As some of you know my 9 year old granddaughter is very much into horses. All she wants is a horse. She rides at two different barns in two different states. She also rides at a stable near me when she visits. Her favorite horse is up for sale at the barn in NJ. She is really upset because she loves this horse. Her parents don't want the responsibility of owning a horse, especially when she rides in two different barns. They are not up for leasing either.

When my dgd was here last time she told the owner of the barn that "her" horse was up for sale. Now the owner of the barn near me wants to go to NJ to see the horse and wants me to go with her. I told her I would since I have been there many times to see dgd in shows. She also wanted my gd to ride the horse so she could see how good the horse is. My gd is away on vacation and is totally conflicted. She wants the horse to stay at the stable in NJ but also wants the owner near my barn to go up to see "her" horse. It's a very awkward situation. If the horse gets sold to someone else other than a NJ barn rider she'll never see or ride the horse again. If the owner near me buys it she can at least see and ride him occassionally.

As her grandmother I would love to get her the horse, but I have been told I cannot.

All you horse lovers out there I'm sure you understand my dilemma.
