morning all, well after my mare broke my toes on fri night and thinking about things all weekend, ive decided i think its time to sell my lovely mare.

ive had her for 2 years now and although i sort of rescued her and brought her on, she is becoming more and more of a challange. she has come so far since i brought her but now this is the third time ive been injured by her (accidential) and i just feel that she would benefit from someone with more experience and time for her. I feel really guilty because i love her so much but am starting to loose my confidence more and more and i dont think its doing either of us any good. plus the fact im looking at poss going to uni to do a saddlers diploma in Sept (still thinking about it).

please someone assure me that this is the right choice?
 
simple things like bringing her in from the field (a distance, of about 2 meters) and shes constantly rearing and bucking, she now charges when im poo picking and shes in there. i cant groom in the stable unless theres another horse in as she treads all over me. shes becomming more and more nappy and i just dont know that i have the stamina to continue with her.

to be fair to her she has come along long way since i got her but my confidence has plummeted and i think she would do better with a more experienced home.
 
Do you think there could be something wrong with her??

I have to say that I would not pass on a horse that displays those kind of aggressive, domineering tendancies. From what you describe lord knows where she would end up and what her fate would be.........
 
i would totally agree with you normally, but i just dont know what to do. over here we do not have the facilities to have her re-schooled by professionals. the other thought that had crossed my mind was to send her to a re-habilitation centre where professionals could work with her. i just dont really know what to do.
 
not at the moment. im on a private yard with only 2 other people who have no more time than me really. once out riding she is great but back at the yard she just completey plays up.
 
I think that if you have got to the point where it is no longer fun I would find her a new home. it sounds like you have been perserving and I think if I felt like you do about her I would let her go to. There will be someone who will look after her well and be able to cope with her.

Lifes too short to spend with a horse you no longer enjoy. I would sell her and go find yourself one that you want to spend time with.

thanks diesel dog thats what i have realised. i cant spend the next 10 years with her hurting me all the time. i just have to find the right knowledgeable home for her.
