💔 A Breeder’s Dream – And the Heartbreak When It’s Betrayed 💔
It starts long before they are born.
📜 Years of studying pedigrees.
📜 Decades of selecting bloodlines.
📜 A lifetime of dreams, woven into each new generation.
Then one day, that dream takes its first breath.
✨ A foal is born.
💭 Maybe he will shine in the show ring.
💭 Maybe she will become a cherished broodmare.
💭 Maybe they will carry on their legacy for generations.
And as they grow, you watch them, nurture them, believe in them.
You see their potential. You dream for them.
But there comes a day when you must make a decision.
You sell them—not to just anyone, but to the right person.
You carefully choose their future.
You trust the buyer’s word.
💬 They promise to keep in touch.
💬 They promise you will always know how your foal is doing.
💬 They promise to give them the future they deserve.
So you let go.
📜 Maybe you lower the price to ensure they go to the right home.
📜 Maybe you help with transport to make it possible.
📜 Maybe you sacrifice something—because you want to do what’s best for them.
And then… silence.
📢 They change their minds.
📢 They break their promises.
📢 They disappear.
📢 You never find out what happened.
💔 And you are left with a dream that died in someone else’s hands.
And what hurts the most?
💬 It’s not just about the horse. It’s about the trust that was broken.
💬 It’s about the years of planning that were tossed away.
💬 It’s about the family members—including our children—who are left wondering what happened.
💬 It’s about all the promises of updates, of staying in touch, of doing the right thing… that turned into nothing.
We need to talk about this.
🐴 Buying a horse is not just a transaction. It is a trust.
🐴 Selling a horse is not just about money—it is about dreams, promises, and responsibility.
🐴 If you give your word as a buyer, that word should mean something.
For every horse you buy, every young c**t or filly you bring into your stable, every foal someone sells to you…
💬 Remember that someone once dreamed of their future.
💬 Remember that you hold the responsibility to honor that promise.
We must do better.
For the horses. For the breeders. For the families who care.
💬 Have you experienced something like this? Let’s talk about it.
