The End

Well, this is my last post for this blog. As of 10:30 this morning there is no Lily and Banjo, or Banjo and Lily. I never thought i would actually sell him, but now that i have, i'm glad that he is going to a better home.

The lady came yesterday and RODE him. First time in over a year now, and he was pretty good. He didn't buck, but thought about it. The best part was seeing him, gallop and kick around after i let him go in the paddock again, he must of enjoyed the ride. That just makes me feel bad because all i did was lock him up. I will miss him, but i know that he will get the attention he deserves.

The hardest part is deciding whether or not it is worth me getting another horse, i really don't see the point, as this the second horse i've had that i sold on. I really, really, really want to ride and own a horse, but i'm just too gutless to ride, so i figure there isn't much point. I'll keep thinking about it though.

So goodbye for now, hopefully not forever.

Lily.

  1. Hi Lily. So sorry I've been off the scene for a while and haven't seen this post. How is Banjo going, do you see him much. I've been where you are (and it's not a nice feeling). It's really a case of "desensitising" ourselves to our fears. I can't believe I hop on Eddie now and don't even get butterflies. I used to be a shaking mess when I hopped on. The tenants in our house at Monto are moving out in May, so you never know we may be back at Monto (some day). I'd love to get together with you and do something horsey - in the future. Keep your chin up, concentrate on your studies and rest assured that "horsey feeling" will arise again in the future. Cheers for now and have fun.

  2. Hey Ann, it has been awhile. I haven't seen him at all, i heard he is out in the paddock at the moment, getting fat again. I wish i was like you, i just seem to ruin horses! I still want to ride so badly, but i don't really have a way that i'm comfortable with. A friend has offered that i could go to her place and ride, but we've sort of drifted away as friends and i'm not comfortable around her. So for now i guess i have to just settle for finding a way to tell Dad that i actually still want to ride, and i'm not going to muck around this time.

    Anyway how are you going?

    Lily.
