My Horse Is Coming Home !!
 
Bay ~ my horse lives down the hill, a minute drive from my home. Anyway, recently a good friend of mine and her hubby finalized their divorce (amen!)...So, the land owner (being a typical man) sided with my gf's ex and is kicking Bay out of the pasture so he can bring his horses into the pasture. Yadda yadda yadda the story could go on forever about this. But I wont bore you with all those silly stories.

I called a friend and he is to come over this week and draw out the details on building us a shelter for Bay and fencing on our own yard to house Bay. It's really great to now be having Bay on my own property. My only concerns is that the area the horse will be in isn't very large. His footing will pretty much destroy the grass there now. if I add a couple chickens, a goat, and park a broken down car there, I will have all the neccesities of being labeled as white trash. LOL!!!! Oh well....Atleast I wont have to ever again have to deal with all the "horse - people" issues that I've been dealing w/ the past couple of years.

You'll enjoy having him close by to keep an eye on. Sorry that things didn't work out to keep him in the bigger pasture. You'll just have to ride him more often to exercise his legs!!!

I'm so excited that Bay will be coming home soon! :) I bet you'll just love having him closer, even if your grass doesn't look perfect. Even with chickens and a broken down car, I doubt you'd ever be labeled "trash" of any kind. You are far too special! :)

I agree Sheryl and just think Bay is close enough to give all those extra hugs.

Oh trust me, we are not adding chickens, a goat, or a broken down car. hahahaha!!!

I'm happy that Bay is coming home. You will be able to check on him whenever so much easier. You haven't shared any pictures recently of him either...come on girl, we want pictures.

Also, is there any way in the future you can purchase some land near yours to give him more room?

Gina 12-11-2007 04:11 PM

Wonderful news! Happy for you and Bay... What a wonderful Christmas present.

A year or so ago we asked this land owner about buying some land behind us and this rental house. Well, hubby and I felt he was asking too much for the house for us to turn get it into good working condition so we can in turn find renters for it.

So we marked off the land we wanted to buy, appx 5 acres and he isn't ready to sell it yet. **frustrated** So, this is why we are just building a horse area on our own property. Which trust me isn't much at all, LOL. It will be a tight squeeze for everything.

But in the end it will all be good. I can't wait.

Well, I'm sure it will be just fine. Who knows...maybe this landowner will end up selling to you soon.

I hope so Janet. I am sure he has his reasons. LOL - Don't we all for everything we do or don't do. :D

Sheryl, I hope this works out well for you. At least now you'll be able to look out your window and see your Bay. I bet he'll enjoy being closer to you as well.
