I got a call today from a woman who is interested in buying Vinney, my yearling 3/4 Icelandic gelding (as of Monday). In talking with her, I was telling her about Vinney's mother, Foxi, and what a perfect trail horse she is, etc. She asked if Foxi was by any chance for sale, and I said she was to the right home. Turns out, this woman is 71 years old and has a 28yo arthritic TWH in her back yard. She is looking for a dependable trail horse that is small, as she is petite and under 100lbs. She is coming out to look at Foxi and Vinney on Monday afternoon, and the ideal would be for her to take them both. And while I am very, very sad at the prospect of actually selling Foxi, this woman sounds like the perfect home for her and someone who would appreciate her. She has a younger roommate and they both ride and drive their horses. Hopefully, it will not be too hot Monday afternoon to take this lady for a short trail ride. Part of me wants her to take Foxi and Vinney, but the other part doesn't. But I have to not be selfish and think of what is best for them, and that is to have a home where they will be ridden and appreciated.
