I can accept and pretty much deal with my SCI and im pretty much positive and dont feel bad for what happened to me at all....It happened and i cant change it so best to move on and look forwards.
I posted recently about having to sell one of my horses.,.but now due to having no help with them as the person who looked after them has decided to give up..i have to rehome my last 3.
This is my regret with this Spinal Cord Injury...i love my horses with a passion and not being able to care for them physically anymore really p*sses me off.
So i have contacted a rescue rehoming centre this morning to see if they can take my two girls
and my stallion who i will loan out to someone
Well guys..feel free to moan away too so i dont feel on my own in this pity party

Sorry Lara, I can kinda relate. In my head I still think I can still do everything, but the truth is physically.....I can't. The more time goes by the more I find I'm having trouble with. I just got back from the docs the other day. She told me I have to rest more, take breaks, put my legs up, hire people to do things for me, and relax. Good advice I'll never be able to take. I want quality of life over quantity. I will continue to push myself until I'm dead and I won't change. It's what makes me me. Dumb as that sounds it's the truth.
Beautiful animals Lαrα. Im so sorry you have to rehome them. I feel your pain and I can fully empathize with you. I used to take my neighbors retriever for walks, now she sees me and gets excited but I can't do it anymore, I get so aggravated. Two motorcycles are sitting in my garage, I go look at them once in awhile and cry, but I just can't push the button to get rid of them. I don't think I ever will. Im here to piss and moan with you and punch the wall, aint nothing wrong with that!! Somehow I see it changing at some point, and being able to stand up again, but we just don't know fer sure. Ive come to peace with the fact that it did happen, and I accept it for fear of self distructing in anger, but I won't give up the path to physical recovery and walking, that keeps me going. speak soon !!!

Yep, know that one. I'll stop fighting when I'm dead, and I tried it, didn't like it, so old nick is going to have a long wait . . .
Sorry for the loss of your beautiful horses it must break your heart to part with them. As you know i have Fibromyalgia/CFs and believe me I understand your feeling of loss. I too have found the life I took for granted pulled from under my feet. We all like to be as positive as we can but there is no shame in feeling our loss at times. We are human and we feel deeply your in my thoughts Lara .
Still own my old bike, can't even kick it over, but can't bear to part with it. ATM, one of my brothers' lad is looking after it, keeping it fettled & taking it out for a run now & again. At least I've got my trike, if it ever stops raining, getting all the wet weather gear on & off on my own is a real pain . . .
Thankyou guys for posting your support...and mo...lol Well to be honest much dosent get me down but today im more down than ive been in a long time... ...... I wish i could look after them myself..God i used to much 7 out a day and rise and school them ..and now....well i cant
I know that nothing stays the same in life but it would be nice for something to be consistent...and good
I know life isnt a fairy tale but from where i am right...its feels pretty sh*t
Lαrα, those are beautiful horses and by making such difficult decisions only shows you're doing what's best for your beloved animals although it gives you tremendous pain. You have wonderful memories and more to look forward to in the future as you have the experience that can help many. I think I read somewhere that you still train and your bond with animals will never cease. Hold onto those new begginings.
I thought I was going through a difficult time recently and at the same time my best friend informed me she had breast cancer in high stage, she is only 40 and has a 9 year old daughter. I thought to myself; there is always someone out there that is worse off; with that my struggle became minute.
thank you for sharing the pics, they are beautiful :-)
Oh Lara! I am so sorry that you have to place your gorgeous horses. After my husband died, my neighbour took over feeding my horses. When I moved back to Canada, I sold 2 of the 3 and board my mare at a friend's. Is there any way you could board them and have someone exercise them? Life can be so sh***y. CES takes so much of us, why does it have to take the things that we love so much?? My thoughts are with you.
Sorry to hear that Lαrα I know how much you love your horses, I bet you'll really miss them! I can imagine how frustrated you are with not being able to take care of them anymore physically. I feel the same for some things too!
So sorry about the horses...such beautiful animals...me my biggest loss is surfing like this morning would be a perfect day to hit the waves at least I can still dive.
