Hey guys,
I know I haven't uploaded anything, much less comment or post journals.
But I'm just so busy with SAT prep and AP testing stuff that I don't have any time to do anything, really.

But that's not what I want to rant about...
So of course, everyone [or at least in texas] knows that horse people are very evil beings.
A couple months ago, my horse of 8 years became lame, and couldn't even walk without a major bobbing of his head.

So we decided to call the vet clinic at which he had a x-ray done 5 years ago. My former horse trainer had taken Willie to the vet, and said that the vet said Willie's knees had nothing wrong with them. But when we called recently, the clinic had on file that the vet told my former trainer that his right knee was bone on bone and that his jumping career needed to end.

Basically, I've been torturing him all these years. He never showed any pain until recently, but my vet recently told me it was because of the supplements I had given him for the majority of his life; the supplements slowed down the process, but of course, it could not stop it. He also said that both of his knees were bone on bone, and that he should immediately be retired from all forms or riding, except maybe a little lead-line with a child on his back.

Since he cannot be ridden, the two little girls can't lease Willie anymore. And since I had bought another horse in December, there's no way my family could afford board for two horses.

So I have to sell Willie.
To be some lawn ornament or paddock pal.

I still can't process that he will be leaving soon. After eight years, I honestly don't know how I'm supposed to just let go.
