Long story short, I was always a horse person, my ex always wanted horses and he got one while we were dating. We bought his horse, the palomino, 10 years ago and we broke up 2 years ago. I have been boarding my horse, the black overo, at his house ever since the breakup and borrowing/riding Tank regularly. It has been amicable, but we have had some tiffs because his new girlfriend doesn't like me being around the property 🙄. -- Just so you know, I'm very nice, I used to speak for her university class regularly and still mentor 2 of her students each year because my day job and her class overlap. I did everything to not be in their way when I was there, even peed in my horse trailer so I wouldn't need to go inside... I was more than respectful.

Anyhow! The ex told me he was going to sell his horse next month and I almost had a heart attack, thankfully I asked him if that meant he wasn't willing to sell her to me. Thankfully he said he would prefer to sell her to me, but wasn't sure I could make it work. So now I'm working on getting them moved out and boarded elsewhere. It's just funny how the world works out sometimes. LAST night, I talked to my current boyfriend about how I need to tell the ex I want to buy his horse when he's ready to sell. Then, I found a new friend a couple weeks ago through my jumping spider hobby who works at a boarding facility and she said they had openings. I called the boarding place today and I'm taking the last two openings AND it's SUPER afforadable!!!!! HOW LUCKY AM I!!!! Praise Jesus, Budda, Karma, what-have-you. I feel very thankful and blessed right now.

Officially, my two girls, Tank and Birdie. I regularly borrow Tank and trailer her out for rides. I find random young girls to ride her because she is a beginner friendly horse. Even showed her this past weekend! She's definitely a one in a million horse.

Congrats!! I'm glad things went well! What beautiful horses!

Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad it worked out. It was a miracle. I was wondering if we were going to get into another tiff about it. I still do all the farrier work, vet bills and carry liability insurance on both of them. He could have easily sold her, though, and I couldn't do much about it.

So happy you were able to keep her! Those two are so pretty <3

Thank you so much! I'm so happy too!!!! I move them next weekend. I'm excited for the old chapter to finally end and be totally on my own with my horses :)

Aww so cute, Enjoy them both, You are so lucky to have them both :)

So pleased for you, but also Birdie and Tank. I bet they make great new friends and may be fitter with more riders.
