Get her! If it were me I would be there now getting her back, I'm sure the people selling could give you enough information to figure out if it really is her too.

[Sonesta]

Go get her. At her age, she could end up in a bad place. And if things become such that you cannot later afford to keep her and cannot find a good place for her, then there are worse things than being put kindly to sleep by an owner that loves her.

Post pictures when you get her home!

[jenm]

Go get her. You will regret it if you don't.

[imaginique]

I have a soft spot for old Arabs. I'd say go get her and be sure to post pics!

Even if you only keep her til spring, and give her a graceful end, it would be kinder than allowing her condition to perpetuate.

You'll never say "gosh I'm so happy I didn't get my long lost mare when I had the chance"

You'll never say "I regret giving her a winter of peace and love before ending her life"

Go get her.

This in spades. I heard of a young horse I had bred being for sale because his rider could not handle him. I dithered and did not buy him back. I regret it immensely. Now I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is still alive. I still trawl the sale sites looking for him and if I find him I'm buying him.

[BasqueMom]

Yes, go see if it is her and get her. If caring for her becomes too much financially or whatever, then give her a peaceful end with a full belly and hugs.

99% of my regrets in life are the things I didn't do.

I'd go get her. You'll sleep better. And maybe you can find someone that wants a free lease on a babysitter type horse, but you can keep tabs on her.

yesyesyes!!!!!!!!!!

[Crockpot]

The fact that you contacted the buyer 2 yrs after you sold her to offer to move her when there was a fire in the area says a great deal about how much she means to you.

I hope you can get her. Please post a photo when she is home!

[Joanne]

Please somebody tell me I should go get her... I would be happy to return the favor next time you want to buy another horse and are wondering if you are crazy.

WELL.....have you called the ad yet???? Enabling you!

[SendenHorse]

yes, go get her.

[ako]

Please get her and then come back and tell us how relieved you are to have done it!!

[firelizardfarm]

Well, here is the update. I drove up to see her with all of family agreeing that I should get her if it was her. Sadly, it was not.Was a remarkable resemblance, but when I got there this mare had a belly spot (large) and was not her. However, I was able to match the owner up with a friend who needs a leadline pony. So happy ending for the horse. I wish it had been her, I still think of her often, but such is life. Hope she is ok, wherever she is.

Sorry it wasn't your old mare but I am glad she will have a decent home.

See COTHers...enabling did help this old girl!!

[Nezzy]

Wow, So sorry it was not her. But you did a good thing.

[BasqueMom]

Glad you took the trip....sorry it wasn't her but your trip landed the mare in a good place. Maybe your gal will still appear...good luck!

[Miss J]

Oh darn ineas hoping to hear a 'I bought her' update. But glad to see she found a nice home.

I just can't believe the old owner wouldn't give you contact info for your mare, after she had agreed to give you first right of refusal.

[Horse with No Name]

Glad you made the trip. Sad it is not her but good that she now has a soft landing.

[StGermain]

I don't think any one of us would regret helping a horse in need. Thank you for checking on her and helping her to a soft landing.

I'm sure you get major karma points for helping this mare out away
