Selling my horsey sobs

Ranger · June 2008

(don't know if this should go in vent [its not really a vent] feel free to move it if you please) so In one month I will be auctioning the love of my life off, my beautiful Morgan Mare, she is a bit stubborn and tends to buck a lot, but over all she is a good horse in the pen (but all her life she was trained in a pen and never taken on trails) so when I take her out of the pen she kinda spazzes out and well my parents don't trust her and want to get a foal, so we have to get her shots and hodgens test (or whatever the heck its called) and get her registration stuff, and she will be gone and we will get a foal that I can't ride and I will be left horse-less and my heart is breaking, my parents said we might get a quarter horse for me though, but still I love Amy and she's my baby, I'm gonna miss her a lot, I at least get to show her off at the auction (considering I am the only one she will listen to) and thats another reason we are selling her, she only listens to me and my dad and everybody is scared of her and there isn't really anything to be afraid of, she's just spunky(what horse isn't?) I honestly don't know how the heck I will handle looking out my window and not seeing a horse out back though... I'm quite attached to her and my parents don't seem to understand why, they think she is mean, but I know better, she's just spirited and testy, well I have one more month with her *sobs* and my heart is slowly being ripped in half, If you have never had a horse (or an animal you love with all your heart) you prolly don't understand, they make amazing companions and everyday you can brush them and lay on there backs and watch the stars and listen to them crop grass, talk to them when you need to vent, and they are always there, its like taking away your best friend... it hurts...a lot

I know what its like to lose your best friend I lost 2 horses withen a year one got put to sleep and the other we where lessing and got sold out from under us. It can be hard letting go of an animal but sometimes in life we have to. I did and I will tell you I cried for days I still cry at night. So I am sorry you are losing her I just hope she goes to a good home(auctions are the worst place to sell your horse)

Ranger · June 2008

I know I hope she goes to a good home to and she has a few quirks that I know how to handle that lots of people wouldn't and I don't want them getting frustrated with her and hurting her or anything, like she tends to threaten to bite sometimes but never does and somebody might not know that, and you have to put the bridle on just right other wise she won't open her mouth, and she's very clumsy, and I'm worrying the crap out of myself, I love her so much... I have lost cats, rabbits, rats, birds and dogs but they are different, theres something different about horses you know? they're more than pets they are companions... and like I have worked so hard on her, when I first got her she was a stubborn brat, and could care less about human interaction, now she comes running when I whistle, she rests her head on my shoulder, plays with the hose with me, lets me ride her without a qualm, lets me pick up her feet, lets me play with her ears, brush her hair, and she loves me, and I brush her and sing to her and uggg dangit I'm gonna miss her, I've put so much into her, spent so much on her, crap I hate to lose her

I know how you feel; I got my dream horse, a Palomino Quarter Horse, for my birthday when I was around 10 or 11ish. I love Dante like you wouldn't believe, but mom went behind my back and is making a deal with someone to sell him to them. She felt bad that Dante was too green for me to ride, so when I was 12 or 13ish, she bought me a Morgan named Skipper. He's a perfect bomb-proof horse. Perfect height for me too. But she wants to sell him as well. (Makes a lot of sense - lets sell the only horse out of our four that's rideable...) Maybe somehow recommend that someone with experience with somewhat difficult horses buy her. Is there any way you can sell her without doing it at an auction? If you place and ad online or something, you could control who buys her more than at an auction. You could make SURE she goes to a good home. I just hope she doesn't go for meat. ><; Good luck, and I'm sorry.

Ranger · June 2008

yeah it just bugs me, I have gotten so far with her, and when I get a goal set I DO NOT give up, and I have worked my butt off on her then here my mom goes sayin "Amy is dangerous lets sell her and buy a yearling and train it ourselves, and of course it has to be a paint" but oh well so much for my dreams of becoming a horse trainer when my parents won't let me finish with the one I'm workin on, sometimes parents are a lil clueless lol, sorry about your horsies

I'm trying to convince them to sell her online, I live in a small hick town where like everybody has horses and all the people at the auction are down to earth cow pokes, and its a small auction, maybe 50 people, (most of them all know eachother, its held in somebody's barn) she won't go for meat, and she will prolly go to somebody good I hope

Devilabc · June 2008

Oh I'm sorry! I know, parents can be so clueless sometimes can't they? I sort of know the feeling, but with a cat. I've had my cat Prince since the day he was old enough to leave his mom. He was fine in our old house but when we moved he went nuts "marking" and scratching and stuff. So he has to stay in the laundry room. My step dad HATES him, so that makes it worse. Anywho, he got out of the room and scratched up the dining room chairs and we either have to get rid of him or make him an outside cat ( but people on our street drive really fast and we have foxes, racoons and owls) he is one of my best friends, and much more than a pet to me (it may sound tacky, cheesy whatever) he is my fluffy baby boy xD.

Ranger · June 2008

no its not cheesy, I had a cat I was pretty attached to and had to take it to the humane society, I know the feeling, I cried for days, getting rid of your first horse that you have put everything into, it just kinda tares you up, but its life I guess

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

Aw, I'm sorry. I've never had a horse. But I had Auzzy. I was the only one he listened to. The only one he didn't urinate to when they spoke harshly. He trusted me. And he bit me. Ugh. I wish I hadn't said anything. He may have been here today. But it was(and is) like a part of me was ripped away with no remorse. Or something... I'm extremely sorry. ];

Crzy · June 2008

last week I lost one of my horses. I have 10. She was 4 years old and she won over 25000 dollars last year [racing, harness] She was tied in her stall because she fought with another mare we have, and she somehow got the chain stuck around her neck and snapped something. We had to get her put to sleep.... i know how your feeling. R.I.P Ruby
