Well it looks like Dolly may have found a new home, and it has brought with it those doubting feelings about if I am doing the right thing.
I bought Dolly (14.2 Cob) as a 1 year old, for a few reasons
So I have looked to re home Dolly so she can be the main focus rather than a companion, she is 3 now and really ready to start her education. She deserves it, a person of her own.
I do feel sad about her going and really want to cement in my mind that I am doing the right thing by her and me.
My options are
I could shoot myself in the foot as although Minnie got well, she is looking really old and could be pts before the winter if the worse came to the worse, then Sam would be by himself and he cant be, would I have buy something again etc etc
I was looking to move to livery with a school etc so if the worse happened to Minnie, it could be what I have to do.
I think I know what I am going to do - but what would you do?
I bought Dolly (14.2 Cob) as a 1 year old, for a few reasons
- Company for Sam (as Minnie was poorly and may have needed to be pts)
- Project for me
- Something to possibly ride when older/big enough

My options are
- Let her go to her new home - with a lovely girl who I can see riding her and really loving her
- Send her to be broken myself and then turn her away for the winter and try and find a rider for her next year (she is too small for me)
- Not break her or do anything till next year
