Just sold my horse..Bittersweet moment...
I just sold my horses of 5 years...granted I got $10,000 for him...BUt still It hurts he was the one took me all over to horse shows. Taught me how to gallop on the racetrack,(I'm now a professional jockey) It's hard too say good bye.
I just hope this little girl who gets him loves him as much as I did.
Here he is. His name is Chile Rojo, But I just call him Chile, RoRo, or Spicy Pepper Boy.
Boy, I'm going to miss him.
I know it hurts to lose an animal by selling it, giving it to shelter, or they pass away. Sometimes, we don't realize what we have until it's gone, that realization can hit like a ton of bricks. However, you won't see him deteriate and won't have to see him at his worst, just that he's out there somewhere somewhere and you'll eventually reunite with him. I'm pretty sure the little girl who got him, will love him as much as you do. From the pictures he has those kind eyes and he's gorgeous. Heck, maybe you could ask the new owner if you can drop by and see him every now and again! Luckily because you sold him, you (assumption) know how to contact the new owner. I know what this is like and it's not easy to deal with. Just keep moving foward the best you can. I hope my advice helps you in some way- I worry it's terrible advice. The advice shown here was given to me by someone when I went through this same bitter-sweet feeling.
I'm so sorry you had to sell your horse.
He's beautiful!
I hope you feel comfort soon.
I don't know if this helps, but music helps me heal when I'm sad from losing friends or family.
My favorite songs to help me feel better is "Let It Be" by the Beatles, along with "Believer", "Rise Up", and "Thunder" from Imagine Dragons. Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" also is a very comforting song.
Another thing that might help, is maybe getting some sort of memory item for comfort.
This might be a harder one, but maybe see if you can collect some of his hair, (if you haven't) and make a bracelet out of it.
Or maybe get chestnut Breyer horse model that has similar to exact markings as him, or one you could paint like him.
I hope this helps.
Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! It sounds very difficult for you. It's never easy for sure. As others have already said, I really hope you find comfort and peace. I also hope that whoever gets your horse treats him as well as you did. He's looks like a beauty! It looks like you took great care of him. I also love the name(s) you have given him. I especially appreciate Spicy pepper boy. It's very cute.
I'm sorry! I hope you can see him from time to time! (This might not be the best suggestion but you could listen to Together from Afar, the credits song from httyd 3.)
No problem!
I know how it feels letting go of an animal friend, so I wanted to help in anyway I could on here.
Sry about that. If it helps, I know how it feels to lose an animal. You're not alone!
Yeah I too know how it feels to lose an animal, lost three in a five year period, but I'm sorry for you and liek the others, hope you find comfort.
Thank you guys so much for for the support and kind words!
