I'm rather excited that this fall I will be going away for college, I will be studying Equine Health!

I will be moving only 3 hours away from home, not super far but still far enough away that I can have the entire college experience!
The only sad part about moving away is that my horse will be staying in my home town with my parents

As of now he is basically a pasture ornament because of my back problems holding me back from riding. So me not riding him I could careless about but I'm just going to miss being able to see him every day, and just doing all the horsey things with him.
Has anyone else gone away to college and left or sold their horse?
