I'll be giving away this A papered 2nd gen stud and Blue papered 2nd gen mare together :) they are open to everyone as they have no licensed genes. They will be a great jumpstart to higher papered, higher pt lines.

This year has been an interesting one to say the least. I want to know what is something you have learned this year, good or bad, that has helped you grow as a person.

I will use a random number picker to choose a number for the winner so everyone gets a chance. The giveaway will end Monday January 4th at midnight game time! The winner will be able to pick them both up in my private chatroom when the giveaway is over.

I learned that while we have to experience distance learning right now, it is not as bad as what one of mum's coworkers neighbors had to go through when she was my age.
She couldn't go to school or the library for 5 years because of World War 2. She said that she and her siblings were in occupied Poland and they were not allowed outside, and they could not read any books they did not own because it was to dangerous.
They were able to get all their school work caught up in under 2 years of the war ending. I think that is the most amazing part of it.

I cannot wait to hear more of her stories.

I'm generally okay on my own. I can spend weeks working on the farm talking to next to no one and be perfectly happy. But because I had never bothered to nurture many relationships in my life I realized when I got sick after having my daughter a few years ago that my self imposed isolation meant I had no support system and no village. I suffered for months because I had no one to turn to.
I've been prioritizing relationships and pouring into the people around me for almost 2 years now but when Corona hit I was so sad about going back to isolation, only to realize that I wasn't alone. I have had more genuine relationships and more support during this pandemic than I've had most of my life.
This virus showed me that I'm no longer the person I was 3 years ago and I have friends that love me. I'm not doing life alone anymore.

I've learned 2 things.
The first is that you can't always count on people that you thought you could. But a mother's love is unconditional so I still love him no matter what.

The second is that I'm not as young as I used to be. **falls off chair in shock** It's time to make some changes in my life to make things easier for myself.

I need to learn something from Foxhntr26. I am good with my own company. I'm perfectly happy talking to my animals and can go weeks without talking to an actual person. But that also means that I don't really have a village either. My husband is gone from home for work except during winter and my sons don't live close. I need to work on the relationships with my few friends and grow them.

I've learned that my family (parents and siblings) I can be close with no matter how far away they are and that the doubt and sadness I experienced in 2019 about living away from people I know was really some post partum blues. Which is good because we moved to be closer and I realized I am just as far away from the people I want so when the time comes I think that I can move away with confidence and that even if I don't make friends right away I can always chat with my sister and that my husband will always be there even when life is tough.

Being isolated this year really stripped away the things I was relying on and distracting myself with and caused me to realize that I needed to development more independence and discipline. It was really hard to do but I'm starting the see the fruits from that hard work.

I like hearing about everything everyone has learned, seems like even when times are rough or difficult we find common ground in the same things :)

Out of the 5 of you, the random number picker chose #2, congratulations @Foxhntr26! They will be in my private chatroom for you! I hope they do well for you :D

@Keridwyn @Uaithnepairc @Dragonheir @Cleverwolf I have also put a horse up for each one of you as well :) I tried to pick something that you can use for your lines and has extra goodies genetic wise without needing a license. Your horses will have your stable name at the beginning of their name. I hope they all do well for everyone and I hope this year is better for everyone as well!
