I “had” horses also. But when I received my osteoporosis diagnosis, I sadly gave them up. One factor in my decision was if I got hurt my family would have to look after me. And that wasn’t fair to them….I feel your pain. It feels like a part of my heart is missing….I couldn’t do the daily care so got out of them altogether…..I go visit a friends when I need a “fix”….

I’m terribly sorry! I do understand the need to get a “fix”! My horses live with me, and I downsized from 7 to 1. The one I kept was born here; she’s 16 now. She was too lonely so I adopted a young mustang. So far, I’m OK with chores. There will come a time when I won’t be, and you’re absolutely right about the burden on the family if something happens. Thank you, and I wish you the best!
