Well its been a long time since I've been on here. It seems like life has been very busy lately. Unfortunately I had to say good bye to a couple of my dear friends. I recently had to sell both Ace and Tops. The price of gas, feed, and hay has hit me hard on top of some other finacially issuses. I so hated to part with my two boys. Tops was my first horse and I always promised him a good life and a good home. I recently realized that I was being greedy and unfair by keeping him. I had picked him up from the vets farm and brought him to the track. My farrier "T" worked on his feet and had him moving more sound. Then I hit my money problems. And I began to notice that poor Tops spent most of his days in a stall with little attention beyond the necessary care. I found out my cousin was looking for a good riding horse for his son. The perfect new home for Tops was discovered. He is back to relaxing his days away in a pasturse of grass with a young child to love on him and shower him with attention. Plus I can go see him anytime I want and if he is ever sold, I get first chance at him. Ace also had to be sold due to lameness issuses. He was doing really well and "T" helped him a bunch for awhile then Ace came up dead lame. Upon xraying his bad foot we discovered the old wing fracture was still present and he had a lot of other issuses. "T" informed me that he could get him 90% sound as a riding horse but it would take a lot of time and money. So I found Ace a home with someone that can put the money into him to fix him. It absolutely broke my heart to sell Ace again but I had no other choice after all I can't afford to keep them all. I still have my pride and joy though. Scout's a big help in pulling through this hard time. He's the only one that will never be for sale. Hopefully someday I will be able to own horses that don't have to earn their keep but until that day arrives I guess I gotta do the best I can for myself and my horses well being. Until next time keep one leg on each side
