Sonita stories......Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sonita stories... This one in particular got me thinking.<br /><br />I had one horse I had to rehome that made me realize it's a situation I don't want to ever HAVE to be in again. He went to a good older teen, and she enjoyed him a lot.<br /><br />I went to a show to watch them a few months into her ownership, and while we relaxed and hung out in front of his stall, he hung his head over the door the whole time right by my shoulder. Later she mentioned he seemed subdues and depressed the next week... <br /><br />They sold him on to someone else, and I saw him a year later. We went for a ride, and like you and Sonita, there is nothing like an old friend that you trained from go and know as well as yourself. He called after me twice as I walked away after that visit. That broke my heart. <br /><br />He was euthed due to colic less than a year after that visit, only 15 years old. <br /><br />I would never be a good horse trader, if it's a horse I bonded with and loved. It's just heart wrenching.<br /><br />I'm so glad Sonita, who has brought all of us readers (in addition to the actual people in her life) so much pleasure, had a great owner after you, and this ride story... awesome!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http:www.iamboyfriend.com/" rel="nofollow">I am Boyfriend</a>Bifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648037666735227722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-68107542482011144512010-01-07T16:26:32.628-07:002010-01-07T16:26:32.628-07:00>camera pans, microphone slide up<
