I'm so sorry, Bia.  That bond is so special and I know it's hard.  I
wish you the best of luck in finding a new special partner.

well ... after months of treating my Missouri Foxtrotter (my best and 
favorite riding horse), the vet has told me that I may not ever be able to 
ride her again. I am beside myself because while I have other riding 
partners... I don't have one like Molly, who I can put anyone on, I can take 
out anytime, alone and be safe and not have to train while riding. She has 
been my companion for a long time but while doing a hunter pace, she cracked 
a bone and has never been able to fully recover. I have not ridden her since 
then, I I will not unless by some miracle she shows major improvement in her 
x rays.

So If anyone out there knows of a Foxtrotter available 14.3 to 51.1 who 
is a truely seasoned trail mount and who has no issues about being alone in 
the field or in the woods I would be interested. I know this isn't icelandic 
news but I love this list, I have friends on this list and I learn alot here 
about gait and husbandry in general so I thought I would post this here.

I'm sorry you have lost the use of your mare.

I'm thinking you are not on the Wesat coast?  There is a fox trotter 
gelding, black and white pinto, where I board.  His  76  year old owner, has 
decided his riding days are over.  The last price I heard was way too high, 
but the horse sure looks sad standing around idle.  If I had any time at 
all, I'd spend some of it with Spirit.

the accident was last June but her procedure was this past october.
I have not ridden her since June. I was hoping by now she would be showing 
signs of improvement, but so far she is not consistent. some good days , 
some not so good.
