[QUOTE="Shari, post: 121946, member: 1848"] Thanks all. And I'm sorry to keep whining about this. I keep trying to talk to husband but he's just not hearing how important this is. I've found someone who wants one of the ponies. They are not going to buy it (which is ok with me), but they are going to take it, take care of it, use it, and care for it properly. They will call tomorrow night. husband will have to deal. He has not taken care of them for the past year. He hasn't used them in 3. I'm cleaning off the fridge and posting a giant list of all the bigger things that need to be done. Oil changes, bearings packed, ground wire run for the stock tank heater, barn repair, when a pony needs to go to the farrier. Its not MY list, its just A list - of things that must be done if we're going to keep what we've got. Otherwise, we MUST downsize. husband has GOT to GET this. The last thing I'm thinking about going is a little childish, but I've tried and tried to talk to husband and he just does not understand really how important this is...but I am thinking about listing my horse for sale. The price will be high, and I don't intend to sell unless I get that exorbanent amount, but husband knows what my paint means to me. My thought is that seeing it in print and fielding some phone calls will make him understand that I'm not playing around. Its a gamble, its manipulative, but I have no doubt it will get his attention. And if he doesn't step up and this is the way my life is going to go, I certainly don't have time to ride it, anyway. Is that totally wrong? (cause beleive me, I've talked to him repeatedly - if I'm standing here, he'll do something; If I'm outta sight, he's in front of the tv). [/QUOTE]
