Well, we've finally made the decision to sell one of our horses and need some advice on how much.
I'm absolutely heartbroken as I bought him as a just backed 3 year old but OH wants to BSJA and he's better suited to RC.
So a bit of background, he's 16.2, dutch warmblood x anglo arab, 9 years old and took OH from a complete novice 2'3 to qualifying for RC show jumping champs and winning festival of the hunter qualifier and team 3rd at the champs. He's won and been placed unaff dressage, SJ, ODE has hunted and is totally safe with a lovely personality but gets a bit stressy when other horses leave him (not dangerous, just loses concentration). He's won up to 3' unaffiliated SJ but not really happy going any higher. Also has pads in front after a foot imbalance last year, no probs now though.
Any ideas?
