#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have indeed. Good thinking. That was my plan at first because I love this mare more than anything. However, my neck break turned out worse than we thought in the sense that my neuro surgeon discovered that it was actually broken in a fall last summer, was misdiagnosed and I evented for a full season with it broken, thus it rebroke with minimal impact because it hadn't healed properly. It will take several (2/3) years for me to regain somewhere from 75-90% strength and I will ALWAYS be at risk for another accident. It's been broken twice and is severely weakened and I have come to understand something that no one can preach until they've experienced somehting drastic, and that is the value of my own life. I would never become one to preach against riding, but in my personal situation, for my own safety I really believe I should stay on the ground. I'm keen to ride again, but#ed_op#EM#ed_cl# #ed_op#/EM#ed_cl#someone was clearly looking out for me this time, adn i can't assume it will always be like that. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My horse is in the peak of her career and isn't happy sitting around doing nothing. I truly believe she'll enjoy life more if she continues to gallop around those xc courses, with or without me, and I can find joy in watching her. I of course want to find the best home possible. Through this accident I've also found an interest in the medical field, so the money from selling my horse would help put me through school, and I also plan to put enough of it away to buy her back and retire her later on in life if possible. It's taken a lot of soul searching, but I think this is the best route. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#xena_n_joss wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Glad to hear you are doing so good!

Then she would be able to compete for the next few years while you recover and gain strength... Because you can never say never and there may be a time that you will regret selling her when you are ready to ride again. Even if its just riding for fun. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
