awh i know how you feel i took a arabian horse nia out on loan and when she went back i cryed and she tryed to buck her woy out of the trailer :'( i hope you get her back xxxx
@logemmjames thanks, it's been over 2 years now, close to 3, and I have heard from her new owners, and they still have her, but she was too difficult so now she just sits in the paddock all day..
its amazing though because my new horses looks exactly like her.. its scary..
My pony keeps injuring herself too. She's so fiesty, and keeps getting into fights in the field, but we can't split her off on her own, because she tries to jump the fences and things.
I totally understand why you did what you did, because it's terrible to see them in pain, then you can't ride and stuff...
This video made me cry too mutch I know your pain. Sniffle Sniffle. i let my horse Sontechella down. She was aboused and afraid now i know she is in good hands with the Abagail family, Sontechella is now in good hands. Was your horse put down or given away?
its a long story but i had her on lease from my riding school and i ended up giving her back because she continuley hurt herself.. the riding school still has her.. but i think they might be selling her soon.. shes just not right there.. she needs to be out in big paddocks with heaps of other horses to push her around and used as a trail horse.. thats what she needs to be.. i know a lot of people just say it but i mean it when i say this.. i know your pain :'(
I know a part of what you feel. I took my share pony to a pony club rally last christmas,she was very scared of everything and i didnt take the time to listen. She shyed at a hedge and went lame.Now she cant be jumped or ridden much.I will never forgive myself.Shes so misreble :(
One things for sure,its not your fault,you did your best.And you succeded.She trusts you.And thats the most important thing.I can see she wasnt just any old horse.She was beutiful,and kind. You can see it in her eyes.x
yeah.. only people who know the pain understand how much it really does hurt.. sometimes it is for the best though.. i still ride her for the school and i have fallen off her twice.. out of 3 rides.. thankyou so much.. comments that come from the heart are the best comments of all xx
yeah.. everyone always says "shes just a horse" but she wasnt just a horse.. she was rafeki.. my first ever horse.. she changed my life.. they dont understand how special she was and how much it cuts if people talk about her like she doesnt matter :'(
that's so true. If you loved a horse so much that you make a video such as this, that horse is not "just a horse" anyone who hasn't gone through this has NO RIGHT to say that stuff. Actually...NO ONE has that right.
it must of been so hard to make that decsion, i had to do it once as well, except mine turned out for the best, but it didn make it any easier.
the horse i leased was dangerous for me, especially being my first pony, but i missed him for so long despite the fact i had scars from where he bit me and stuff.
thanks so much.. yeah it hurt.. it still hurts.. having to see her each week makes it even tougher.. sometimes i wish they would just sell her so i dont have to go through the pain of seeing her each week... just as i think the wounds are healing.. i see her & they are cut open again.. im the only one who will ride her now.. everyone is freaked coz she reared me off.. but im going to stik with her.. and im hoping to buy her if they put her up for sale.. need to find the money though.. thanks xxx
I owned a horse named Simon and I was too young and couldn't handle him. Now he is gone. I did not do well in school. I needed another friend to help me I leased a horse, Ty. I loved that horse and helped me get over all my grief, my grades went up. I loved him so much, but I was paying a lot of money for a horse that spooked and I was too selfish to stick with it. I made the same mistake as you. I stopped leasing him. I let him go when no one else was there, and I am so sorry for that.
i know how it feels.. i know a lot of people say that but that actually is the truth.. i know how much it hurts to give a leased horse back and the pain you go through after.. thinking what you could have done with them.. yeah it hurts.. noone who hasnt been through the pain could understand :'(
i know what your going through, its just like me and Shamrock, but i never got to say Good-bye to him, he meant so much to me now his gone.. and the worst part of all is i dont even know if he is still alive,
at least you know she is safe and healthy.
all i can say is make the most of the time you have with her, because you two are soo good for each other and i really done think she is blaming you for anything, you have done so much for her.
sometimes it is harder having them there.. having to seem them every time you go down.. everytime i see her it re-opens the wounds that were only just starting to heal.. watching her being handled and ridden by other people is unbearable and when she walks up to me and follows me in the paddock.. its heartbreaking.. i feel so bad leaving her and now she is turning to me to look after her and care for her when i cant :'(
This movie was so beautiful courtney, i loved it and i almost cried :(
I dont no wat i would have do in ur case but i think u no deep down that it was the rite thing to do even if u didnt no it and its great that she still trusts u
we did.. somehow in this crazy world i found someone who understood me and i understood her.. she doesnt rear anymore.. chelsea was the one who rode her after i gave her back and she came out saying "god courtney you have changed this horse"
for some reason we just got on straight away.. from the very start.. first time i rode her i fell in love with her :(
thanks.. my friend rode her before me.. i couldnt stand watching her with someone else.. i came walking around the corner and saw them together and rafeki looked at me and neighed to me and all i could do was turn around and walk away.. i couldnt watch the lesson or even watch her brushing her.. it was torture :'(
dude...i am crying...that is so sad..I feel for you, when Zeb leaves i might die....i see him w/ the person leasing hi right now and i also choke up. u have to get her back !! hay would u mind subing to me
i had to do the same thing and i feel so bad about it but i was forced by my parents to give up a skinny horse that had an internal infection on her leg just after just 2 days!
i felt so bad but my grandpa was so angry cause he had bought her for me and the people had lied and druged her to make her look better.
so after two days of owning her as i came home from school she was being loaded into a float and i had to say goodbye:(
aww i know the pain.. but i think the pain is ten times worse when you still have to see her.. seeing rafeki each week still brings me to tears.. every time i see her the wounds that were just starting to heal are ripped back open again..
awh i know how you feel i took a arabian horse nia out on loan and when she went back i cryed and she tryed to buck her woy out of the trailer :'( i hope you get her back xxxx

this is a really touching video courtney :(
you look like you both got along so well!
i rode rafeki when she first came to wallington before you leased her,
debbie gave me a free lesson on her out in the cross country because she was bucking and rearing.
i loved her though :) she was gorgeous.

missingdreamer 3 years ago
really? chelsea said that?
you must have made such a difference then,
because i was supposed to ride scotty that day & chelsea got too nervous of rafeki. which is why i got to ride her.
do you still ride rafeki for lessons?
Bhukshine 3 years ago
yeah..
she doesnt pigroot or rear anymore..
yeah.. debbie lets me ride her each saturday and i might ride her for my free lessons on the camp.. xx
