well i have had cassey almost a year now, and she was bought as a horse that needed to move on and learn me and get rid of some of the bad habits she has. and recently after coming back off a holiday with her, i have realised that she is complete. she is what i wanted and is now perfect and listens to what i say, obviously the odd naughty day, but thats a mare for you. so now she has gone from a bolshy, head strong 5 yr old 14.2hh mare that hasnt done much into a 6 yr old well mannered 14.2hh (most of the time) mare who can jump 3ft 9 and have taken xc and hunted. i have only hunted once and been xc once, but i have this feeling in my stomach that now she is perfect i do WANT her but i dont NEED her, and yes she is the most amazing mare in the world, and i still have a lot more to do, such as more xc and jumping at the hunt, and to do some shows, but i still have this feeling, i know that i dont want to sell her and its just my head playing tricks on me because i know afterwards, once im starting to do some new stuff, such as ode and things she will start to shine again and ill be happy as ever, i just need someone to tell me that this feeling is just a phase that i will soon get over? has anyone else felt this, but then kept there horse, and is now happy still?
 
I don't really understand why you would want to sell her as she now sounds like a perfect horse! You should keep her and make the most of her, I'm sure you'll find loads of fun things to do and learn together. :)
 
So you have your perfect horse?
Thing is you only realise what you have when you've lost it.
Nobody NEEDS a horse but we have them because we enjoy them. I'm sure you have plenty of enjoyment left in your mare.
Why don't you take a fews days off from horses, get a friend to look after your mare and see how you feel after a few days.
Try riding different horses, even if it means at a riding school and see how they compare to your mare...you might even learn something new that you can try with her?
I think everyone goes though phases and asks themselves why they are they doing this...normally it's on a cold, raining, windy day when you have to be at the yard at 6am...or when a huge vet bill pops though the front door!!!
I'd have more money, more time, see my hubby more, I wouldn't sit at work worrying if I've put the right weight rug on or feeling guilty because it's raining and he has no rug on if i didn't have horses but then they do something that reminds you that they are worth the time and effort.
