Sat at work, watching heartland and thinking about the future. I made a promise to myself to get my old boy back as soon as I am able, be it a year or ten. I don't mind not riding him, I just want him to spend his last few years in a safe place.

So this is a promise that one day ill get him back.

Sure they will be other horses, and to most my old lad wasn't anything special but he was to me. He was everything and I only realised after talking to my ex. I've beendiagnoised with depression and talking to the ex I got worse when I gave up my lad, he kept me sane, happy and peaceful. I miss him so much and I owe him everything. So one day ill return the favour as soon as I can. A public promise of sorts! :D

Anyone else have that special one that they want back?
 
I hope you get him back, he sounds like he is very well loved by you and would have a lovely retirement living the life of reily.
 
Thanks lauren, I'm in the process. I'm on a full time job now, but I won't be attempting it until I know he can have everything. I miss him but by god I owehim enough that when he's old andcant be ridden that he can have it all.
 
I've got my special one, had her since she was just 2, she's 24 in spring. Had her since I was 10, & I can't imagine I'll ever feel the same about another, she's been there for me through so much, & in the past was the only one I could rely on to be there for me. To an extent I'd love my horse back who I sold when pregnant because I had no choice. But, he has a lovely home for life, been there 8yrs & very happy. So if I won the lottery even I wouldn't make extravagant offers for him, it wouldn't be in his interests to unsettle him, only mine. But if they couldn't keep him, I would love him back.
 
I have mine. Both old and young ones. They're not going anywhere. They may go out on loan or let be ridden by other people to show them the ropes, but they'll always come back to me and never go anywhere else.

But yes. There's 2 I'd have back in a heartbeat that were sold which I'd happily buy in an instant, even if they were unridable.
 
i've still got mine, had her 21 years, we have been through everything together, she is my world, and my rock, no amount of money would ever buy her(not that i would ever sell her), and no other horse could ever come anywhere near to filling her shoes. when the time comes to say goodbye it will well and truly break my heart, but she as been loved all her life. xxx
