I would really like to hear people's stories who have, for one reason or another, ended up with a horse they love dearly, but who can either no longer work at all, or can no longer do what you wanted to do with them, through injury.
What did you do? Did you keep the horse? What if you only had the resouces to have one horse, and having a second horse was not an option? Did anyone make a transistion from competition rider to happy hacker? Or from say show-jumping to dressage?
Morally, do you think someone in this situation should give the horse a home for life, or do you think they should look at othr options?
I do have personal interest in your stories, but my circumstances (which I won't bore you all with) have made me wonder what happens when other people end up in this situation - it must happen all the time...
Looking forward to reading some long and interesting posts!!!
