OK, I have been trying to sell my pony for ages, at the moment he is at a yard with no hacking, and no social life for me. I do not enjoy riding him there, avoid it when possible.
I can't find a yard that suits both me and him, also he gets upset when moved.
Should I go back to a yard I left last year, it has limited hacking, but only roads, and they are not ideal. The arena floods in winter and the YO is totally inflexible, but the horses are brought in and put out, so in theory, I only have to go up once if I leave an outdoor rug on him.
Why is this all so difficult, there is nothing wrong with the horse, just cannot sell him. I think he is priced correctly, he needs a long term home as he gets upset when moved. I can't even find a sharer, though it would be more likely at the other yard.
I have been paying an instructor to school him to make him more saleable, but this is not working, people come and ride him and he behaves nicely, does what they ask, what more can I do, sigh.
