Demon exorcist...
ive got a 4yr youngster.. due to an injury in july ive been out of action since, im awaiting a second op that today im informed will see me out of action again for up to 3 months. long term still dont know if i will ever get full use of my left hand back.
ive posted about said horse before being a handful, ive since figured out if he is in work the problems are not there.
he was bought by me to compete in the show ring.. hes a quality horse.
but im at a loss what do to with him, hes 4, been backed.. hes ridden by kids in walk and trot in a school.
ground work wise he does it all leads off another horse, lunges jumps anything is bold as anything on the roads (not ridden only backed as i say but hes been out on long reins, led and ponied..)
the down side is he is 17hh and can be a complete ***** to handle. and he does have what id say is attitude. and yes on occasion has been nasty.
all year ive not known the out come of my injury, ive hoped id be able to hold reins... its unlikley, whilst i appreciate i will still ride this wont be the horse for a semi disabled rider.
so bck to title.. do i sell..klnowing i wont get sod all for him, do i loan and at least he has a job. (he is county standard showing wise)
or do i leave him sat in field doing nothing and hope in 6-12 months i make a full recovery and can get him going and out showing??
money isnt an issue here, friend has him rent free atm, and when she has kids about at the weekends they pull him out ride him and during the week i pop up...
