Following on from the rearing horse thread...
What 'issues' would people consider make a horse unsuitable for rehoming?
I think selling any horse can have potential to go wrong but what would make you think, nope they're staying here for good or PTS rather than re-home?
What makes it too risky?
Out of my three, I'd be confident selling two, they're both nice natured and i just couldn't imagine them showing dangerous behaviour...although who knows in a completely unsuitable environment?
The other I think is close to being unsuitable to re-home, she's a 'sensitive' exracer. I'd definitely have to be careful where she went but then the concern would be if she was sold on.
She's never reared or bucked and is a straightforward ride but she becomes very stressed on the ground with any change in routine and I think it *could* go downhill quickly.
What's everyone else's view? What couldn't you sell on?
