i have never felt so sick and nervous in my entire life-which wasnt helped when they turned up with their trailer :shock:

:cry: :cry: :cry:
we hadnt even discussed anything of the sort due to the fact anything could happen-it really upset me and made me feel quite angry and completely wonder if im doing the right thing-not helped by the vet saying how lovely she is etc temp wise and how she will be hard to replace

but dad had a word with them and said no way is she going today...i mean i havent "prepared" myself for it at all.

anyway they checked her over legs, heart etc
then trotted up..and flexioned,
then rode her on the flat, then took her for a gallop, then checked HR and pusle etc etc.
then let her cool down and checked her right over again...did her eyes etc etc.
then re trotted up and flexion tested
then lunged
then checked over again
then blood tested
tehn given her vaccs as they are soon due!!

vet was lovely v v good!

she passed:) basically it was just her splint and a sarcoid which they said leave alone.

i am happy but it hasnt hit me til now and i can feel a really big cry coming on any minute:(

she is going tommorrow and i really hope the new owner does mean it when she says i can come and see her whenever-even offered riding her:)

just thought i would let you know.

All i hope is i can now find something nice and special that will fill the gap and wont make me regret selling...although i must keep reminding myself of the reasons why!
 
Poor you, but try to be firm with yourself that you are doing the right thing and you wouldn't let her go to a bad home. You're bound to be upset but think of all the excitement that lies ahead...finding the right horse to enjoy and have fun with!
You'll love your new horse as much as you love Millie.

Big hugs for you, it'll be very sad

But fab news she has sold quickly to a great home. Here's to finding a nice new horse!!
 
thanks very much, im so happy she sold to the first person to see her and they are local despite so much interest, they did ask to come down on price and i felt a bit hard on them saying no, but tbh they have seen her 4 times now shes been an angel every time, they are the 1st to see her, she has nothing seriously werong with her, and i think she was a reasonable price.

i knew i would feel bad, but right now i feel numb:(
 
thanks, i hope i do:)

mind you with that said we had an utter nightmare when i sol my pony again to a "lovely" lady who then came back to us in 2 days and said she was completely unsuaitable blah blah and caused a lot of upset:(
 
big HUGS.
it sounds like a lovely home though, and they won't push her the way you are tempted to. if you have ambition to do N upwards, she was going to struggle, so she's better going to someone who will be totally happy at her level.
now you've just got to find a super future eventer...
 
thanks, i would never have pushed her but at the same time im not content with doing badly at the level i am at..no matter what work i put in.
If i could keep her and have another i would have done without a seconds thought:(
 
Fran, you know I PM'd you about this, I felt exactly the same when I sold my boy and I cried for weeks after he went

I'll only say it one more time, I hope you are doing the right thing, it is hard replacing something that has been as good as she has.

I can totally sympathise with you.

Well done Millie for passing the vet

Good luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you.xxx
 
Wonderful that she passed and is off to a new home.

We took a lorry with us when Thumper was vetted. Saw absolutely no point in making another journey. And after the vetting he was loaded up and we took him home.......
 
yes but they are only 15miles down the road...and we hadnt discussed when they would want to take her AT ALL, nothing of the sort.....they had been so nice and understanding that i was really going to miss her etc etc and then they did that and completely made me feel like i was doing the wrong thing.

wizardofoz-deep dfown i know im doing the right thing-i cried so much last night, but then its nothing to how crap i used to feel after putting so much effort into something and not getting anywhere
 
It's obviously a very painful sale for you. We hadn't discussed taking the horse home either - I just figured that as it was for sale, vetting agreed etc. that they would be more than happy for me to pay my money and take the horse there and then.

Perhaps if the sale wasn't so emotional for you, you would feel a little differently.

I can't imagine what it must be like to say goodbye to a much loved horse (which yours obviously is). And I think that whether they had taken the horse then or in a few days, you'd still feel the same. Raw, upset, and wondering if you'd done the right thing.

Hugs (((((( )))))
 
yeh i do understand, we hadnt talked money or anything lol!! just as we didnt want to look too far ahead-i dont hold it against them i was just completely shocked when they turned up!!

the vet was really suprised as well and actually said to them they shouldnt move her without insurance anyway.
We ended up taking her there yesterday:)
