i had my last mare PTS she was 6. purely as she was ill and nothing could cure her except living out - she was a field ornament who i couldnt afford for the next twenty years doing nothing.... nor could i risk giving her away.
ive sold my first horse who was a nutter and should have been put...
first time i got him to muck out........ second time i got him riding my horse :D
i love him but horsey time is my time :D i dont mind sharing horse time occasionally but hes not horsey and just does it to amuse me and irritate me as hes a natural rider :D
Probably not qualified to comment...im selling my horse as i want a house/life etc - i cant afford even a house with a horse - so one has to go [horse]
i couldnt imagine having a horse and a baby.... time as well as money...
there are always horses - no matter how attached we are - my mare...
My boyfriend thinks my horse is 'cool'... probably as he only sees her every few weeks and dosent gethalf the crap that goes with it
I did say a couple of weeks ago about selling up as i just had enough - i was met with a dont you dare... and suddenly more plans to see the horse....

mines insured - but a lot go over the insurance....
in all honesty i wouldnt put mine through colic surgery - even if it was an endless pot of money...

even at 5 im wary about touching if it hasnt been backed.
defo better value in backed v unbacked tho...
yes
hated it... was miserable and had more money...
was happy for about a month - then wondered wtf was i meant to do.......
she went out on loan and circumstances as they were meant i got her back anyhow [i was plannign to buy another the following year and leave her there but didnt work...
i would have said a moody mare 12 month ago and i hated her
now shes a ten.....
i thought my last horse was a horse of a lifetime - this one is something else :]
i have better things to do :D
at an old yard a long time ago - the yo made us stamp them down, slightest bit of rain too they didnt go out - or if they were out they came in.
Yard im on now, rolls and harrows so we have no need - and FWIW - we have tons of grass :D
some little cretin killed a cat a few years ago...he didnt even bother to stop.
I pulled over and bundled the [unfortunately] dead cat into the car and took it to the local vets - for a chip...sadly nothing -but i think its the best thing to do
i always stop - even that night i had my...
