Well alot has happened since my last post, Ive almost been to busy to write about it. I saw my RA doctor on the 23rd and shes decided to hold off on changing my meds for a bit. She is worried about the level of damange the RA is doing to my hands and my right ankle, but those are the worst, the rest are not as bad. So I have x-rays to be done on hands and ankles and then we go from there.
I ended up taking Lucas to our fun show at the barn (not like we needed to trailer to it!). And he was a super star as usual. We won our Halter and Showmanship classes, blew a lead (surprise) in the stake, and got second in the HUS class. I did well until that last class, and then I cried like a baby the entire second direction. We did ok but my lack of concentration hurt our placings. Thankfully my best friend only brought her barrel racer to the show and had time to get me sorted out before our Trail in hand class. So we ended up getting 5th out of 25 in the in hand trail class which I was impressed with as this was his first trail class. I will have pictures, my best friend took a ton as she knew how special and how hard that day was going to be.
The very next day I received an email from the former boss saying that he has some clients that were interested and asked me to send him up for a couple of weeks. So Lucas left on Thursday night for some time at his place, the old boss is going to ride him some and tune him up and have some of the kids that are looking ride him as well. Hopefully he will find a home up there as I know they will take care of him and show and enjoy him. I thought that I would want to go up with him but decided that I should just let him leave without upsetting us both. I have plans to go up next weekend to see him if hes not sold... Two good friends that have horses in the barn are taking him treats, and sharing some love with him until he gets a new person or comes home.... Im still not sure which would be better.

I think it would be really cool to see Lucas end up being a child's horse... he seems like such a sweet boy and he'd probably love a little kid of his own. I can tell you're still having a hard time with this, but I hope that once you find out who his new owner is going to be that you're able to feel better about selling him. I'm sure he'll have a great show home.
I hope you're feeling better with the RA too!!
