Bad News...

Today I found out that Spike is being leased out... I mean, that already saddens me... but it only got worse. He is being leased by someone who gets to have 2 lessons a week and who doesn't even really like him. This means I might not get to spend time with him or ride over break, because if she is leasing on the days I ride him... she'll be put on first priority since she is paying the barn and I am not... I am just a crazy chick who loves a school horse who has no money so therefore no one cares about. I will bide my time and try to raise some money so that I could try to lease him in the summer.I want to help him with his issues, I know he trusts me, and I trust him with my life. He is huge at 16.2hh, and most other tall horses make me nervous, but the only time I am nervous on him is when I am nervous that he won't be seen as the awesome horse he is and instead be seen as an ADD crazy horse. I trust him and therefore I am mostly at ease when I ride him. He tries so hard and is so willing. I am going to be a senior next year and can't bear to think how heartbroken I will be when I have to leave for college and have to leave him behind because I don't think I could convince Margaret to sell him. I am working tomorrow so I hope this new "leaser" does not show up so I can spend time chilling with him in his stall and maybe take him outside to take pics of him playing in the snow...
