Anyone got positive stories about giving up horses?
I am almost 60, my horse is 29. I've had horses for 35 years, current one since she was a yearling. I've always managed on my own with no support, paid a mortgage and maintained a home, plus paid for horses on one salary.
I looked after my father for 12 years when he had dementia. I am tired and would like to semi retire in the next five years and do other stuff, like have holidays and a social life.
Not planning to get another horse after the oldie goes, but see so many people saying it's like a part of them is missing.
Really need some positive stories to help me to embrace a different stage in my life!
Am aware that the grief of losing the old one will be immense. Would be good to think there is a life out there after that.
