Im in such a bad mood and need help TBH, although i know help wont solve my situation..

Anyways, long story .. Decided back in jan i would sell my haflinger this year due to the fact he wasnt getting the work he needed, was fat an looked depressed. In march i was ready to advertise him an managed to sort my feelings out an know i was selling him for his best interest he deserves more, i put him in the local paper but looking back i think i was too picky with the ad i wrote for him an every caller just didnt seem suitable so i thought id leave it a month an try again. Here comes the part...

a relative in my family said they wanted him an asked if they could pay for him in two weeks when they had the money, it was all agreed an he moved over to her yard an i saw him on the wkends to check him, after two wkends no money but he was in work an i didnt wanna take him back an just have him in a field bored again i was told the money would be ready for me asap so i thought ok, its family hes happy etc ... so now were in july, still, i have no money and im really starting to feel taken the pee out of basically, i just rang her asking her about the money an i just got told if i wanted to sell him i should take him back. Its really angred me, if she knew she never had the money why take him, i feel shes just been a huge timewaster, i didnt realise family would treat you in such a way!!

Anyways, im now in the situation of him coming back an to keep him in full time work which will be a struggle i must admit, now having a youngster... i really need to sell him i dont have the time for two and the youngster is my type of horse...But i know being a haflinger they arent always easy to sell and im just ...arggghh ... dunno what to do tbh

Maybe i said that wrong, but i know with my haffy i couldnt sell him to a child as he's just so strong, although that is just hacking, a 7yr old will ride him around the school and he jumps on a snaffle but hes no pony club type.. an its hard to find an adult around here that wants a "pony" given he's 14hh.. to ride...
 
I think that particular family member has taken advantage

I'd tell her she has 2 options - either pay you in full for horse or don't pay and you will take him back
 
i was thinking of that scotsmare but i dont think i trust her to sell him, shes prob just fob everyone off, shes told me last week how she wants to change his bit from a pelham on roundings to something stronger when i manage him in a snaffle? an how he bucks in canter when its never been a problem for me although ill admit when he doesnt wanna go somewhere, normally off the yard he will stop then do a little buck which really has no impact.
So prob just best to bring him home, im just gona have to deal with breaking my heart seeing him ago again an the joys of no doubt, more timewasters

A bit out of order, if that was me once the horse was back at mine id have beed straight round there for a few words. I meen good for you trusting a family member, i cant stand spongers like that and what did they gain from it all, just alot of resentment. Muppets!
