I have a 14yr old who has had a different owner every 2yrs until I got him at 11yrs, I WILL be his final owner. While he is field sound he has enough quality of life to satisfy himself. He has taught me a huge amount and I owe him, even if that means I can't afford to keep another and therefore can't ride/compete one of my own. If he gets to the point where he is not field sound or is obviously unhappy then I will PTS. If you can't afford the basic vets fees (or insurance against them) then you can't afford to buy a horse in the first place IMHO.
