This evening was a hard one, we sold Goldie to a new home. We enjoyed Andrea and Angela and meeting both of them. We know Goldie will be loved and well cared for. But the whole time both Kalli and I had that lump in our throat. We both knew we were doing the right thing yet, it was hard to know tomorrow Goldie would not be out there to greet us in the morning. Sweet Goldie who loves the babies and watched over them at all times.
Blondie walked the fence line wondering where her friend was, and where was she going? How could we tell Blondie that her favorite friend and the one she looked up to, was going to a new home? Hell, who was going to make US feel better about it? Who was going to explain to Goldie that this was the best for her? She would be ridden and lots of daily attention…. How can you explain that to her, when inside you are asking yourself is this the right thing to do? Goldie has never shown a mean bone in her body, done everything we have asked of her, so why ?
Andrea and Angela loved Rhett, and are so excited about the fact that Goldie is in foal to him. All they kept saying was how beautiful he was and how hard the wait will be…….but I promised them that seeing that special foal will be worth the wait.
