Going Going.....

We are selling Jessie.

This is the first horse that we are selling

that has tugged at my heart-strings.

I feel bad for the lass.

Under all that hair is really sweet loving mare.

Why, you ask, are we selling her?

I ask myself that.

Except we have too many.

Not enough time.

and although

she is by far one of the better ones

she NEEDS someone.

I think maybe only animal people get this.

Sometimes you have an animal

any animal

who can love and trust anyone.

AKA Belle our annoying but sweet dog...

Jessie doesn't love and trust everyone

you have to earn it.

It is not difficult.

You have to be nice

and gentle

and love her.

I think this is why my heart-strings are pulled.

She loves me.

I have brushed her.

and talked gently to her

and got her to trust me

and

now 

i am 

selling her.

We could use her for the kids.

she really is that quiet

but 

the kids don't trust her.

And in the horse world

trust is a 

BIG

deal.

I am sounding a bit 

"hippy"

but

I am not a cowboy.

Never.

So I am allowed to be a bit 

"hippy"

when it comes to horses.

Anyways

the damage is done.

I posted her tonight.

Now I just cross my fingers

and say my prayers

that someone

AMAZING

scoops her up

takes her home

and rides off into their sunset.
