If you were offered 25K for your horse - would you take it?

Would depend on how attached I was to the horse I guess. If it was my horse and did everything I wanted it to and I enjoyed it and trusted it 100% then no, I wouldn't accept any offer. If I was unsure about me and the horse being a match and I wasn't 100% happy with the horse then i probably would (although would depend on who was offering the money!!)
 
if it was for either of the 2 competition youngsters I have for sale then yes. However, no amount of money would part me from two of my broodmares.
 
It depends how special that horse was to me & how skint I was. I've been offered large sums for my pony in the past when she was younger, but as she was always a pet who just happened to be valuable I always said no. But I think under normal circumstances most people would say yes, assuming the offers above market value & it's a good home.
 
If I had an ace horse that ticked ALL the boxes for me NO!

If I knew I could get another like the £25k horse I would sell(if I wasnt bothered).

If someone had so much money to offer me this kind of money I would worry that money was not necessarily the best home. Lots of people with money where I am but not sure they are the best owners etc.

Good luck though interesting post...I know a family who would offer £££ for horses and when they tired of them just got rid of and got another.
 
A definite no. My boy is priceless and is worth more to me than any amount of money possibly could. He is my horse of a lifetime and I would never find another exactly like him.
 
No - I wouldnt part with him. Hes done so much for me, helping me get my confidence back, teaching me so much and he tries his heart out for me and has the kind of character that every horse owner dreams of. He deserves a home for life, and he has one with me :)
 
Oh yes, if you say no you must have to much money :)
I would love to see that sort off money in my bank. I would go everyday just to look at the balance :)
 
My 2 are part of my family and so like my OH - as much as I'd love to be able to get some cash from him, especially when he pi55es me off - I would feel too guilty in the end, so no. :D That would pay off our debts and I could buy so much, BUT I'd be without my baby girls.

I've been through so many tears and triumphs with them, that they're priceless.
Yeah, they could break a leg the next day and I'd be without them, or I could have them, if I'm lucky for many years until they're old.
 
Not for my current horse, but he's nearly 20 so it's a bit different.

However, if it was the situation you're in then yes I would.

A friend of mine was in the same situation, declined, and two years later the horse is a field ornament and I know it plays her her mind a lot. Even though he means the world to her!

I'd do it. Plentry more horses out there as blunt as that may sound.

No, and no I'm not rich :p I was offered £15k for him at our first competition (he cost well under £2k) but even then I didn't consider it.

I would much rather go everyday to look at my horse in the field than money in the bank :)
 
In realistic terms the horse would have to be of a very high standard to get that type of money. If I knew he was talented beyond me I would certainly let him or her go so that they could fulfil their potential, in some ways I would feel I was being selfish holding them back from doing and being something they could be.

If someone approached me and I thought they were a blithering idiot who knew nothing about horses but just thought mine was pretty and they wanted it no matter what and had more money than sense... then No. I would tell them I would move into their million pound yard with top facilities and take all my horses and they would be allowed to pet her on the nose and perhaps walk her round to cool her off.. but only under my supervision. :D
 
No, not for any money in the world. She owes me nothing and is my life.

And no I am not rich in the slightest!!
 
For my boys? No, I couldn't. I couldn't stand to see their little faces as I walked away. It would break my heart. Never.
