I've always had good intentions but by now I am over whelmed. I bought Poppy thinking I had time to ride 2. Then I bought Ketel thinking I would sell Tank. Now here I am with 3 that need to be worked, plus the retired one, and the mini. Something has to give. I HAVE to downsize.
I got home late from work last night. It was too dark to ride so I lunged Tank and he was wild. Then the rain started so his lunge was cut short. Everyone got a short grooming session before dinner and bed. Fortunately the rain stopped so they could be turned out.
So here I am trying to come up with a plan cuz this ol' gal needs a break.
I feel ya! I'm in the same boat and god is it tough.
ReplyDeleteSure is!
Delete:( wish I knew of a way to help but you are so far away
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice of you :)
DeleteYou're one of the blogs that I read and think "I have no idea how she does it!" Good luck downsizing, I know you'll feel better once you do.
ReplyDeleteI have always been a bit of a work horse. I don't know how to do nothing! But life changes and we get more work responsibilities and we get older and I just don't have the energy I used to.
DeleteYou definitely have a lot going on (at least a lot more than myself) but I know that once you can get back to a happier level of busy, it will be better. Crossing my fingers that the path becomes clear to you soon!
ReplyDeleteI only have one horse and I board, but I have a dog, a cat, and chickens at home. Some days it is all I can do just to keep up with all of that + house work. I can't imagine having three horses at home.
ReplyDeleteActually I have 5. Even worse.
DeleteDo you have enough room to possibly board someone elses horse, someone who could help with the chores?
ReplyDeleteI want to down size versus take on more but thank you for the suggestion. It's a liability I don't want to take on.
