Well its starting to look like Lucas will be on his way on Friday. "I" and her parents have gotten in touch and have arranged the down payment and set out a payment plan for him for the next couple of months. However the down payment will be made on Thursday, not the end of the month like we thought. Which means that Lucas is leaving on Friday for the show that C and D are going to and will be picked up by "I" and her coach at the show.
Its kind of good, the remainder of his board money will pay off D and C's part (contracts, adds ect) and I wont be out of pocket for his shoeing in two weeks. It does mean that I have less time to say good by, as I have my IV on Thursday night and they will be leaving on Friday while I will be working.
The happy / sad issue remains. Happy he's going to someone who will appreciate him, and use him, sad that he's going, and with it a huge part of my life over the past couple of years.
C suggested today that I used the week I booked off in August and go to the USA with her to a couple of Appaloosa shows. Its something that now that Lucas is off my 'books' I can afford to do. I had half planed to go to a horse show locally (I had booked the time off before I stopped riding) but this would give me a chance to have my first real vacation since Congress in 2008. So we'll see if I can get the time off work, and go from there.

It's sad and happy at the same time. Tough feelings to deal with. I'm sure you'll spend as much time as you can with Lucas before he goes.
A vacation sounds like a good idea. You should try to do it.
I am just getting caught up after a busy week and was surprised at read that Lucas has found a home! What a difference a week makes. Sounds like his new home will be great for him. Good for you for making sure he is taken care of. It is kind of a good sad. I hope you are able to see him at some shows.
