Would you keep a horse that you were unhappy with?
I have done that yes, Lady was a rescue pony and when I took her on I feel that I committed myself to giving her a home for life. I had numerous problems with her during the first two years and was advised to get rid of her many, many times. I'm very pleased I didn't listen as although there are some things she will never be able to do, she is settled with me and I adore her.
Would you keep a horse if you felt it was unhappy with you?
No, the welfare and 'happiness' of my animals is very important to me and no matter how hard it was I would like to think I would do the right thing if they were suffering or should signs of unhappiness.
If the horse doesn't click with you, would you sell it or would you persevere for as long as it took to try to make it click with you?
Apart from Lady, I've only ever had horses I clicked with instantly so I can't really answer that.
