Misty I have to say is a difficult horse to ride and she likes to run but has a soft mouth and VERY soft sides. She very well broke but tests people who first ride her as much as she can and she loves to run. We have had many people come out to try her but all were smaller kids who let Misty run away and gallop of on them. So on Saturday we had a a young, small girl come to try her out. She had been riding for two years and when we saw her we thought we were in for a disaster. Nothing against the girl it's just we expected the same thing to happen all over again. We saddled her up and we took her down to the outdoor arena. I rode her for a bit then let the girl get on. I was only using have the arena because the other half was still muddy and wet. So she walked half the circle, she asked for the jog and Misty broke into a lope and I was like OMG here we go. But i was wrong the girl grabbed the reins and made her walk. Misty retreated and you could tell she was shocked to. The rest went better. She even went over a little jump. It was the best interview we come buy and they loved her. The girl liked her to but said she didn't like how Misty wanted to go faster then she wanted. So we made arrangements to bring Misty to there house a hour away so they could try her out for a week before confirming a final purchase. It seemed like one of the hardest days in my life so far I cried the whole way there. She got all accomadated and seemed very happyto be ridden. The girl who by the way is 10 rode her around the paddocks and Misty did great. We stayed for an hour watching the horses with our new friends lol and talked about lots of stuff as we watched Misty settle in. Then when we felt it was right to leave said goodbye and got in the car. It was a hard goodbye considering it was one of the hardest days of my life. Even though they said if they bought her that i could visit anytime and suggested going trail riding together. As we drove down the drive way Misty chased the trailer half way and we looked at eachother. I don't know if she didnt want me to go or was saying goodbye. Shes a smart horse and i have no doubt that she knows whats going on.It made me cry a little bit but how could i be so sad knowing how great this family was going to be to her. I have never seen anyone ride Misty as good as me. NO ONE, but this girl looked so perfect on her, so prestine.
As I said i don't want her to go because she my first horse and all are bond is still so strong. I really don't think I've ever loved something so much before shes always been there for me when no one hasn't. I got her when i was 9 and we spent 7 long amazing years together. Beleive it or not I actually had no friends in grade 7 because the only topic i ever talked about was Misty. Lol my username even screams it. If i kept her she would founder in a pasture alone with 3 other horses that arnt that nice to her.

But really how could I resist a girl who can give Misty what I used to and can't anymore. She will be doing jumping in Pony Club and Misty loves to jump and Run. Misty will have another horse all to herself.
I hope more than anything that nothing will go wrong and they will buy her I really, really, really do.

But this experince makes me realize how much you have to cherish life and what you have because your not going to have it forever.
And even though I have my new horse Ash whom I love I Swear i will always love Misty more.
I Love Misty.
