Ummm...YES! I'm looking for a pony at least, and a Clydie sounds perfect for DP (though this horse is supposed to be for DP, sort of ). Only, I need to wait till closer to the moving date cos I can't afford to agist any more for now Can you hold onto them till about October (or whenever the shed is 'weekend-ready')? Cos then I'll move them all on together.
There's plenty of grass for them, I'd be surprised if the TB needs much supp feeding, actually, once we're on the farm.
I need a mare, though, to be the mummy of my Irish Cob cross or Friesian cross!
Lost him About 2 hours ago. Broke his leg and was put down before I could get there. He was warm when I said goodbye to him in the paddock. I think it's just hitting me now, so I won't stay on.
I don't want to talk about it on facebook, either, for those I'm friends with there.
DP has gone down to the farm, as planned (bit later than planned, cos of this) and I've cancelled my plans for the day to process it. Thankfully DS is with my parents in the country, but it won't be easy telling him our new boy is gone.
Stoopid horses. He was just so beautiful and I was going to have a friend mind DD while I rode him on Tuesday.
He was a fabulous beatie. I feel so, so cheated - for me, for DP, for DS, mainly for DP. I had plans, dammit So unfair.
My own horse goes weeks and weeks between visits and then I get up to see them both just about every day this week and he goes down a week to the day of getting him, two weeks to the day of meeting him.
DP has just sent me some pics of our cattle and our big dog sniffing the steers - it's managed to bring a smile to my face. What a welcome to rural life this week has been. Get steers, lose horse It just sucks arse so hard that I can't believe it.
Fire is going now. I've had offers of company but will lay low for the rest of the day. I lost my first horse just over 10 years ago.
DP never even got to ride Handsome. He was sooooooooooo pleased with himself this week when I got him a bridle.
I've just spoken to the guy I got him from and he's going to talk to his wife about giving us our money back. I've told him it would be great if he could and that I understand they have no obligation to do that. He didn't cost that much, but it would help with the cost of the knackery taking him away.
He was so sweet - scared as all get out of chickens in his feed bucket, as I discovered two days ago!
We were supposed to be very, very happy together. It's so unfair
