field out for them.

This reminds me of this video. so touching.
 
After a fraught week with a broken down horse box that was fortunately empty, she’s coming home Friday afternoon.
We had a lot of transport offers, but omg the prices. They were way out of both our leagues. Even hiring one for two days, plus fuel and overnight accommodation plus two days off work (I’m self employed) was going to run into £100’s and £100’s.
Note to self to buy a box the next time I plan a long journey, it’ll be cheaper, especially with three. 🤣
So yesterday the boys went out for their final ride together, or at least until I can trust the little mare not to pop the five bar gate like she used to, and by tea time I had one that had a rapidly filling leg, from knee down and the other realising that at 30 he can’t expect his body to roll up hill and then get up straight afterwards. 🤦‍♀️
