Question 6

You are very far away...

Accepted Answer

The feeling of being "far away" is subjective and depends on each person's perspective, not just physical distance. "Far away" is a state of mind, not just a physical location.While it's natural for owners to want their horses close to home, focus on the needs, not the distance. It's about the quality of life for your retired horse.A horse's happiness depends more on feeling free and having its basic needs met, such as food, water, shelter, social interaction and space to move, than on the physical distance from its owner.Frequent visits are beneficial for the owner's peace of mind, but the relationship is also based on trust and care, which can be maintained through regular, quality visits and interactions, even if the horse does not live near you.
