Last week I was kindly asked to find a new place for my horses. It came to me as a chock. At the time I was home sick in Covid and the anxiety about this skyrocketed. They never gave me a timeline but in my mind they had to be gone within a week. That was not the case! So last week I started putting ads out on social media about this. Desperately trying to find something around where I work or where I lived. Just a pasture where they could be. I’m not picky. They can be with other animals. As long as the fence is okay I’m good!

For the last year I have prayed to God to give me an opening to be able to have the horses closer to me. They are now one hour away from my house and almost two hours from where I work. So I can’t go and see them every day. They are just in a pasture of 90 acres, living a horse life. But that’s not what I want. I want to have them close to me, see them every day, take care of them, feed them, ride them, love them. There are boarding places but it is expensive and then there are so many opinions and rules and God knows what. I didn’t want to complicate it.

I actually found a place in Kaufman and it seemed pretty okay. A decent price. But it was something, just a weird feeling about it. Then on Sunday night I have a message on Facebook from a lady. Instantly I knew this may be something really amazing. Beyond amazing. I don’t know what it was in her messages that just told me that what I have been praying for may actually come true. But was this too good to be true? I have to live tight for a little bit to make this work, re-budget my finances but I can do this, I thought.
I went out and met the family today. And it was as amazing as I thought. 17 acres fenced in with a pond and a barn with 5 stalls (I only need 3 or 4), 15 minutes from my house. I am so willing to pay what they ask! It is just amazing! There is some work to do, move some stuff that are in the stalls right now and get shavings etc, but it maybe takes an hour.

I was crying on my way home tonight. Happy tears. I will be able to see my horses every day, work with them, break them, love on them! God heard my prayers all along, he just waited for the right time! And I can just imagine what this will do to my mental health! Horses are healing animals!

Hopefully we will be able to move them at the end of next week. It may be a little tricky to get them in the trailer but as long as we don’t stress, it’ll be fine! I am so excited and happy right now, there are no words! Such a huge load is off my shoulders!
