I can honestly say I've never had a "horse of my lifetime" since my lifetime isn't over (yet...). I've had horses which I got along with famously, and those that didn't do it for me, and obviously liked the former better than the latter, but at no time did I think I'd never find another horse which I could enjoy. Maybe it's because I have had 100's of horses through my hands (pro rider/trainer/breeder for many years; I'm also coming up to 50 years in the horse game), but if I don't like a horse I sell it on; if I really like it I keep it. Horses are all different, there's bound to be more than one that suits you out there.
Yes but Cortez you say you can sell a horse on if you don't like it, but most of us would never buy it in the first place and we are buying and taking more time to find the perfect horse before we vet it so our horse become family members. So we don't disposed of them like a snap of fingers, but work through any issues that might crop up. I have NEVER sold a horse because I didn't want it ro did not get on with it, and vow I never will sell a horse till 2012, when I half owned a pretty dun tb and only sold my share of her due to trying to save my mare of a lifetime who was not insured so need every penny, otherwise I would never given up my half.
MY only lucky thing is I have my second mares son so I still feel I have part of her here. He maybe a grumpy GIT. , but he is MY grumpy git and I love him so.
