He was magnificent!<br />We had no option to sell, due to a family crisis, and I have regretted that decision for the last 8 years. There is nothing I wouldnt do to have him back. He was regal, honest and trustworthy. Although, huge! He could make you feel like the best rider in the world.<br />Sadly, I found out that the "honest" person I sold him to, wasnt so. "Oscar", is no longer with us now, but he will never be forgotten.<br />In closing, I do understand all the worries and concerns hose owners have when faced with this decision.<br />I also made a serious decision, that I would never sell another horse of mine, without thoroughly checking the buyer out first.<br /><br />Great blog!cheyenne joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957462106844413179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-50218195635021442010-04-21T21:09:29.739-07:002010-04-21T21:09:29.739-07:00*sigh*, a happy ending, of which there are all far...*sigh*, a happy ending, of which there are all far too few. Makes me feel terribly guilty for a couple of horses I lost touch with... and fear the worst for them. i keep putting off writing about them... but I must face the music and do it one day.<br /> - <a href="http://theequestrianvagabond.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Equestrian Vagabond</a>The Equestrian Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600011873327347121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-48536782273965701632010-04-21T07:13:59.599-07:002010-04-21T07:13:59.599-07:00@ Melissa- I have sold several horses over the cou...@ Melissa- I have sold several horses over the course of my life, not all turn out bad so have faith! I am sure you will find a great home for your girl. I will work on getting photos this weekend.<br /><br />@ Mel- something special indeed! She arrived last night and settled right in! She'll need time to adjust however.<br /><br /><br />@ AareneX- Thanks!<br /><br />@ Karen- I will work on pics this weekend. Gald your story worked out. Grace is about 18 years old, although she doesn't look it. She could probably do a limited distance with some time conditioning but she'll likely only be ridden lightly, trails, or Horseback Archery.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-81254521307892927472010-04-20T18:53:53.949-07:002010-04-20T18:53:53.949-07:00Thats really cool, I would love to see pictures of...Thats really cool, I would love to see pictures of Grace!<br />Karen W.<br />PS I sold a mare and got her back (just a year later) but thats the one I'm doing LDs on now- I would never part with her again, I now realize she's one of the best horses I've ever had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-79119759352363250842010-04-20T17:13:39.075-07:002010-04-20T17:13:39.075-07:00Applause!
