I know my prayer request is odd but I need some one to help pray that this works out.I have 2 wonderful arabian horses for sale .One is a registered arab stallion and the other is his mare who is going to have a baby this sept . I am selling both horses( actually 3 if you count the baby) for $1000 less than I paid for 1 of the horses . Not to mention the $1000's I sank into training and breaking to ride . I love my horses very much but I feel my family is at a point that it would be very selfish of us to hold on to them. I can't ride much now due to breaking my leg 2 years ago and having to have surgery on it. My husband has been in the hospital 2 times this year once with heart problems due to Diabetes ( that he did not know he had he is only 32) and in march when he had 2 of his fingers severed off in an accident at work I might add there was no workmans comp and he had no health insurance although his boss has paid all the bills . Its been a hard year .We have in the past tried to take in animals that need help and we never turn anything away...and I praise God for him always finding a way for me to help but I am almost at witts end . If we can sell these horses it would take a load off us finacially and help so much . Not to mention the horses would go to a home where they can be used and loved and ridden every day . There was a gentleman who called 3 weeks ago and I spoke with him last week who says he is coming down as soon as he can get away from his job . His intials is J.m .He went through the trouble of speaking with my trainer who broke my horse to ride. He was so intrested in them and excited but his job keeps him tied up as he is a bail bondsman and he stays very busy . He has not been able to come to see the horses . I want you all to pray that he gets it on his mind to come and view the horses this weekend and try them out ( and all goes well while he is here ) . I just know in my heart if he gets here he will fall in love with the horses and want to take them home. I feel so whole heartly that he is the right match for them .If the horses do not sell this weekend I will take them off the market and and keep them . I love them dearly and want what is best for them and our family.Its just been one struggle after another . Thanks in advance for getting the Prayer wheels rolling for me and my family.

Praying that if it is the Father's will for the horses to stay with you, that they not be a burden to the family and that if it is His will for them not to stay with you, that you will be able to sell them pretty soon for a good price to a truly
kind and considerate owner.

Lord, I come to you in prayer for this request.
I come into agreement for the sale of the horses to just the right owners.
I also pray for this dear couple.
I bless them with health and relief.
I pray that wisdom and freedom will flow in their lives and that they will be surrounded by prosperity and divine protection.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hi ...I thought I would give a quick update. The guy Jim whom I mentioned in my previous post finally made it up here tuesday evening late to see the horses. He had intentions of riding my stallion but it was too late and it was getting dark so he said he would come back later this week to ride. He said he was def intrested in the horses and the riding would be a the deciding factor . So please continue to pray that the Lord would prevail on the out come of this potential sale of the horses...and pray that when he gets down here to ride that my horse behaves like the wonderful animal that he is . He has not been ridden in 2 years due to my leg injury and I have been upfront about the fact to Jim. He says he don't mind and he is not scared . He seems knowledgable about horses.If the horses are going to be sold it needs to be fast as the mare is very close to delivering her baby and I want her some where safe and secure when that happens . Thanks everyone for the prayers and the support for my family. It means so much to me.

I know this may sound strange, but I have always talked to my animals.
I included them in what was happening in their lives.
I think they can understand our hearts, if not our words.
I hope you will take some time and explain to the horses what is happening and why it is happening and why it is a good thing.
It may be important to warn your horse that the man wants to ride him and why. If you tell him maybe he won't be afraid and will do better.
Just a (crazy) thought,
Praying for the outcome...

Rachel I know they can understand I always talk to them . Horses are extremly intellgant esp this breed of horse. The legend of the arabian is that God gave the arabian to Ishmal for his faithfulness the horse arrived in a cloud of dust and wind it was a pregnant mare in foal with a colt .For what is is worth the arabian is the only true PUREBREED horse in the world and all other breeds can trace back to an Arabian. In my heart they are a gift from God a truly magnificent animal . It pains me so bad to have to part with them but in my heart of hearts I want to do what is best for them above all even if the money will help my family a lot we still want them to go to a home where they can be loved as we have loved them and where they will have a good stable home . The gentleman still has not made it here to ride my stallion I spoke with him Friday night he was out of town with his job he told me he would try to get down here by yesterday but I have yet to hear from him . I am beginning to think if he is too busy to make time to come back down here how in the world can he have time to take care of horses ? I want to give any one the benifit of the doubt but maybe it's not meant for him to buy them . I don't know I am confused some what . I went ahead and placed more ads for them so maybe God will lead the right person to my door and I will know that they are the right match when I meet them . If it is meant for me to to keep them maybe God will make that clear as well .Thank s for the prayers !

I have have placed ads elsewhere and given up on Jim buying them he evidentally is really not too interested or he would make the time to come out ...and he claims his job has him tied up which I understand 100% but I have doubts about him having time to spend with them if he does buy the. If they have not sold soon I think maybe I should keep them . The way gas prices are going up we may need them for transportation LOL .I hand this 100% over to the Lord cause it is out of my hands ...what will be will be !
