Sorry about losing your horse. Are you going to get another horse or two?
****************************************************************
Thank you - no, I think not. That was probably why it was so hard - last horse, etc. But I don’t need to be riding anymore and hubby doesn’t.
Maybe a few cows or some goats to eat down the pasture.
Goats do a great job but they require some babysitting. If you get Mohairs you can get a double dip.
I have a neighbor who leases a pasture across my east fence. He and his wife don’t ride anymore but keep 3 horses and 2 mules in the pasture. I get to talk to them, pet them and give them treats but don’t have to snowmobile the hay to them in the winter. Perfect setup!
Losing animals we love is hard.
When I turned 55, I divested ownership of my 5 horses. Gave my grand daughter her pick, gave my niece the stallion, and sold the others. That was easier than losing them to illness or accident.
That was the age I had promised hubby that I would quit riding. I had osteopenia and hubby didn’t like to ride anyway.
