Damn Nicole...

I am so sorry. That's awful news!

[Cajungator26]

Geesh... the more I think about it, the more disheartened I become. It just seems like nothing in this world is cherished anymore.

I am so sorry. You have got to be devastated.

I can hook you up with my trainer who is heading to Long Island on Tuesday. I can call her after work and get the address of where the barn is that she is going to be working at. It is somewhere on Long Island.

Kinda sucks that this barn that has been in business for so long is closing. Seems like that is happening everywhere.

That's so sweet of you, but I don't have a car, so it becomes very difficult to go anywhere outside of the 5 boroughs. Ah well. I'm going six, count 'em, six times to the stable this week to try to use up my remaining tickets and to say goodbye. There are a lot of people crying there today (I stopped in on my way to work).

I thought she may be too far from you.


Take a ride in Central Park! And take a lot of carrots and apples with you. What are they doing with the horses?

..uh....







...oh never mind.

Genuine Risk,
I'm saddened to hear your news.
I hope you find a place close by.
Have you ever tried polo? A Long Island club winters their ponies up here in the Catskills. They have some nice ones, and sure could use some excercise.

The guy who owns the place claims he will be taking the ones who are still useful to the place he owns in Maryland and will retire the ones who are too old to have a lot of time left, but one of my friends who rides there too is really skeptical of this. I will hope for the best- many of those horses really deserve to be retired and spend the rest of their lives outdoors. If I could afford it, I'd take one (though three of us are discussing trying to chip in together and adopt one of the old guys).

Me, I'm skeptical as to whether I'll see my outstanding balance back after the place closes. They claim everyone will get what they're owed, but we'll see.

I hope you guys can chip in and get one of the old guys. Do you know of a retirement place for it? I so would love it right now if I had a farm. Problem is I would take on too many. I know I would. I always say if I could I would have fifty horses. I will say a few prayers that these guys find wonderful homes.

How far ahead do you have to pay for lessons? We only pay for a month at a time.
