It's natural for you to cry

:

But I am so happy for you that you found a good home :bgrin

 

[jleonard]

Marty, if I ever buy another mini, I think I'll buy from you! That little girl went off with every thing she could possibly need, no having to track down papers and info, isn't that nice!!! And all clean and pretty to boot!

:

I'm sorry you had to sell her. I know how hard it is to sell one you are close to. I'll be thinking of you and the prancers. It sounds like Ebbie is going to a great new home tho, you made a good choice!

:new_shocked: YOU LET HER GO? WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. LOL. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE MMMM 9 OF THE 10 FOALS THAT WE HAVE KEPT OVER 6 YEARS. WE HAVE SOLD ONE. BUT WE ARE ALLOWING 2 OF OUR GIRLS TO GO BACK TO WISCONSIN FROM WHO WE BOUGHT THEM FROM. IT IS ABOUT TO KILL ME, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOVE TO BUY THEM BACK AND THAT IS WHERE THE ONE IS THAT WE SOLD ALSO. SO MOM WILL REJOIN HER SON, I WONDER IF THEY WILL REMEMBER EACH OTHER. WE STAY IN CONTACT ALWAYS ASKING ABOUT HIM AND IT HAS BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS. IT IS NICE TO HAVE A RAPOR WITH WHOEVER IS BUYING THEM. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS. I LOVE ALL OF OURS AS IF ALL OF THEM ARE KIDS. THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE PERSONALITIES. ALL OF OURS LOVE BUTT SCRATCHES AND KISSES. OH IT IS SO HARD. I HAVE TO ADMIT FOR SOME REASON MINIS ARE SO EASY TO LOVE AND BECOME PART OF THE FAMILY.

:

OH MY HEART IS HURTING WITH YOURS MARTY, KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE FEELING.

Marty--It is so sad when one of your babies leaves to begin a new adventure. Please believe that she will have the best home here that we can give her. Susan

Oh Marty, I'm so sorry your sad. It's very hard to let them go. After my accident I gave my 2 yr old gelding away. I was the only owner he'd had, was there when he was born. Played soccer with him when he was a youngster.

But he wasn't broke to ride, he wasn't happy here and I knew it. So I gave a valuable horse to a trainer. I can visit him any time, I went the first week and he remembered me. The second time he didn't answer his call, he forgot me. Broke my heart, but he's happy and will reach his full potential.

I still cry and think of him often. But I don't visit anymore, it's too hard on me.

On the other side, my Snip and I are still in touch with her first Mommy. Linda (Roxys Run) and I a good friends and I shared all the show results with her. Hope that happens for you, it makes it easier I think.

Maybe a vacation in Florida this summer?

Oh, Marty. I know how you feel. When we sold my daughter's Western Pleasure mare to a man from Canada, we followed beside the trailer till he reached the county line. Then, Joanna in her car and I in mine, pulled over, sat for a while , then turned around and drove back home with our eyes filled with tears. We watched that silver trailer till it disappeared over the hill and we knew we'd never see her again. She has a good life and is well loved though.

I niticed how nicely you had Ebbie fixed up. Some people don't do that. I think that is so important.

Marty, Now that I've stopped crying, I hope your feeling better, I only live about 1/2 hour from Brooksville, if you want to visit Ebbie, I have a guest room waiting for you, Kathy

I know i'm coming in a little late here but I too just went through separation anxiety with an amazing little guy...he used to steal my heart at the oddest moments but that's what I just loved about him! I am horrible at showing my concerns so when he left I gave him hugs and I'm sure I looked very awkward stumbling all over the trailer and fiddling with my pockets but deep down, I already missed him!

It's helping me a LOT that his new owner is keeping in contact, letting me know how he is adjusting and how good things are going...that really eases my mind and lets me know he went to a wonderful, loving home and I am so glad that he did =)

Heartbreak is a natural occurance when you're attached to someone....your little Ebbie was treated like a royal queen and she'll remember you forever, don't ever think she's going to forget about you no matter where she goes or how happy she is in a new home, every time you think of her she's probably thinking of you too =)

 

[keeperofthehorses]

Oh, Marty {{HUG}}, I think no matter how the good the home, I'd be crying too. How wonderful that she's going to a great home, and to an LB'er no less! She looks just beautiful in her traveling attire; what a great thing to do for her and her new humom.

 

[RobinRTrueJoy]

Hi Marty, selling is a very hard thing. You can be commended on hand picking just the right home for Ebbie. I bet her new owners will be thrilled, she went to them looking so beautiful. I tried to call you to see how you are, but you were probably in the barn. Hope you are feeling better.
