Hello
I know some people will be reading this and thinking what on earth are you worrying about BUT im a worrier its what i do best!
So ive decided to put one of my horses out on loan. I have 2x horses, one older forever horse, then an 11 yr old not right for me horse. Wasnt a problem keeping both of them, still isnt really but im nearly 8 months pregnant and the reality of having 2 horses, as well as not riding or doing anything with the perfectly fit 11 year old is overwhelming me.
I dont want to sell her, as want to keep her future safe and secure and wouldnt want her to be passed around so ive come to the decision putting her out on loan is the best option for her. Shes got no health worries other than a bog spavin that causes her no issues but for this reason i would want her to just be flatwork and hacking; vet has assessed and no concerns.
I dont know why but i know this decision is right for me, im feeling totally overwhelmed and its making me low, but also feeling so guilty too. I know people buy and sell horses all the time but i have this attachment to animals and always have the attitude that once you commit to an animal etc. But on the other hand i see her in the field not doing anything and i think what a waste. I havent advertised her but have asked around my kind horsey friends for word of mouth advertising.
I dont really know what im doing with this, half of me wants to sign her over to a rescue to go through one of their loan schemes (im aware they are all full) and the other half wants for a lovely loanee to come along and everything be fine and dandy. I think im just dreaming but anyone who has been in this position before and could offer advice, it would be gratefully received.
