Im sorry I havn't posted much things have been a little crazy here at home. And Ive had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life so far.
Lucas is being put up for sale.
Although its killing me to do it, and breaking my heart in the process, I just have to admit to myself that he is just to much horse for me and my RA. He goes wonderfully for everyone else in the barn but I dont have the strength or consistency to keep him going correctly. Heck I cant get a left lead canter on him some days, and then someone else gets on and its fine. He has lots of miles left in him and would be an excellent horse for someone, just not me anymore.
My best friend brought it to a head when she asked me if I was keeping him for myself, or just because I was making up for his mistreatment before I bought him.
I wont be getting out of horses completely, and will keep riding and showing Lucas until he sells (heck with the way the market is, I could be still showing him next summer.) This week has been tough enough and its only going to get worse... please cross your fingers I can find him an excellent home
Anyone looking for a HUS horse?

It's a hard decision, but if it's right for you and him, then it's right - sending best wishes to you.
I am really sorry to read this. I can't imagine how tough it must have been for you to come to this decision. The fact that you are not rushing to find Lucas a home will give you a chance to find the right place for Lucas.
RA sucks. Like, seriously, SERIOUSLY, sucks. If I ruled the world, I'd turn RA into a real person and you and I would take RA out into a back alley and just kick the crap out of it for awhile.
Then we'd go do something cool - like, oh, kneel down on cement on a cold winter morning to pick something up and stand right back up. Or spring lightly and nimbly up onto our horses to go for a bareback ride, before coming back home and going for a jog and only worry about the normal aches and pains from exercise.
And then we'd go back to the alley and kick on RA some more--- because he would totally deserve it.
I'm sorry. :(
