Last weekend I finally had the confidence to ride Hemie by myself without trainer supervision. I had a barn friend around and wore all my safety gear, just in case. But it went perfectly. I spent the rides focusing on my position and just having fun, and Hemie felt relaxed and happy. It was really great to be on his back again.
Then on Monday, he left for a trial period. This was the opportunity that was too timely to ignore - a potential new partnership with a more advanced rider better equipped to handle his challenges and help him reach his fullest potential. I've only gotten a brief update that so far its going well. There isn't a specific time-frame for the trial, so we'll just see how it pans out. I look forward to hearing more back soon.
Loading him on the trailer was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I guess I wasn't really ready for it. I miss him so much. Part of me wants it to work out with the new rider, but part of me just wants him back.
That's a tough decision either way ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI hope you can find something that works so you are both happy1
ReplyDeletei can't imagine how torn you must be feeling! wishing you luck that the situation turns out in a way that makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteThat's tough. :( Hopefully it works out for the both of you, no matter what direction it goes in.
ReplyDelete:( So hard. Try to relax and know that whatever is meant to be will be!
ReplyDeleteYou're a very strong person. That's how I felt about sending Lexi off. Hardest thing I've ever done.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to watch them go, but it's even harder to hang on when it's not right. Best of luck to you both.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how hard that must be, and I hope that you are happy with whatever decision you end up making.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you both find a happy place - whether that's together or not :)
ReplyDeleteHugs lady. Wishing you and Hermie all the best, whatever that may be :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck and that everything falls into place and that the right decision feels right, whatever it is
ReplyDeleteAw ... so sorry, Sarah. Letting one of our horses go is so difficult. I've done it a handful times myself. and it never gets easy. Hugs to you. :0/
ReplyDeleteIt's so incredibly brave of you to take this big step, but you will be a better rider/horse-owner because of it. He will succeed and so will you. Good luck with whatever the roads ahead has in store for you, I know it's going to be great!
ReplyDeleteSending them off is so tough! I hope everything works out for you, however that may be.
ReplyDeleteKeeping sending positive thoughts your way, I hope it all works out for the best, whatever that may be!
ReplyDeleteWow that has to be so incredibly difficult. I believe it will work out for the best no matter what the final decision ends up being. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound difficult but you are taking good steps forward.
