Have you done that? Sold a horse and TOTALLY regretted it???
I've done it once....and never really forgiven myself for letting him go. Though I know he is happy and healthy and doing MUCH more than he would have here, he was a special little guy.
Well I had a guy buy my 2 babies from this year. Never quibbled on price, so I made him a deal that he could take my yearling (that I told was NOT for sale) as company for the first one, since the second one wouldn't be ready to go for a few months. The few months are up and Daven is weaned and ready to go to his new home. I called them up, left a message and got a phone call yesterday. They wanted to know if I would sell the yearling to them too. I said she wasn't for sale....they said they'd take the colt AND they'd like to buy the yearling...I'm always in a crunch money wise at this time of year....Christmas, all my memberships to renew....plus all the registry work that needs to be done (both dogs & horses this year).....so I thought about it for a bit while we were talking about dogs (I tried to sell him a puppy instead of the yearling
)...told him a price and he didn't hesitate....
I'm dropping Daven off there today (as long as the weather stays decent), so I'll be able to see Stella again...and I go by their place frequently.....I just hope 2 or 3 years down the road that I don't regret selling her....it was bugging me all last night....
