Until recently I had a horse on loan and the arrangement went sour. Basically the owner is scared of the horse, doesn't want to/know how to look after it. I had the horse for about 3-4 years and brought it on, looked after it properly and did some great dressage with it. There was talk of me buying it and I really did make a bond with the horse we had such a good partnership.
Anyway that was about a month ago. I was going to look at my first horse today, but got out of the drive and started banging on to my friend about how I could try to convince the owner of the loan horse to sell it to me at which point my friend pointed out that I just wasn't ready for another horse and I admited that I spent yesterday evening crying because I missed her and know that she is being treated horribly. At this point I just turned round and went home.
I have to get my timing right but I do think that I need one more go at asking the owner to sell the horse to me, of which there is a chance it could happen failing this, at least I would get a bit of closure.
Just wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation its all a bit emotional and I'm worried that if I was to get a new horse that I wouldn't be able to make a bond with it or if anything went wrong I would resent it.
