One thing you could consider is selling the stock with the farm. Some Amish folks up your way did just that 9 farms in tact horses cows chickens everything. That way you can take just who you wish to keep and everyone else won't have to readjust.
 
What about leasing them and then maybe getting them back when you are settled? Or is keeping horses not an option?
 
When I left my fully loaded 22 stall barn in Florida and arrived with only my 3 horses and 1 pony, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders. For once in my life I was able to ride my own horses again and just enjoy them. No more colts to ride, no more horses to fix because someone else had ruined him, no more people waiting for their lessons, no more phone ringing non stop, no more having to stay on the road every weekend and show. No more pressure. Never will I get overhorsed again or involved in having to work for the public like that.

I came up here and at first I was so lonely, having been used to being surrounded by people daily, but then I woke up and just "listened to the quiet" and then I found peace. I tend to my own and that's it.

Are you going to be able to get a place on a couple of acres so you can still have some of your animals?

Here's my suggestions: I'd do more pictures and make them larger. You have a nice grulla mare but she's eating and can't see her neck or face well and then some are dark too and very small. Also, you do need to price tag. There are no prices, not even a hint of what is reasonable and in the ball park.

Lois, I need another mare like I need a hole in the head, but if she were R reg, I'd buy that mare in your avatar in a heartbeat. Don't know what it is about her, but I have really liked her from the first time I saw her picture. Maybe it's the description of her as "a free spirit".

I really hope you find good homes for them. I'm sure you've already put notices in your local feed and tack stores and notified any saddle club, and 4-H clubs around.

You are terribly brave for making this move. I admire you for changing your whole everyday lifestyle and wish you the best of luck in your new adventure.
 
Lois, you have such a wonderful outlook on your future. I'm not sure I could be as stoic as you. God bless you!

i'm sure it was hard letting go of Jordie, but you are so right about a good home making it easier. He sounded like such a wonderful boy and an enrichment to you life while you had the pleasure of having him. And he was one lucky horse as are the rest of the herd to have been lucky enough to have lived with you.

I agree about the auction or trader, so if you don't find a good home for her by the time you need to, send her here. She'd be a pleasure just to look at every day. I think she's beautiful!
