I am in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're allowed to be disappointed, but to be honest you did come off kind of whiny.

The best way to look at this is to tell yourself that this obviously wasn't the horse for you, and the right one will come along eventually.

I went to look at a half Arabian pinto about 2 months ago. I really wanted him, but his owner decided to give him to someone else after some consideration.

I thanked her for her time and for allowing me to ride him, and congratulated her on finding him the perfect owner. I was disappointed, but figured I just wasn't meant to have that particular horse.

I kept the disappointment to myself because you should always be gracious, even in defeat.

A week ago I went to look at another horse; a TB who was just off the track for 2 months. I brought him home last Wednesday.

So you see, if I had gotten the pinto I would have never found the TB, who in actuality is a better match for me.

If it's meant to be, it'll happen. If it's not, there's no sense worrying yourself sick over it. Things will all work out for the best. Really.

I went and looked at a big gorgeous palomino last year, loved him and wanted him, i was going to trade my mare for him, then suddenly the owner decided he didnt want to do a straight across trade, and i just could not afford at the time to give him more money, i was devistated yes, but i kept it in. I am just sick and tired of finding something i really like, then it just blows up in my face, for once i would like soemthing to work out for me. And ya your right, maybe this horse is just not meant to be for me.... i really wish he was though =(

Not much of a problem? Cleaning up and bringing along extra feed for an additional horse they are not using? Making the time to show a prospective buyer the horse instead of concentrating on their competition and hanging out with show buddies? Do you know the horse is staying for free?

Sorry - I think the seller is very gracious to offer all they have.

yes the seller is very gracious, and i will pay for there gas. The point is i still dont think this horse is worth the price there asking, i guess i probably shouldnt of even put that in my post...... wanst thinking, o well

Trust me, the right horse is out there.

Yep, it can be disheartening and sometimes you feel like things are all going to heck, but in the long run you'll realize that every horse you looked at and didn't get, just wasn't the right one for you.

Crimsonhorse made a good point; he's a ranch horse, and they're alll over the place right now, being practically given away. There are plenty of them with the same build, and close to the same coloring.

I know you want this one, but when a thing is too hard to get and there are too many roadblocks, God is telling you this isn't the horse for you.

true very very true.

Ok, so a little update here. She finally e-mailed me back, she had the flu and was absolutly miserable. Her dad said he would consider $2500 on taz, but here is the new problem, she wont be able to deliver him, as they will not be heading in my direction for a while now, ugh do you guys see now what i mean by nothing ever works out right for me lol. I mean one thing works the other thing doesnt, ugh. But i wonder if i went out to see him, if i (this is a future talk here lol) liked him and wanted him and just paid for him then, if maybe down the road they could haul him up to me, or maybe we could just meet half way. hmmmmm...........

2500 is about the right price here, but it maybe to high were you live. its pretty common for the seller to make the buyer up pick the horse up from their location, or pay them shipping. maybe they know someone who can haul for you?? This is why i dont look at a horse thats over an hour or more away.

That really sucks.....can you maybe ask them to hold on to Taz for a little while, and then see around if you can organize transport. Don't let this horse slip from your fingers again! Try your best to get Taz.

Im really gonna try my hardest to get him, i just dont know how yet. I thought about asking if she would maybe meet me half way. Ya sillybunny i totally agree with you, i normally dont look at horses that are so far away, but i just happened to see him and just wanted him. Im gonna keep trying to figure something out, i just dont know what.......
