Whirlwind of change Kate! But I imagine it will make your life easier if you end up moving to the border.
We are all thinking of you!

Is John working in south Texas now? Or in school? Do you have any idea of when you will move? That is going to be quite an undertaking. You have sold out your pigs and now your goats. Sometimes you just have to make those hard decisions. I am sad but glad for you that you can now concentrate on your first love, your horses.

I cannot explain it, but both GW and I felt the loss of Maya with you.
I scrolled through the pics of your life with her and after I read your story (from the blog) I just sat there K. I cried and couldn't even respond. I absolutely do understand that incredible deep love and bond. I am so glad that even through the terrible sadness and loss you "remembered" your way... your joy... your love! Never any doubt you loved your goats but there is nothing like when you return to your true passion.
The girls are beautiful!

@Bruce it'll be easier to move 4 horses, a few chickens, dogs and cats than what we had 6 months ago.
@Baymule Yes. He's working in Freer. He's usually home every other weekend.
@Southern by choice I know y'all did. You Two have huge hearts. I wish you could've known her. She was the kindest and most honest.

Life is way too short to be super stressed for extended periods of time. I applaud ya for making such a very difficult decision, but the decreased stress will allow ya to catch your breath and truly Enjoy the "Trip of Life" to where ever you are heading towards. Sure hope that everything works out for ya and will be admiring your horses as much as I have your goats.....

We actually have 4 horses. I just don't talk about them often I suppose...
Java is my husband's horse. He's a 17.1hh thoroughbred. Really pretty boy but mean. He's wicked, but John doesn't think so. They get along great. We've had him for 4 years.
Mama, who I've had for.... 13 years? 14? She's the love of my life and has on several occasions succeeded in breaking many of my bones. When I was 15 they told me one day she would kill me. She's retired now, so I showed them! She's a good horse but a big ole scaredy cat. Spooks at everything, always has. I knew her every move before she made it and she knew mine. We did everything together in her heyday. Barrels, jumping, trails, endurance, trick riding... you name it! She's the reason I got Maya!
I purchased Xena and Secret after losing Maya so our adventure just started.
Let me find some pictures of my other two, here's pretty Xena while you wait:

Sounds like DH should be a mounted border patrol agent

That's one long wait.
I'm glad your doing what you love though. No point in having critters you don't enjoy/love take up your time. Thats partly why we are switching over to mostly pigs and sheep.

@Bruce he's thought about it, but yeah... Not gonna happen.
I am sorry to have kept you waiting. Life has been keeping me busy.
Most of you I believe know my mustang mare Mama:
Not her most flattering pictures but ya'll already know how pretty she is.
I got Mama when I was 14, and she's a permanent member of my herd. She's retired now after an injury to a tendon two years ago. She's who I refer to as the love of my life. We've done many crazy things together and been all over the country together. You name it, we've done it. I love this mare! I miss riding her. I really do.
Back in the day we used to FLY! Mama and I were the inseperable duo. We jumped, we ran barrels, we did endurance, we ran around the country like two peas in a pod. She had her days though. Her days where she wanted to kill me. Her days when the world was out to get her. It never stopped me from loving her.
