Reading another thread got me thinking. Surely not every horse is sold because it is no good? A lot of buyers - and ok so they may be feeling negative - think so. What are your thoughts?
Poll - why did you sell your last horse?

I recently sold a pony that had a decent record BE/BD and was a brilliant hunter over the stiffest shires country, he sold to a lovely family through a pro eventer as I really didn't want to sell him but had to as I had been out of work for 4 months. I had run out of money and even though I then got a job there would have been no money for competing this year and I had to sell the lorry as well so we would have had no transport. He sold for quite a lot of money but really is the genuine article and they have already won and been placed in dressage and eventing at pc level after less than 2 months so are delighted. Not everything that is sold has a problem - it broke my heart selling him but I really had no option - it was the house or the pony and i am afraid and in my mind there was no choice. He has gone to the most wonderful experienced home and as the girl is only just 12 he will be there for a good few years!
