Jubes - You Could Be Happy

My Louby Lou has been sold. We've had a long and bumpy ride over the last 3 years and now we've reached the end. We first bought her the end of 2006 for my mom when I had my first pony dippy and she was with us for over a year. Then I had major problems with dips and I lost all my confidence and stopped riding -- we sold dippy and put jubilee on full loan to a lady called Helen who she was really happy with. After dippy I would cry every time I was around horses ... except when I tried jubilee. This is a 15.2 moody mare, who naps -- almost putting you under cars sometimes -- mini rears and to get her to go past my mom, any other horse, or by herself I had to beat up!! However she was the one. She rebuilt all my confidence my old pony had taken down brick by brick. We made the full loan a part loan and it was like this for about 6 months. Then the napping got worse. She would do up to 5/6 rears in a row, spin round, lunge forward and start again and it was getting dangerous -- she would have been better but I just didn't have the leg strength to send her on. She is also a fabulous dressage horse- with Helen she was made Bissell woods walk trot champion! But in the school she requires a really strong rider which im not! Without this it would take up to an hour just to get her onto the track!!
Then something occurred which meant she had to be taken off Helen -- things just weren't working out and i found it very hard to see her with other people. In this time break she was put on a weeks trial with another lady, came back and stayed with us for a while. Then I got gyps and with all my attention on her, my mom just didn't have the time to give her the attention she deserved. She got really, really nappy --you couldn't even take her out in company easily anymore!! She got amazingly stubborn on the yard -- refusing to move etc... until I once bit her bum! She moved then.....she also bullied gyps -- she was covered in scabs EVERYWHERE and even when I was there doing parelli in the field with gypsy Jubes would send her off and id have no choice but to let go of the rope. I love Gyps more than anything and I hated to see this happen to her lol! Then we had the option of buying a 2 year old appaloosa x TB who had never had anything done with him -- we had wanted to bring on a baby for so long (we really enjoyed doing it with gyps) and the offer was too good to miss. A very good friend once told me: ' its supposed to be a bond, some fun not a constant fight. If that's all it is why pay all the money and give all the time?' she was right. Jubilee deserved so much more than we could give her -- she needs constant attention, be loved all the time, and get a bond with someone. With this she can be the horse she is deep down. When she was with Helen, she was happy and well -- because she was getting what she deserved and needed. Unfortunately Helen couldn't buy her but we soon found another woman -- Helena. She is a lovely lady, enjoys cross country and hacking with a bit of dressage too -- all of which jubilee loves and Is brilliant at. She is also strong, confident and has the time to put in. Helena bought her today. I am going to miss her so much, but I know she'll be happy forever, loved forever and that's all I want for her. She has brought be so far and I love her -- she deserves everything she's going to get with Helena. (may i just point out all these clips r old and although this horse taught me loads, how to sit to canter was not one of them... i can now )

-' More than anything I want to see you, girl, Take a glorious bite out of the whole world ' jubilee needs to spread her wings and fly, to be happy.

-'most of what I remember makes me sure, I should have stopped you from waling out that door' I never want to forget the good times ive had with jubes, and I never want to let the bad times over shadow the good. Ive painted an awful picture of her, and the time ive had with her, but it hasn't all been bad, most of it has been wonderful - jubilee was my saving grace, and ill miss her so much but I have to make the right decision and I know I have -- for all of us.

Thank you for the good times jubilee. Im so sorry for everything and I love you more than you know. This is breaking my heart and no one will ever love you more than I have. I will miss you forever and always and not a day will go by when I wont think of you. Goodbye, my angel. Have a brilliant life -- the life you deserve xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
