How to deal with lack of contact with horses?

[Cynolove693]

Seriously though here's my advice, your asking how to deal with lack of contact with horses; I'll say the same thing I did back when we talked regularly on zf.. You need to get a companion, a dog would be most reasonable, and afforadble in your situation; you may even qualify for a sevice dog; even if your not a "dog zoo" I don't think you realise just how beneficial having one around would be for your mental wellbeing.. Trust me in a way I was as stubborn about this as well, all I wanted was my friends dog, nothing less would do; I took me 2 years of loneliness, you heard that right years to finally decide enough is enough, and get a dog of my own.. Point is I'm glad I did; he may not be exactly who I wanted, but he's what choice I had available to me, he really has helped me come out of a bad streak of depression and we have become close (not the same as my soulmate but its still love nonetheless), I know and realise all you want is a horse, and I truly hope it happens for you someday; but for the time being at least consider a dog to fill the loneliness in your life, I doubt you'll regret it like you suggest; and what's the saying "beggers can't be chooser's"; I honestly wish I would have taken this same advice back in the day.. It would have saved me years of unnecessary pain
