Please tell me it's not just me.

I really miss ALL my old horses but I've got good reasons for selling them on, outgrown, horse not wanting to do the job I do, etc

I've only had 3 proper horses, that were mine to keep. Yes I've brought and sold a few, but these 3 stole my heart and I do miss them all so much.

I also find I compare others to them ESP when looking to buy, or riding a new horse.

Just sat here looking at pictures of myold boy a thread here started it, the one on 'manners'. As I've never handled a horse in which it's manners were so good!

So I've had my little cry and flicked though the pictures.

Sorry of being mushy, just wish I could afford to keep them all, but I can't :(
 
It is always sad when we pass them on, or they go to heaven.

I often wonder what became of my old ponies who I had on loan after they went back. Non will be alive now, but that doesn't stop me wanting to know and hope they had a few more happy years with another family or back with their owner.
 
The night before I went to see my old horse who I managed to trace, I was an emotional wreck. I can't remember the last time I cried like that.

Funnily enough, I was ok after I had seen her...
 
me all the time i have a stack of pics of my firstboy as a foal on my bedside table that make me weep like a baby!!!
most special though is my YO got a drawing done of me and roscoe who has to be pts. Its the most gorgeous drawing of us at his first and only comp i cried so much when she gave it to me and it has the original next to it but makes me cry all the time!!
 
Oh I am so like that, I can barely look through old photos of previous horses without going into breakdown. There is a little coloured shetland mare I sold on a few years ago,she was a terrified mess when I first got her and I spent 2 years bringing her round to being a happy girl. I know she went on to be a county champion, I would love to go and visit her but even the thought of that makes me well up. AND....I'm so soppy.....even looking at old pics horses I never owned, the ones in ancient books and magazines make me sad. I always hope they had happy llives..
 
Ok this is gushy, and I don't know what to believe as I do sit on the fence with spirits, but went with my mum to a medium meeting. And the medium came to me saying I was very unusual in that I've got a horse as my gardian angel. She went on to describe the horse exactly the same as my old sec d, Abbott.

Now there are a few funny things the first being that that day I had a horrid fall, the horse I was ridding reared up and almost came on top of me, I tried to bale and mis judged it, I looked up from the ground to see a saddle coming towards me, (his back) however he didn't land, he somehow managed to right himself, leaving me with broken ribs.

Ok you may think, but the strange thing was that medium said that I had a fall, that day, described it to me saying that Abbott was with me and and he righted the other horse.

Not only that but years ago I had a dream in which Abbott had coliced and died. This too the medium told me in the same detail. And my little boy since he could talk has always mention the 'dark horse' they never met, nor was Abbott talked about at that time.

But all very strange, and very comforting too.

So to remember him by I've called my new horse Costello. As Abbott and Costello were a comedian act, years ago.
