Update on Steph
So, I posted the other day that I was looking for a home for Steph and I found one, much quicker than I had expected. She's going to a lovely lady called Maree, who when I spoke to over the phone had a 3 hour long chat with about Steph and her experience. When she went to see Steph, they instantly bonded and Steph even liked her children.
Jo, my agistment owner, who is extremely cautious and reserved about offering recommendations rang me up straight away to tell me how perfect Maree was for Steph. This isn't something Jo takes lightly, so for her to give such a glowing recommendation really gives me a lot of confidence that she's going to the right home.
While I'm really happy that I've found the right home for my precious girl, I'm devistated to be saying goodbye and even more devistated that I can't actually say goodbye in person. Steph has been such a sweet and lovely girl and I'm going to miss her terribly. She's my baby... We've all put in so much effort to bring her back from the bring of a terrible existance and while I'm so proud of the beautiful horse she is, parting with her... I just don't know how else to express it. I'm happy she's going to be so loved and devistated at the same time.
Thank you to everyone who's offered their support and kindness to me during this extremely hard process. It went much faster than I expected.
This is the first time I have been truly horseless for a very long time... For someone who grew up on a TB breeding farm and who has been constantly surrounded by them for most of my life, this is truly and awful feeling. I know, she's going to the right home, I know that I've made the right choice and that she's going to live out the rest of her days being loved and pampered and that makes me happy. But I'm sure you can all also empathise with how hard this really is.
