okay i have to choose

I just bought this 12 yr old qh gelding (will) i love love love love love love him to death but i dont really think hes the horse i could really do 2 much with hes loveable gentle pretty but we think he has some illments ect but see i finally got him to canter ect.

so i could buy a younger horse and start all over and train it myself


i cant choose what do u think

My Advice

I can understand how you feel. Well you'll have to figure out how much time you have. If you don't have enough time to work with a young horse everyday then you should stick with Will. But if you have a lot of time and are up for a challenge maybe a young horse is right. Don't give up on Will though, you might just need to find what inspires him to do more. I'm personally a fan of young horses, but I fell in love with a 16 y/o gelding who I would take over 5 young horses!!

What I would do

Well, if I was in your shoes, I would find an amazing home for Will where you could see him a lot. That way you can start working with the 3 y/o. Training a horse gives you a great bond and I'm sure you'd be able to understand each other better. You'll be able to be competetive and get somewhere.

Yeah, I know how that feels. A trainer I work for just sold two of his horses. Honestly I wouldn't have let the people who bought them near the horses if they were mine. The one lady who bought one had almost no idea how to ride. I recently found out that she fell of and broke her ankle. Maybe having a 30-day trial would be a good thing. They would have some time to decide whether they really want him and you can make sure that they're a fitting home for him. It's hard to pretend to be good for 30 whole days.
