After a 25 year timeline, I finally made my way back to working with horses again. I've always wanted one but never really had the time, money, or most of all, confidence to own one. Let's face it, they're a big animal and you just don't pick one up on the way home without first making a few important changes in your life.
Well, my life has had LOTS of changes and none had involved the inclusion of one or more horses in my life until this past year.
I started out slowly by first volunteering with a great group here on PEI called Sadie's Place and can be found at http://www.sadiesplace.ca/
Secondly, I had to include my partner in my desire for adding another family member. If you're like me, you take on a pet or animal knowing full well the emotional investment. It's not just an animal, it's part of your daily life. If you have ever lost a loved pet, you'll know what I mean about the void that is left once they are gone.
Now this is where I've come to. I am now fostering horses on our cottage property in South Melville. It's about 10 acres of land with a house and shed on it, but now it includes two pastures for the horses. At first I had both Bandit and Devil show up on the same day to the newly fenced in area. Thanks to my partner Darrin and his dad John. I was away on business a lot and they did most of the work in my absence.
