A Big Question.....

[_OC_]

........if you had to give up your horse(s) what would be the reason why?

 

[connie1288]

I think it would be lack of money, or realisation that i really dont have the talent to do it. Even if i did give up i would try to keep 1 to have fun on!!

Money!

 

[Sarahgema]

time - if it wasnt fair to keep them!

 

[DiablosGold]

If I was going to move to another country, or if I lost my job and finances were in a bad way.

Although tbh I would consider full loaning first.

Unfortunately already been through the situation

Following an accident (not horse related) I can't look after a horse right now and can't work so no money for a horse either so had to sell my two. Luckily both daughters still have their horses and as one still lives at home (daughter, horse at livery) I get to clean some tack, wash sweaty numnahs (after inhaling aroma deeply

) and now I'm getting a bit more mobile I even get trusted to go and feed occasionally!!

I had to give up my mare 20 years ago to move away from home for a job (as a groom). the woman wouldn't let me bring her with and when I phoned to tell her I'd sold the mare she told me she'd given my job to some lad who'd come into the yard that morning looking for a job - claimed I'd "dithered" about whether I wanted the job or not ...

She'd the bare faced cheek to phone me a month later pretending she'd no idea who I was asking if I was interested in a job as a groom ...

It would be if i was not enjoing it anymore, or money!

 

[hellspells]

If I couldn't physically do it or money was so tight and I couldn't keep them in the manner in which they have become accustomed.

Money probably, but luckily mum and dad have always been really supportive of me and my horsey pipe-dreams so they would never see me without.

 

[NikkiF]

Yup same for me, lack of money or physically unable to care for them. Mind you, given the cr*p weather this winter, the thought of giving up has occasionally gone through my mind.........very fleetingly though

 

[merlinsquest]

If I stopped enjoying the summer...... the winter is pants anyway

Or if he became nasty for any reason (he is a lovely natured horse)..... I dont do nasty

Money.... Obviously.....

Other than that.... cant think of anything

 

[kerilli]

same as hellspells, only physical problems, or serious lack of money, would make me get rid of my horses. i love competing though and if i didn't have that to aim for, i wouldn't ride at all, i think.

 

[rips01]

it would have to be the only option left
