Changing My Life Direction

Several days ago I announced my herd dispersal of all of our ASPC/AMHR miniature horses and Shetland ponies It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.

For 11 years miniature horses and Shetland ponies have been my life and my passion, so it is not easy to make a decision like this.

But I know for sure it was the right decision no matter how painful it is.

I do think I will try to get my ASPC/AMHR judges card either this year or maybe next year depending on how hubby is doing. This way I can still do what I enjoy and that is horse shows and small equine!

On the bright side I have to admit I am looking forward to being able to travel without obsessing over who is taking care of the horses. Invariably every time we have tried to take a vacation, I get a call that something is wrong back on the farm. Mostly we had to take separate trips so that one of us could stay home and care for the ponies.

I am also finishing up the next e-book in the Miniature Horse & Shetland Pony series and I think this one is going to be awesome! This one will be showing tips for minis and ponies and I have invited some special people to add to the book with their wealth of knowledge on showing minis & ponies. Way too much fun!

I am determined to simplify my life and get hubby's and mines stress levels down to a manageable level.

If anyone reading this is interested in purchasing any of our minis/ponies please email me at kay@baxterspaintedpasture, and I can send you a dispersal list. My biggest priority is finding them the best homes and preference will be given to those with a good reputation of caring for their horses.
