Something’s not right

i dont really know how to react or feel or what to do..?

i dont really know how to react or feel or what to do..?

Hi guys

im having alot of trouble moving forward from this situation and any advice would be helpful

So when I was about 9 I was offerred a horse to ride as my mums boyfriend owned a riding school and no one ever used this horse as she was suited to beginners so they offered her to me and said if I do the work with her which pretty much included rebreaking in then I could ride her and take her to horse shows and do pony club with her and she was mine to keep for as long as possible.
So I worked on this horse for 6 years and had this horse almost perfect but not for beginners still as she use to buck but as I trained her up she was so trusting of me she almost seemed like another horse for other people and she hated other people riding her. I took her to pony club, beach rides, road rides and taught her how to travel on a float and came home with many ribbons even if they were 5th it didnt matetr to me. This horse was my best friend and I spent every waking hour with her when I wasnt at school.
After these years though, mum and her boyfriend broke up and without a word or warning, my mum got a phone call saying that if I was to enter the property they would call the police on me. I never even got to say goodbye to her 😞

it breaks my heart every time I think about her. And my sister- her pop s the one who owns the horse so my sisters still Is allowed on the property and when she goes up there she talks about her without the intention of hurting me but it breaks my heart every single day. I havent felt the same about horses since nor have I been able to form a connection with one since then and this was 6 years ago 😞

and do you know what makes it worse, where I live the property is pretty much at the back of our house and theres abike track and every now and then I go for a walk along there ad I see her and I call her and she knows who it is I can see it in her eyes but she cant come over as theres far to much gap between the fence and where I am. Sometime I wish I could just jump the fence and go see her. I miss her so much

Hi @Former-Member

sounds very sad to have lost this beautiful horse 😞 Sadly i dont think that there is much you can do about it, as its not your property or horse etc. It might be a matter of working through the loss over time, in a similar way to losing a beloved pet. It will be sad to hear your sister talk about it, but hopefully with time it will get easier. Keep focussing on building up other parts of life that are good and bring you happiness (drawing etc). you cant replace the bond you had with your horse of course, but still important to do things that bring joy/happiness,

Sorry to hear about the horse @Former-Member 😙❤
Very sad for you. Sending you a hug.

Is there a possibility that you could talk to your sister's pop and explain how you feel?
If you can't speak to him in person, perhaps you could write a letter to him explaining how sad you are and ask if it's at all possible for you to see the horse occasionally. Would it be possible? I hope so.
Could your sister give him the letter?

I'm going to have to try and sleep now.
Hoping an earlier night will help.

Hugs and sleep well. 😴💕

I asked them a few years back if i could see her and then about 2 years ago i asked agajn and the answer was still no. They have no sympathy for me @Former-Member
I dont know if I can take another hit like that

Re: i dont really know how to react or feel or what to do..?

@Former-Member this sounds really really hard not being able to be with this horse now what else happened today that made your day stressful

In response to: i dont really know how to react or feel or what to do..?

Re: i dont really know how to react or feel or what to do..?

Yeah it is really hard @Pepsimax
What else made my day more stressful was the fact im panicking about tomorrow. Its making me super nervous and scaring the crap out of me. A memory of my pop in hospital popped up. Going to my psych which was ok but then i attempted the homework she gave me which wasnt smart and shouldve done tomorrow and the feeling well not knowing what to feel about this situation
