Post- purchase terrified

So, I started this stupid thing. it's a blog. So I can record Andi's progress and whatnot, figure out what works and what doesn't. So far, all I've been able to think about is how badly I have fucked up in taking this horse in. Like.. I'm not a trainer. I don't even have a ring! How the HELL am I supposed to get a horse going?? JH made me feel better by telling me that after Sher, he will be a breeze, but.. God, there are a lot of variables.

I am finishing up a fence. It's not completely up yet, and apparently this horse blows through electric fence like it's his job. Oh fuckety fuck stick. I wasn't even going to hook it up for Sherwood! She's never had electric and has always been fine! What was I thinking? Can I give him back, do you think?

Fuck.

I am so dumb.

I did line up an indoor.. it's horrifying. it's like this dumpy indoor at a dumpy farm, but it's right down the road and all I need is stable footing. So, we're going. But the diea of having to park at this place is terrifying. They didn't even have their driveway plowed. One of their boarders needed to get pulled out WHILE I WAS THERE. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. I will be keeping my ears out for a better option.

I'm going to go back out and work on the fence after lunch. In the foot of water I'm currently wading through in my mud boots. Because my whole yard is mud right now. I don't think I've ever prayed for freezing cold as much as I have lately. But, boards are up, electric is almost up, and ponies will be home in... T minus 3 days.

Good news!!! we have a carport full of hay on pallets!!! I had such a good p-lan for taking Sher home- 1 stall for hay, 1 stall for Sher. Now I have a ghetto hayport and two stalls of ponies. *Throws hands up* Eh??

Not quite the end, I guess.

 No, he's not coming back. Sammi still loves him and just showed off a canter video where he looks relaxed and forward and... happy. Gre...
