And my job sounds much like yours. I just watch the hours slowly tick, thinking that at least I have a job. I wish I could think that at least I have an interesting job. <br /><br />I'm sorry for all your going through. Sounds like you're handling things in the best way you can by believing whatever happens, you'll be able to handle it and be okay. It's good to have that faith.

Thank you so much ...Oh you guys help me out a lot. Thank you so much for the positive words of encouragement. I do realize that you're only hearing my side of the situation (with Mary), and that's probably unfair and prejudiced. I have known her a long time and I've had issues with her personality for the entire time. My biggest issues with her, are that she is completely overbearing and so bossy - her way is the only way! At 52, I'm just too old to completely change everything that I've been taught. And, so far I'm fortunate that nothing bad has ever happened with me and my horses. I chose her because we were both taught by Ray Hunt and her basic philosophy is the same as mine. I need someone who will help me, help my horse. The way to that is to help me re-build my confidence. I'm not without skills, just need encouragement and a little push out of my comfort zone sometimes. Mary just told me to "get over your fears". If only it were that easy...

God is a mystery to me a lot of the time, yet he always has my best interests at heart. I look back over the rough patches in my life and see evidence of his hand on them. You'll get through this and come out the other side strong in faith and rich in ways you can't even imagine now.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-78638170396431249852012-08-22T22:23:05.153-07:002012-08-22T22:23:05.153-07:00Ugh sounds like you have so much going on. I agree...Ugh sounds like you have so much going on. I agree with you for seperating with your trainer. No matter how much someone does with your horse they have to keep in mind the owner. Whenever I am working with a new horse I ALWAYS get to know the owners needs. My goal is for someone not to need me anymore. I want people to feel as confident with thier horse as I do. I hope you find the right match!! <br /><br />Do you have room for another horse? If so have you thought about a boarder? I board my mare at a private home and it is great. My money helps them afford the horses. The private place is cheaper than a boarding stable and I love that she gets one on one attention. You have to get the perfect match but I bet someone is out there. I know you have a lot of horses though so it might be hard to find a good match.

There are good trainers out there who are positive and that is what you need. Its what we all need. I won't work with someone who is negative -- or who talks nonstop. I think I'd go out of my tree.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-87987546366068387362012-08-22T19:05:35.999-07:002012-08-22T19:05:35.999-07:00Your worries are understandable, hope things turn ...Your worries are understandable, hope things turn around. During difficult times I try to remind myself that for every door that closes, another one opens. Keep looking on the bright side, and find that open door. You've got many wonderful blessings in your life!<br /><br />Glad you've moved on from Mary, no one needs that. I remember telling myself "I don't need to pay someone to make myself feel bad, I can do that on my own for free!" Keep the good things she taught you & let the rest go. Not easy, but you & Eagle will be all the better for it.<br /><br />My life isn't much of a diversion, lotsa draining work. It's the family/horses/camera/outdoor stuff that keeps me going. Yep, onward & upward!aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-82297542039479134272012-08-22T18:57:18.477-07:002012-08-22T18:57:18.477-07:00You do have a lot of things going on right now but...You do have a lot of things going on right now but with your positive attitude I believe things will eventually turn around for you. I've always been a big believer in "you make your own luck" philosophy. I believe you've made a good start by letting Mary go. Sounds like she was very negative and you don't need that sort of negative energy around you right now. Focus on the good things and do what you feel is right for you and your circumstances. Don't dwell on the bad but focus on the good.

Works with horses and works with people. Now that you're on your own with Eagle, remember to focus on what he does right and what you do right and build on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-64259163850648476962012-08-22T17:23:39.905-07:002012-08-22T17:23:39.905-07:00I'm having the same problem selling my horse t...I'm having the same problem selling my horse trailer.
