I bought Nina for $200 and two years later I finally have a horse to ride, but I do not recommend this route, lol. <br />We found a lovely unraced 3 year old TB for a student of mine for 3k.

I'm sorry for the loss and hardship you've suffered. You've had more than your fair share of it. You've experienced the most extreme financial and emotional risks of loving and caring for horses. But the desire and passion for that good horse is still in you. I'm rooting for you and hope 2011 will be the start of Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-26815480841093948672010-12-27T18:16:34.332-05:002010-12-27T18:16:34.332-05:00I kept hoping Santa would come through for you.

But maybe the evil winter will help you rebound a bit and give you some time to just enjoy riding Ruby without all the winter worry. <br /><br />I'm sure the horse you want and need is out there waiting for you.
