Am I crazy?

I just started working at my old barn where I used to ride. There’s this horse out there that I’ve loved since I started. I thought that I would be ok, seeing her again and all, but I wasn’t. Just seeing Kitty made me so happy. When I found out that she wasn’t used in lessons and only on trails sometimes, I wanted to take her. I mean, I’ve always wanted to buy her, but now, I REALLY want to. My parents think I’m joking, and so does my sister. Only one person really believes that I’ll buy her. Right now, I just want to hear that I’m not crazy and that I am making a good choice…

Wait two weeks, sometimes sentiment clouds us and we rush and do something that we only regret later.

I have to get the money, but you’re probably right…

Besides if you’re working there, you see her often enough and the stable pays the expenses.

Do you have space for a horse? Would she be happier in your care?

I know, and I feel really selfish for this, but…she has a bad leg, and they still use her, and if I took her, I would just let her be.

What will you do when you move out? You couldn’t take her with you, could you?

by the time you could afford her, you’d be 16 already.

Yeah, it would be nice if you gave her somewhere she’d be loved.

I saw her on saturday, which was really the first time I had a momwnt to go see her, and when she saw me, she nickered and another worker said that she’s never seen that horse do that to a person, so yeah…

I’m going to a horse based collage and taking my other horse with, so I’d probably take her, or just stay in state.

Oh…

Trying to think of some reason not to…

Perhaps to spend money on her would stop you from affording other things, like a car or something…

but that’s a weak reason not to.

Full steam ahead I say.

I agree with Commander - full steam ahead and MAKE IT WORK! Maybe you could work out some kind of arrangement with the person who owns the stable where the horse lives now so that your extra effort could be applied to Her not having to be worked. (That was a poorly written sentence but hopefully you got what I meant.) That way, even though she wouldn’t be fully in your care yet, you would be helping her right from the start. Any chance that could be a possibility?

They already don’t really use her, but, I’ve always really wanted her, and I don’t want to see her being used when she shouldn’t be. But I see what you’re saying kibble.

Way to go, Kanabi!!! Very cool problem solving - hope you make more $ than you imagined you could, get rid of stuff you don’t need AND that you get to bring that wonderful horse home with you soon.

There’s not much bigger thing to admire than when someone is making their dreams come true… you are awesome.
