It has been just over a week since I loss Olaf, and I still miss him
dearly.
He was an only horse here, and I was just beginning to look for another
horse
to bring to my new place, when he died.
When is a good time to 'think' about getting another horse (or two)? I
would
not be looking at a horse to 'replace' Olaf in the sense of ever being
another
Olaf, I mean, not even cloning can produce that. I know I will be missing
Olaf and truly hope not to compare another horse with him, but when do you
know your heart and mind are in the right place to accept another horse
and
that horses' personality into your heart? Do you just know?
I talked to a lady who loss her beloved Arabian mare very suddenly last
year,
she said she really had no thoughts of getting another horse for at least
a
few months or maybe a year, but she was around Arabians all the time and
one
day she just saw this mare and knew she was the one, it was about a month
after her loss. She was glad to have another horse that she was able to
show
all this season and bond with.
So, how do you know and how do you get over the fear?
