In the past six months, I've been asked (or have seen where someone needs help) to rehome a total of nine horses. And that's without putting out any feelers. Nine old warriors are looking for new homes. I think all but two fit into our criteria of being over 20 years old. Unfortunately we aren't able to take any one. I'm afraid of where those nine horses will or have ended up. Two are secure at the moment in their current locations but the others, are possibly being sent to an auction. It breaks my heart that we cant' open our doors to more old warriors.
I know we need to have all our paperwork lined up but there's no time at the end of the day. So I'm feeling stressed and helpless. There's so much more I SHOULD be doing, but there's only so much this mind and body can do.
I think Rabbit and I are starting to connect more. Hopefully she can become my go to mare, my comfort mare so on days like today, I can simply go in search of her and give her a great big hug and breath in her horsey smell and have her mane tickle my face. And then maybe I can get some peace from a heart and mind that knows we should be doing more.
