Why is it, after you have made the incredibly difficult decision to sell your horse (bought as a happy hacker but won't go out alone!) that you have the best ride ever??!! Schooled him today and did not put a foot wrong, tractor drove right up his backside from behind and apache helicopter flew over his head! Bothered? Nope, not one bit. and I fell in love with him all over again. How annoying! Still, think he would have been a little b*gger if I'd tried to hack him out!! :D
 
I think they call it sods law!!!! It's typical and will make you feel different after you've made a big decision!! Have you had any interest in him?
 
I think you're right ha! haven't advertised him yet as waiting for his passport to get updated, but the annoying thing is he's practically perfect in every other way! Proven this morning as he galloped up to me in the field!! (not exactly difficult to catch!!)
 
so making you feel guilty...maybe he knows??!! Sounds like a difficult situation if he's perfect in every other way, is there any way you can work on the hacking alone and improve that so you can keep him?
 
bit like making a doctors appointment and then suddenly feeling better it's sods law i'm afraid.

You must have thought long and hard about selling him to be so sure so keep in mind what he's like to hack if that is what you want from a horse then I think it's sensible to sell him - not easy though *hug*
 
Ahhhhhhh Bb, I have tried but I work full time and I know that he WILL go out alone with some time and effort put into him, as when i was on holiday over easter he got better every day but I just don't have the time myself to do it. Plus he really enjoys his schooling and he would be great for someone wanting to do dressage, but i just want something I can drag out of the field at weekends and go for a plod about on :( he is a really lovely horse though and i love him a lot which is why he has to go really to someone who can give him a job to do.
 
Thats fair enough, I know it's difficult with working and having the time. He sounds lovely so I shouldn't imagine you'd find it too difficult to find him a good home, just be fussy about his new home, it's always worrying thinking about where they are going but hopefully you can find someone who cares about him as much as you do...there are good people like us out there somewhere!!!
