Thank fuck I did ! Jeez he was so useless after a lovely reigniting romance in lockdown. Ex BF did nothing and I mean nothing after he moved in I said on more than one occasion do I look like a 1950s housewife ? Anyway he’s gone and the horse has come welcome Bear 🐻

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery

Thank you 🥰

BumbleFlump · 23/07/2021 06:56

Love it 😊

Parsley1234 · 23/07/2021 07:51

God I love you vipers so much I put it up as a bit tongue in cheek but truth be told it’s been a shit year with everything that has happened and Bear has been a shining light of niceness. A bit outing but how I got him to leave was I thought he had a stroke and I called an ambulance they took him in for observation he was fine but he went to family to stay thank god !!!! Ladies he had not had a stroke he had smoked weed with my sons friend and had a whitey ???? What even is that ??? Genius he lost his 11th job and I pretended to care but really I was ecstatic ShockGrin

I love this!

Mermaidwaves · 23/07/2021 08:50

Oh he's a handsome boy! Much nicer than any man! Grin I want to get a doggie as my next companion, way more faithful and loyal than a human one.

Els1e · 23/07/2021 09:07

Such a wise decision OP. I love this story and the other wedding horses. Money well spent. And Bear is beautiful 😍

sanityisamyth · 23/07/2021 10:32

Good plan!! I finally sold my house in January (after 5 years!) and bought my son a pony!! The house was a total nightmare - chosen by now-ExH without my knowledge or consent. I should have seen the red flags then!! Was so liberating getting rid of it and something so lovely has come out of it!!

MotionActivatedDog · 23/07/2021 10:33

What a stunner! Excellent decision OP! More women should have horses instead of men.

Sarahlou63 · 23/07/2021 10:35

He's gorgeous but please take that mouth strap off!

FastFood · 23/07/2021 10:36

Realistically, no BF would ever be as good looking as Bear, so well done!

Bollindger · 23/07/2021 10:38

Bet he had a shock, then you replaced him with a good ride....
Well done.

Cloudninenine · 23/07/2021 10:40

No way your ex could ever be as handsome or loyal as that beauty. Congratulations, he’s absolutely lovely!

Emmylou22 · 23/07/2021 10:41

I really feel like 'I dumped my BF and bought a horse' could be a best-selling self-help book with a film adaptation.

This is the greatest thing I've read all week! Go you!!

Well done. Lovely chappie (or chappess)

AtillatheHun · 23/07/2021 10:50

Oh Parsley! Bear is magnificent and you are so funny about the stroke- I walked out of a well paid / awesome benefits job after seeing my boss lose control of one side of his face, and dribble, while he ranted about how my (wonderful) previous boss was awful - cocaine induce paranoia / revelation of insecurities = instant loss of respect. Worked out well for me in the end though! Wishing you and Bear the same

Elbels · 23/07/2021 10:58

@Honeyroar

My horse replaced my ex too! We were meant to get married but it all had to be cancelled because he was having an affair, so I spent all the money I’d saved for the wedding on a horse! She’s still with me sixteen years later. And I’m married to someone who is a million times better for me than my ex. He has a horse now too. (also bought with wedding money - we decided to only have an evening reception and bought the other horse with the money we would’ve spent on the wedding breakfast!)

Here are our two “wedding” horses.

I love this so much!

I'm really looking forward to getting married but equally if we decided to rapidly scale down and buy a horse each instead I wouldn't be mad!

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 23/07/2021 11:04

Wonderful choice! What a handsome chap Bear is 😍 What are you planning on doing with him?

This is my 20yo baby, T. I recently bought a Dales filly and can’t wait for her to arrive so I can get cracking with her 😆

chellingham · 23/07/2021 13:58

That is one beautiful palamino. Jealous.

Orchidflower1 · 23/07/2021 14:00

He is so handsome. You should recruit the ex to muck him out op- now that would be karma!
