It's been 3 years since my best boy, Cooper, was PTS. My life has changed since, my children are crazily into ponies, and I love my spirit, but my riding has suffered so much since. I trusted my boy with my life, and find it so hard to trust another horse. I feel so guilty, as Spirit is a noble horse, that trusts me completely, and I should be able to trust him too. I trust him to do everything other than sitting on him, and It's all in my head. The only thing he cant do, is be Cooper. Think I need to seriously sort myself out, but I still miss Cooper, thought it would be easier by now. x

Some horses you have such a special bond with it can never be replaced, if we are lucky we get the chance at least once in a life time.

No matter how many we have our special 14.2 will always be first in my memories. She always gave us 100% and bought everyone who rode her home safely.

Hope you can learn to enjoy your new horse.
 
Thank you, Adopter, I really want to learn to trust him. Cooper was my "one in a million" horse, he's forever in my heart. I do think spirit will be a close second, I hope I get it together with him soon. xx
 
Massive (((((((((hugs)))))))))) To you. It's been 2 and a half years since I lost Lucy and it still hurts like hell. I don't think the pain will ever go away :( I love both my boys very very much but they will never replace my Lucy and I've never expected them to. They are special in there own way.
You will get there with Spirit From what I've heard and pics i've seen on FB He's a special horse to. :) Let him help you lurn to trust again. I bet Copper would be sad to think you weren't enjoying riding anymore. When you do ride out I bet he's there with you, by your side keeping Spirit in line and making shore Spirit looks after his special friend. :)
I'm shore Lucy still looks after me. Some odd things have happened since she went and i'm shore it's her looking after me. :D

RIP Cooper, you will never be forgotton. xx
 
So sorry, but also why dont you just get on once, you might surprise yourself even if it is in the stable with someone holding him, dont rush it, but enjoy it.
 
Its three years ago that I lost my big ginger boy Jack and I feel exactly the same as you !
I love my little horse I have now but I never stop missing Jack, I was fearless riding him I knew him inside out, I feel like part of me died when I lost him!
