I have noted these types of posts for some time, and boy, do they really bother me! I am sure I will be setting the cat among the pigeons here, but some people seem to collect horses without thinking through the consequences of when they get older, the rider's needs change, money is short, or whatever & then they post, asking advice on selling their older horse. I really think ALL owners need to accept responsibility for their horses. It is difficult-to impossible to sell an older horse, and to me incredibly sad to read these. When you buy a horse & keep him through his best years, you MUST make provision for his retirement -either keep him, find retirement livery, or if all else fails & you have no money, then have enough in the bank to put to sleep. Thoughts, anyone?
