I am someone that does not scare easy. Someone jumps out from behind a door and I just look at them wondering if they have anything better to do. I have had my life threatened with both a knife and a gun. In both events i told the guy he better make the first attempt count because he would not get a second chance at it. I have been in wrecks, I have fallen off horses, i have driven cars at near 200mpg. None of that scares me.
Dieing does not scare me.
But what does scare me?
As I type this, my best friend. A guy that has been like a brother to me for near 22 years, is in the hospital laying on his death bed. He is leaving everything to me. His property, his guns, his money, and most importantly, my memory of my time with him as the brother i never had when i was growing up. The happiest years of my life so far, are of when i was younger (he is 25 years older than i am) and in college and he was giving me and my horse (Goldstud) a place to live. The time he and I spent together caring for our horses, working on the property, making the place better.
What does this have to do with what scares me you are maybe wondering.
What scares me is that i don't have that person to give everything to, to carry on my legacy. To take care of my horses. To be by my side when I am on my death bed.
In all honesty I don't care about having someone by my side when i am dying.
What i do care about though, is what happens to my horses when i die.
Currently i have no one to leave them to. If i was to die in a car wreck tomorrow, i have no idea what would happen to my horses. I have no heir.
I have tried finding someone young here on zoovile (I woukd prefer to find a youg girl that wants to get into horse breefing, but a serious guy that fits the plsve would be acceptable) that would like to move in and learn my business, learn how to care for horses, breed horses, teach others to breed horsrs, help me grow the business to someday have a more profitable business to take over.
I find people that say they are interested, but when they get here they only want to do the minimum necessary to get me to let them live here. They don't want to do enough to free me up to grow the business, and for sure don't put enough time into it to be part of growing the business.
I have tried finding someone irl under the same criteria. Same result. They want to do the minimum possible and expect that i will then just give them everything with out doing anything to earn the position as heir.
Unfortunetely there is no way for me to know if i will get in a car wreck and die tomorrow, or a heart attack tonight, or cancer in a few months, but I do know that i will get old and die if nothing takes me out sooner than that. And with that being the thought, i have decided i will not take on any horses younger than the youngest 2 year old i currently have. Time wise they should be about to the end of their life about the same time i am because what scares me most?
Dying before all my current horses do and leaving them with no one to care for them! ?
