We could not afford student loans, living and the pony, even with his salary going up. I don't know how you do it out there!<br /><br /><br />STH, totally.

Even my husband that, well you have probably read about how much he 'loves' my horses knows that where ever I go they go. We too are looking at moving in the near future(probably not for a couple years) and have to have these discussions too. Though we know the area we need to move to for his current job. Unlike you though I don't have any strong attachments to this area though I have lived here almost 10 years. Your current facility sounds so wonderful and those aren't easy to come by. Best of luck in this tough time. I have been there, losing the jobs, moving for a new job etc. and it was tough but we made it and it was all for a reason.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472219069662152722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-76439802030131674462013-07-03T09:05:40.858-04:002013-07-03T09:05:40.858-04:00That had to have been hard.

You are so lucky to have your trainer and barn so I don't blame you. Being at a barn where you are not supported or where the facilities are sub par really sucks. Also, having had to sell Jack when we moved to SC was a huge disappointment even though it was the right decision. Connor seems to be your one in a million horse.
