Well it looks like Clyde is here to stay. I can't get anyone from Frankfort or owensvile to return my calls or emails. This is supposed to be a rescue and I was supposed to be taking him on trial, however, no one will talk to me so I can return him.
I tried to do a good thing, give a homeless horse a home.All I wanted was a horse I could trust, what I got was a 30 year old horse that reared up with me on his back and ran off with my husband twice. I was told this horse was a very calm easy going horse not true at all. Now they do not want to take him back, sticking me with another horse I can not ride and another mouth to feed. I am so sad because everytime I mention getting a horse I can actually ride my husband says we alread have too many. Not one of which I can ride. Iv added three in the last year that were susposed to be rideable, calm and easy going horses, two of which were from rescues, one I even road all over a fairgrounds but when her tranklizer wore off she became very high strung and reared up with me and also tried to run away with me. So going thru the rescues was wrong and buying from a private seller was wrong also.
So now here I sit on these pretty days with nothing trained enough or trustworthy enough to ride. It makes me very sad, because everytime I bring up the subject of finding a horse I can ride, it causes a fight between my husband and me. He either doesnt understand what it means to me to ride or he doesn't care. His answer is to break what I have or to get rid of them altogher. I didn't mention the fact that I had a hip replacement 2 years ago, twice and that I have 30,000.00 invested in this hip. I can not really afford to replace it again but the worst is the bed rest and healing time involved, not to mention the pain. It is worth taking a well thought through risk but when you know the deck is already stacked against you it just isn't smart to get on a green or untrained horse. What I am looking for is a husband, kids horse, a babysitter that is not likely to dump me on purpose. I know when you are working with horses theres always a chance of getting hurt, however, if you know anything about horses you know that you are alot safer on some than others. I am willing to risk it with a babysitter type horse but I am not stupid enough to try to train a green broke or worse yet a spoiled horse to trail ride.
So thats the way it stands for me in the horse world these days. I am praying for a breakthrough with all this because I do have nore horses than I can definetly use and more than I can comfortably afford when we go into winter next year. It's a good thing I believe in Jesus or Id be more upset than I am. Wish me luck on my search for the right horse for me and finding good homes for the ones I no longer can use!!
