Moping...

The riding stable in Manhattan is closing next week, after being in business over a century. I'm really bumming- this will mean at least an hour each way to the next closest riding stable for me.

I have not great hopes for the rest of the week after the way it started out.

Damn Nicole...

I am so sorry. That's awful news!

Geesh... the more I think about it, the more disheartened I become. It just seems like nothing in this world is cherished anymore.

I am so sorry. You have got to be devastated.

I can hook you up with my trainer who is heading to Long Island on Tuesday. I can call her after work and get the address of where the barn is that she is going to be working at. It is somewhere on Long Island.

Kinda sucks that this barn that has been in business for so long is closing. Seems like that is happening everywhere.

That's so sweet of you, but I don't have a car, so it becomes very difficult to go anywhere outside of the 5 boroughs. Ah well. I'm going six, count 'em, six times to the stable this week to try to use up my remaining tickets and to say goodbye. There are a lot of people crying there today (I stopped in on my way to work).

I thought she may be too far from you.

Take a ride in Central Park! And take a lot of carrots and apples with you. What are they doing with the horses?

On my Florida horse board, they are even talking about the closure of this stable. So even Floridians are sad over your loss. They had nothing but kind things to say about the place. They were worried about the horses so I quoted what you said about many people asking about them.
