...Obviously unless there is some desperate crisis...
Well you said you wanted some new threads, and this one gets people going!
I'll start by saying I have nothing but admiration for people who will keep their horse(s) no matter what. But I have never seen my horses as permanent family members and I don't and won't shy away from making the decision to sell or give away for one reason or another.
I look after them very well when I have them. I make sure that if/when they move on, they go to a suitable home. At the moment I can't imagine ever selling Charlie. But Heidi will be outgrown in the next few years and she'll be moving on I expect. And I'm always interested in new projects and new challenges.
There are often lots of judgmental comments made when a poster talks about selling/gifting their horse, which I always think is really harsh, so I thought I'd throw open the debate and see what people think.
