Sorry - Re-Horse of a lifetime

[vennessa]

I just wanted to say how sorry i am that so many people have cried over her story - Google- Silver Florin Equine Welfare. I now wish i had put a warning with it.
Thankyou for all the very kind PM's.
I did reply to someone this morning how glad i am the person put the post on. I would not be doing the work i do today if it was not for Florin in her memeory.
On Monday the farrier came who has known me from my first horse. He asked how things are going. I think my face said it all. A winter without heating as we have no money for oil, wondering where our next meal is comeing from, glueing the soles back onto my daughters shoes because all our money goes into the work we do - we get no funding. I said "I wish i had never started this. I can remember being happy with one horse." I truly meant it with all my heart!
I then read the post and it made me think of Florin. It reminded me why i do this job, and yes i do enjoy it when i save a horses life or help someone in need. My daughter rolled off the names of all our rescues that would be dead if we had not taken them in, which are now living happy lives. How could i do anything else?

You make me feel shallow complaining about not having enough money to buy a new pair of jeans, or something "special" for my expected foal.

Well done. Do you need more physical help or is just funding?

It is just funding. We take the 'lunatics' that other places are not able due to insurance issues.
We are not insured for physical help. It does help the horses thow not haveing other people around, helps them settle better.
Didn't mean it as a moan, i tend to speak from the heart.
You shouldn't feel shallow. It was my choice to do this. We all have different lives which make the world interesting and complimenr wach others lives.
Its just a hard few months i think i needed to let out.
