I am horseless... :(

For the first time in fifteen years, I don't have horses on my farm. It makes me sad. My two lovely ladies left for their new home yesterday, and settled in nicely at their new digs. There is an evil little Shitland pony there, and my girls wanted to kick his brains in. They didn't care much for his antics. However, they settled in and ignored him as best they could.
I really can't believe that this roller coaster ride of horse ownership is over. Well, it's really not over, the girls still belong to me, they are out on a free lease, but my barn is empty. This leaves an empty space in my heart too.

I have had horses in my life for most of my years, and some wonderful ones that have left an empty space in my heart. My Woody, who was the love of my life, irreplaceable, and a once in a lifetime horse. He was my teacher, my soulmate, my love.

The girls that left recently were the daughter's horse and my horse. They were fabulous little girls. Honest, trustworthy, bombproof kind of horses. It was a pretty common sight to see them both out on the lawn, loose and roaming around, munching grass and hanging out.


We will miss them.... :(
