Well, I'm going through this right now. I've gotten my self hurt again.
The stallion won, I lost big time. This time I quit.
A dear lady (who will remain nameless unless she wishes to come forward) has insisted on taking several of my kids. A total of 4.
1/2 my herd.
She is buying our lovely Rose, taking my old gal Keesha and her colt just to have a winter vacation, Casey is still for sale but he'll be located in Va, and the bad boy himself will learn some manners and not hurt me any more.
I couldn't possibly give up my Thera, Treasure and Miss Halley. They stay. I'll have time to re-arrange the sleep routine. I have a huge 15x32 runin that they'll (my 3 remaining) use for nite time, I've got wire stretched across the outside to protect them from bears and coyotes so I will not have to clean stalls, jus the runin. Going to be very different and a heartbreaker.
I love all my kids, even my bad boy. Thank God, there are angels on earth. This lady is one for sure.
I told Keesha she was going for a holiday in a nice warmer not so yukky winter time place and hope she'll understand and know she'll come home in the spring.
Sigh, so many are having hard times this year. Hopefully I can recover my body's soundness to some degree and still have some minis to love in the end.
Thank you good fairy person.
