No more horse:/ it sucks but, having nothing to look foward to after school. only reason my grades were up is so i could maintain my horse! And now i have nothing. Dont know what to do. :/ Help!

I am so sorry. I wanted a horse for years. I got my first one when I was in my 30's. I know this doesn't make it any better for you. I hope you can spend some time with horses and keep your grades up. I pray in the future you will get the opportunity to have a horse in your life. They are wonderful and so worth having in your life. Don't give up on that desire even when your heart is breaking.

I was asked to, and did, remove the other post on this topic. It had members lining up on the side of Jodi or Allison's parents, which is really inappropriate.
I don't think anyone 100's to thousands of miles away really knows what went on. I hope all involved can work things out.

I also think this is enough said on this mater. We need to move on.

By focusing on what you want and letting the rest go. By understanding that when something happens that you (or anyone else) label as horrible or awful or tragic, you are sending out great rockets of desire for better things and that the Universe (or God or Source or Great Spirit - whatever you believe) is answering your prayers. Hold on to that and know that many other people are sending you good thoughts and adding to the energy behind what you want.

Cry when you feel like. Rage when you feel like it. But don't get stuck there. Move the energy and as soon as you can, focus on what you want (whatever that is) and how it will feel to have it.

We're rooting for you.

Sweetie, timing sometimes takes over and you just can't control what happens. You can only control how you deal with it. Pick yourself up, find someplace where you can be around horses...maybe you can find somewhere you can either volunteer or even get a part time job working with or around horses. Even cleaning stalls will get you around them.
There was a time in my life after I moved away from home when I did not have my own horses, I simply could not afford them. I got a part time job cleaning stables on Saturday afternoon at a big stable......I got paid beans but I got to bond with some amazing horses who needed me as much as I needed them. I was fast at cleaning out the stalls and had time to to groom and pet my favorites....of course I got permission from their owners. It was another 20years before I was in a position to care for my own horses, they are a huge responsibility and maybe timing just wasn't right for you to have your own horse right now.

For me, it was summers on the farm years ago when he plowed with the horse and then, I saddled the poor mare up and rode her. But, I loved every moment I spent with her. She was beautiful.

Every chance I got I went to a stables to rent a horse or ride a friend's horse. I, even, rode English by accident once and that horse ran back to the barn because she was barn sour and as she arrived she danced around and kicked in the side of the stable owner Audi...

I did not do it...she was train to run back to the barn.

But, you will allow this to pass. You will remember it and your first time with this special horse. You need to respect your parents even in hard times and realize maybe they just could not afford this for you. They might have felt upset that someone else was giving you something they could not give you.

Still what Ms. Becky says is true. You can possibly find a barn that they would allow you to clean stalls for lessons and there you can be around some horses.

Later in life, when the timing is right, you can have a horse and you will be so please and thank God for the gift of the horse. Some people get a horse early and don't really understand the value. But, you do. So your next horse is going to be so loved because you are willing to love it so much.

It will be worth the wait.

I'm so sorry. I don't know exactly how old you are, but I know how it is to be young and in love with a horse. Heck, I'm still young and in love with a horse. Haha.

Now I'm nearing the end of my teenage years though, and life has thrown many unexpected turns at me, including LOTS of sacrifices of horses and horsey things. At this point in my life, I hoped to be pursuing my equestrian education and making a name for myself in the horse world, but instead I'm lucky if I ride once or twice a week. I still have horses, but I have had to downsize and quite possibly will continue to do so.

It's has been so hard because I have felt like my dream is just falling away, but I have also realized how full and beautiful life is. I don't know what your faith is, but as a Christian I feel God has really shown me that even outside of horses there is SO much I am blessed with, and I have so many opportunities to bless others. 2 years ago, when my horse life began it's decline, I didn't understand at all why it was happening.

Now though, my life is going in other directions that it never could have gone if I had been able to immerse myself in horses the way I wanted to. And you know what? I'm HAPPY! The next couple years hold some very exciting things for me that I wouldn't have had otherwise, and I can't wait to watch it all play out. This doesn't mean I'm never going to chase my dream, that will come! But now I'm able to see that my dream was right, but the TIMING was wrong.

Don't think that because of this one thing that your dream is over. Instead; embrace the other beautiful things in life, live in the NOW, and if it's right, the opportunity will come again.

I will be praying for you in this difficult time, and I know you don't know me, but feel free to pm or something if you need to talk!
