Tell me not to!

[Amirah]

I have three, it's a good number, not sure I'd want a fourth though. Go for it!!

 

[PurBee]

Because, sub-consciously, you know deep down that you really do need a third horse......

3 horses are sooo essential - all my pair bonded horse issues will instantly disappear with 3 horses - but can they become 3some bonded?! ??

 

[HeyMich]

So, when's he/she arriving? ??

 

[DabDab]

^ this!
I find 3 becomes a bit oppressive if they are all in work. I don't mind for a short time but would not plan it to be a long term thing.
but yeah, wrong place to be talked out of it really

? How many is it you have again?

 

[ycbm]

To buy or not to buy ... that is equestrian.

Fabulous ?????

 

[milliepops]

? How many is it you have again?

1 in work!
6 pets
Its not the same ?

 

[spotty_pony]

If you can afford to and have the the time then I say go for it! ? I'd get a third one tomorrow if I had the funds available to buy one now.

 

[babymare]

Why is arguement NOT to buy??

 

[Lois Lame]

It's too far away to make viewing a fun trip out ...... so if it's still there after the weekend I'll ask for video and ........ buy it unseen!

That's a terrible idea

I reckon you should make the trip, see and ride in person, and only then, if you love the horse, organise to buy him.

If you know you can deal with the day to day stuff for 3 and you can rest easy with the regime go for it. I have 3, 2 in full work and a mini who is there to make me smile every day. I'm planning a 4th but need a good healthy budget and a bit more time to do them justice. Life is too short, no horse is ever standing in a field wishing they had more work, if you can give the care and keep them healthy and reasonably fit they'll be better off than many horses out there. Enjoy and don't forget to share lots of photos.

See, a friend with 2 just bought her own property, with 3 stables. She wants to put her mare in foal, by taking her to the stallion. She obviously needs a 3rd to keep her gelding company. I say get the third.

 

[Lyle]

Buy the horse.

I have some how found myself going from 2 to 14 in two years. Oh My. Doesn't help that my OH is an enabler

 

[luckyoldme]

If you don't at least view him/her you will spend the rest of your life wondering.
Hope that helps ,!

 

[Keith_Beef]

3 is a nice number ?

It's the magic number.

3 horses are sooo essential - all my pair bonded horse issues will instantly disappear with 3 horses - but can they become 3some bonded?! ??

A similar thought came to me when posting in another thread... Could three be a couple?

 

[planete]

It must be something special if you are prepared to buy it unseen. If sanity has not returned by Monday go ahead.

 

[Winters100]

I tend to take the view that if the right horse comes along and you can afford it then why not. 2 of mine were purchased at a time that I was not looking to buy, but they are perfect for me so I am very happy that I did buy them. As I am sure you know you tend to get more efficient the more horses you have, one of mine has been away in the hospital this week and I can't say that I spend noticeably less time with only 2. If you do buy the horse I wish you all the best of luck that it turns out to be the perfect partner

 

[Bellaboo18]

I'm a little confused because you posted this thread over 12 hours ago and I still cant find the thread 'look who's arriving tomorrow'. ??

Of course you need the horse. Looking forward to seeing pictures! I think three is a lovely number especially when you keep them at home.

I just enjoy risk taking, it's in my DNA ?

First laugh of the day ?.

 

[Trouper]

I think we need more info - not asking for pictures (yet!) - but what attributes would this "new" one bring to the party please??

 

[J&S]

You have two lovely riding horses at home already, I am at a loss to know why you need another unless you are considering divesting yourself of one of the present horses?

I've had up to five in the past, when I had less time because I was working. It's only in the last 2 years I've had less than three.

[ycbm]

This feels like it might just be beginning to get a bit heavy. I'd just like to add that my title and post were tongue in cheek for a bit of light hearted forum fun.

The horse is real though. I'm waiting on some video.

[CanteringCarrot]

This thread is not fun. This thread is absolutely worthless...




Without pictures. ?


Standing by waiting for details and the obligatory "Well, I did it!" post. ?

 

[Xmasha]

As others have said ..3 is a great number when you have them at home

I’m always in the camp that’s thinks life’s too short just do it

However before you buy .. just ask yourself why are you doing it . What aren’t you getting from the other two you have and could this one fill that void . Otherwise you could just be buying for buyings sake and that’s when you could end up buying the wrong one

good luck , I look forward to seeing the photos ?

 

[meleeka]

If you want the horse, buy the horse! It’s not as if you don’t know how much work 3 entails. As I said to someone the other day “what else are you going to do with the rest of your life?”

Looking forward to news too

 

[dogatemysalad]

Nope. Cannot think of a single reason why you shouldn't get a third horse. Nope, not one. Sounds like a good idea.

 

[southerncomfort]

I have to admit, the thought of going back to 3 fills me with horror!

I must admit I find 3 hard work, and one of mine is a mini shetland!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

A similar thought came to me when posting in another thread... Could three be a couple?

I think I agree with you, a couple is rigidly 2. Three is a thruple... although when I think about the thruple of horses I have, I think CM would swap the gelding for a stallion given the option. The poor girl gets very frustrated with his lack of sex drive (although she does adore him).

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I've got no intention of riding 3 in one day ?

If I was nearer to you I would offer to ride one for you
