It has been a month since I found a home for Blaze. I was lucky to have found someone who could handle her forwsince she wasn’t for beginners. Blaze went to a wonderful woman in Bethany, CT who fell in love with her the instant she met her. It was bitter sweet.
I thought by keeping myself busy with work and other hobbies that it would fill the horse-less void. I was wrong. I find myself constantly looking on Facebook pages selling and leasing horses. I constantly save these ads in hopes of possibly getting another one. I know deep down it isn’t the right time for me. I still have a car payment and student loans. I also told myself that if I’m going to do this right the next time that I need the truck!
I purposely leave my boots, half chaps and helmet in my car in hopes of riding a horse. You just never know if you’ll get that opportunity! Last week with warmer temperatures, my riding gear caused that barn aroma to fill my car. I just sat, took a deep breath and inhaled those familiar scents. This past Saturday I was in need of horse time that I went to my friends father’s farm just to pet the horses. I even visited my friends horse on Sunday just to feed him carrots and have him lick my hands. I didn’t think I would be having such horse withdrawals but it’s happening.
I have been asking around to ride a horse or even take a lesson. I hopefully will be able to ride tomorrow and possibly this coming weekend. I also have been toying with the idea of finding a horse to lease. This would be cheaper that owning one and might fill the horse-less void I am feeling.
