This message is from: Janet McNally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There are many good reasons a horse will change homes a number of times. The example of the child's pony being sold as children grows is an excellent one. Circumstances change for the owners, such as a move, or change of employment. Horses are sold when owners feel their changed circumstances do not allow enough time to properly care for their horse. For myself, arthritis dictated that 20 mile rides was no longer in the cards for me, so I switched from riding to driving/draft work. My TWH gelding, who I raised since a yearling, and was a perfect gentleman, -loved- to eat up miles of trail, it was a shame and waste to have him sit idle in a pasture, so I sold him to someone who wanted a good trail horse.
Selling is not a negative when it means the horse is able to remain performing the kind of work and attention it enjoys. Janet
