True enough. But I'd rather get to it before it freezes so I don't have to pry it off the ground with a shovel. Hard work for this old back.
On the up side, a man called me back and the mare is sold, he'll pick her up this weekend. She's a sweetheart and I'll miss her, but she's bored and needs more of a job than I ask of her.
So Journey will be alone till we find a pokey little pony that fits us.
I hate that, but Roxy is being wasted. They're really nice people and we talked in depth when they came to see her. She will have a good home. He's planning fun things for her. Hunting, reenactments, overnight camping trips.
F-I-L has been really, really sick and finding another horse was low on the priorities list. He's getting a bit better so we can start looking in earnest now.
