She was a MESS, one that most people would never be able to cope with OR spend the time to fix. I think you have literally saved her life! Therefore, let there be no guilt. All of your mares have come into your life by divine providence: you needed them, they needed you, and you have provided them with the best of care, attention, training and love. I think all is exactly as it should be. :-)RiderWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679157278313699794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-62356415404014634992013-07-14T18:26:11.295-07:002013-07-14T18:26:11.295-07:00Keeping all personalities and histories intact, co...Keeping all personalities and histories intact, could it BE any better?

You are and there should be no guilt for that. Life happens and while it may in the same direction, you sometimes find yourself going down a different path. You are a talented horse woman and I continue to be amazed by your insights and gift with them. Okay, so I am a little jealous too! :) WishIHadAHorseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658225870536527537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-8654427243811111042013-07-14T02:01:04.947-07:002013-07-14T02:01:04.947-07:00Haha I KNEW you'd end up keeping her; when you...Haha I KNEW you'd end up keeping her; when you first introduced her I remember thinking you'd be hard pushed to let her go once you'd worked with and gotten to know her. It is funny how things turn out and I understand completely how it still feels awkward for you, but so long as the new turning-out is positive for all concerned then all's well! I do miss Immy's sweet face though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
