So I had the coolest last ride on Jack. We cantered, stole a little bit of a slow gallop and just had some fun. No pressure. God I'm going to miss him...I think I took him for granted.
I've promised myself I won't dwell on it, what's done is done.
I went to see Janet. Unfortunately I didn't ride. Matilda was with us and she was scared of Janet's dogs (who were fenced but were very vocal, although not aggressive), so I decided to just look around so Matilda wouldn't have to sit in the car for an hour or more.
Precious was a sweetie, but I do believe she's far too small. She might even be a little smaller than Jack in height, but she's fine boned where as Jack was very stocky. I want to be sure what I get will look suited to me in size, not just be able to carry me.
Janet has some sweet horses, although I found myself a little unsettled about the fact she had everyone turned out in nylon halters and foals dragged lead ropes on their halters...
Anyhow, I'm not feeling so great, so that's pretty much all I have to write for now. I think some good sleep will do me well...
My heart is aching for you. I know you are making the right decision where Jack is concerned, but it is still hard to say goodbye to a good friend.
ReplyDeleteDon't quite know what's going on with the Jack situation, but at least if the little girl is leasing him off property, it does make more room in the barn. But still....
Maybe those nylon halters have breakaway crownpieces?? I hope so.
Nope, they didn't. And many were way too small for the horses and ponies in question...I didn't say anything, because she's really the sort of person that is certain she knows the way to do things and doesn't really want input from others about she things she thinks she's certain of. *Sigh*
