HEARTBREAK ALERT
I just made a tough decision. I decided to find a new home for my sorrel mare Luna. In reality, I am not going to be able to afford the care that she will now need because of her navicular. I hate thinking that she will no longer be mine, and it makes me very sad. I love her, but finding her a home where her navicular will be taken care of properly is the best thing for her.
A man called me yesterday about my horse. He decided to take her and is sending his two sons down today to pick her up. I almost told him that I had changed my mind, but I knew it would have been a very selfish thing to do, and wouldn't be in the best interest of my horse.
Yesterday, I talked to the girls about Luna going to a new home. They were very sad about it, as was I, but I told them if we are going to have animals we had to be able to take care of them, and mommy wasn't going to be able to care for Luna. Cassidy cried a lot and Jessie seemed so-so with it. I am sure that will change today though. I told them it was okay to be sad about it, but we are doing what is best for Luna by sending her to a new home.
Today I am going to take the girls outside so they can ride Luna one more time before the men get here to pick her up. I am also going to take pictures and cut some hair from underneath her tail. I am really going to miss my mare. I broke her 19 years ago when she was only year and a half. While I was breaking her, my dad and I fell in love with her. My dad bought her and gave her to me as a surprise. I'm not going to go on about the story, I know I have posted it before. It's heart wrenching to think about at the moment.
We will still have Mack and Oreo. I am going to start working with Oreo very soon since the weather is warming up. Mack is 10-years-old and a little on the lazy side. He isn't like Luna at all, but he should make a very good horse for the girls. I am hoping since Oreo is younger he will have a little get-up-and-go to him. We will have to see how it works out.
I will post more this evening after Luna is gone.
