Do I want to sell my horse?

[MizElz]

Absolutely, 100% definitely not

But, believe it or not, today I was offered £15,000 for her - from the person we bought her from, eight years ago, for £3,000. I laughed at first; she's thirteen years old, and has done practically nothing competitively for the last three years, but the offer was serious - I guess a horse is worth what the buyer is willing to pay!

They could have added two zeros to the end, and I'd still never part with her

You have reminded me. When is your comp?

 

[katie_southwest]

Wow £15 000 thats a lot! Id say yes then run off with the money and horse

 

[Irishcobs]

Wow, its nice when people think you horse is worth alot of money.
Are you doing the hunt fun ride on the 25th?

 

[MizElz]

Madam_Max - we've decided not to jump at Cricklade as I had previously pondered - the ground is never great there, and without going HC, there isnt really anything for us - not the best conditions to stage a comeback! But we might head off to West Wilts clear round session next Tuesday

Irishcobs - dont think we'll be doing the fun ride as I believe it is the same day as Cricklade, where I now appear to have been roped in to help course build! Shame, as the ride sounds lovely!

Brilliant.

Winning on a horse you bought for an exceedingly large amount of money: £15,000

Not selling up the horse that you love and adore, no matter the offer: Priceless.

God u scared me then, i was about to lose all faith in the idea of people loving their horses too much to sell. I thought if MizElz is thinking of selling what is the world coming to?!

Phew.

I'm now all heartwarmed, especially after M_H_B's reply

 

[MizElz]

Hehe thought that would worry a few people!

My OH sat there last night and said, "if they added a zero you'd have to think about it, surely!"

What does he know!!!!

But there again, he's probably sell me for £15k, let alone £150k
