A few years ago I sold my "heart horse" who was the horse I really learned to ride on. I had a couple horses before her, but they either werent sound to ride, or one was totally unpredictable, would flip when you tried to mount, kick when you brushed it, etc. This horse was one who reinstilled my confidence and I really learned to ride with her, and enjoy horses. I had her during my teenage years when I went through a lot of very bad things In life, and she was sort of my "safe heaven". When I sold her It was a crappy time in life, I had a recent back and shoulder injury, and was also pregnant and supposed to be on bedrest. Because I couldnt ride and didnt want the horse just standing around, I sold her to what I considered to be fairly good friends at the barn I boarded her at. They had been begging me to buy her for a year or two before that, but she was a horse I truely said I would never sell. Finally I sold her due to what was going on in life, but I had a pretty strict contract that stated very clearly that I had first right of refusal and if they ever didnt want or couldnt keep the horse, It came back to me. It was very clear, no room for confusion. The horse is a 23 year old mare, but I would have gladly paid every cent for her that they paid me for her. Reality is, she isnt worth that at her current age, but I would have paid it, as this horse is priceless to me.
Fast forward today on facebook I asked how she was doing as I hadnt talked to them much lately, Ive been busy and they had too, and I found out they either sold or gave her away to one of the neighbors around june. Im pretty upset, because along with the contract, I have told them many times over the past three years that I would love to have her back and if shes ever available, I did still want her.
Im thinking im just screwed, but is there anything that can be done?
