How to get over horses...?

Question

Alright. I dont want to get over a fear of horses, i want to get over horses all together. Ive been riding for a really long time, but never was able to own my own horse, and for the past few years i havent even been able to ride often at all. And my mom says its about money, but even when we had the money she said it was about time. And even when we had the time, there was always some sort of excuse. She just doesnt like horses and doesnt want me around them. Which really sucks considering i dont think ive ever loved something so much. But she told me today that what i thought was very true. And we are moving to the city, ther are NO stables anywhere near where we're moving. And its just going to depress me to think about horses. So as much as it kills me to say this, i need to know how to get over Horses. I need to know a way to move on and put them behind me, atleast until im old enough and stable enought to have my own. I really need to do this, or its going to tear me up inside...

Answer 1

Well you could see if there is a wildlife rehabilitator where you are going .they always need help ,you would keep yourself occupied and be doing something very helpfull and rewarding.I lost my horse and miss her so,they are wonderful animals, but you are young you will have many opportunities in your life to do what you like to do.Keep your goal of horses in your mind as you plan for your future,they are expensive! Don't give up on something you love,make plans.Good Luck

Answer 2

I rode, trained and showed horses for over 13yrs. About 2yrs ago I sold my last horse and did not touch a horse since. I recently went and saw one of my old Stallions for the first time in 2 1/2 years. Not being around horses and riding breaks my heart and kills me a little bit inside everyday.

I currently dont have the money or time and I have a wonderful full time job as a vet tech and have a wonderful dog and husband to spend time with. I would love to get back into horses someday. But I try to think of all the wonderful times and continue to dream about what could have been.

Dont ever give up and dont ever forget! One day you will have your time to have with horses and It will be wonderful! Good Luck!

Maybe you can volunteer at a local animal shelter/rescue, get to know some people in your neighborhood and maybe walk their dogs, ask your mother for a small pet to take care of that may be inexpensive.
