First of all, so sorry for the delay in an update. My computer left home Wednesday night to go be prepped for a horse show (I was show manager at a show this weekend), so I had no way to update you guys.
Court was a waste of time, my ex DROPPED all the allegations...they must have been REALLY important @@...again @@. NOTHING changed drastically except longer Wednesday visits. The fact that I'll have to sell ANOTHER horse to pay the rest of my legal fees is the tough part.
I sold my Sporthorse mare and Friesian cross filly a few weeks ago. That was really hard. They were my dream horses and everything I had ever wanted, but their sale will resolve the majority of my debt remaining from the first THREE times my ex took me to court.
Ramble is improving, very, very slowly. We're still not SURE he'll make it, but we're still hopeful. The vet says he's starting to show a little interest in his surroundings and at least LOOK a little perkier, not just standing in the corner all of the time...poor baby.
The show update is on another post. It was GREAT!!!!
We had a beautiful, healthy frame overo shetland filly Thursday night and also lost a little miniature appaloosa filly (the one I've been waiting for 6 years for that mare to have).
...and my mustang mare Chica, that I have had 21 years, died this weekend while I was gone. Steve found her yesterday. Her health was declining, I just wasn't ready to lose her. She has been on medication for heaves and it wasn't having much effect. It was that "one more thing" factor, on top of everything else.
All in all, I'm ready for the good things to outweigh the bad already!
A belly bean update too- I've gone from "barely a belly" a few weeks ago to a basketball belly! The bean is doing GREAT and is starting to give gentle, but fiesty reminders that he/she is there thankyouverymuch~LOL I have a level 2 US on the 24th because my silly AFP test came back abnormal, which we expected due to my...ummm...advanced maternal age <g>
:
Another update!~Steve is meeting today with the man we lease the 35 acres (all hayfield that borders our yard on 2 sides) from. We are BUYING IT!!!!! I'm so excited. This means we do have the entire original farm now and all of the land surrounding the house!!! We have been SO worried that someone would buy it for chicken houses.....ICK! I can now look out my kitchen window at OUR hayfield, blowing in the hilltop wind and know it's ours..yipppeee!!!!!
