Something I have been struggling with for a while, trying to make time for my pony. I wonder if he is okay with just hanging out with his brother and being a retired pony or would he like to do more? His health is getting better, he has put on weight, looks bright eyed and happy for the 1st time in months. I have so many things to accomplish with Chance that Shadow does get left out. Chance is young and has a lot of energy. And Chance is the horse that I ride. Having Chance around has been so good for me. As much as I do worry about Shadow's health, having Chance has given be something else to focus on. Also, CC will go through the fence if I take Shadow out of his sight. That is probably the only thing that has made having the ponies together difficult. And I guess without really thinking it I have started to pull away from Shadow. He is 29 and not in great health. I didn't think he would be around when the weather got cold. I am not in anyway trying to rush the rest of his life, but I think I have been trying to prepare myself for his death. It is going to be hard, I love that pony so much, and saying goodbye to him is sometimes not even comprehensible.
I guess in trying to make more horse time I will fit in small amounts of time in for Shadow. Not enough to effect his health but hopefully enough to help his mind. And mine also, I miss playing with him.
