One Bad Week

Wow, you know it really sucks when the weeks starts out bad and just gets worse and by friday you hope nothing else happens! On Monday a stallion we are standing came up for being positive for a microbial infection so we can't breed anything to him right now. On Tuesday we brought a mare in to wait for her to foal, well she wasn't doing anything monday night and so my boss didn't watch her. He came out tuesday morning and found the baby with it's head stuck under the belting in our stalls unable to nurse or anything. They got a hold of the vet who was in price with me at the humane society clinic and he told them what to do while i flew down there as fast as i could to help. The baby was doing ok and seemed to be getting stronger, but at 3:30 they called and said the baby passed away. On Wednesday, i had turned my filly that i am riding out in the arena to run off a little bit of steam before i rode her and she took off at a dead run and slid right into the fence and skinned herself up quite a bit. And hopefully last but not least, i e-mailed the guy who i had bought my new stallion from, contract signed and everything, and he replyed back, 2 days before i am to bring this horse home!, that he has decided he wants to keep the horse for himself and he isn't going to sell it. I was devastated! How could someone do that, wait two days before you bring something home to say that they want to keep it. We have mares waiting to be bred to him and have paid insurance, got testing done, and everything, and he backs out! Makes me so mad but sad at the same time. Now i have to go to the show this weekend and face him. Will keep everyone updated! Hopefully this week won't get worse!
