so i found out last week that my favorite horse at my stable that i trained and fell inlove with is getting bought. Ive been crying because im going to miss him, but ive finally relized i have to let him go, he needs a home. the only problem is I'm training to be in Hunter Division for next showing season and my stable doesnt have the best jumpers. they have a couple they want me to try. the first horse is a black horse whos soposed to be western but he jumps pretty decent, but im not a fan of his huge strides, and how slow he is. The second horse is a bay and he will jump anything but hes not very pretty and his jumping is sloppy. the third horse is a pony that will jump anything but is always lame, so we dont know if its worth the training then at the show shes lame. the last horse well i have a grudge against him because they traded this horse (i rode for years and i was the only one who rode him and i fell in love with him) for him. but hes a great jumper but hes really fast. who should i try? what would you do?
Try all of the horses, and if none work look elsewhere. You don't have to buy from your stable-Actually, it's generally a bad idea, because everyone has a biased view. Example: If you've listened to the trainer talk about how wonderful Blackie is for years, you probably would look past some of Blackies faults if you wanted to buy him. However, if you were coming from elsewhere and didn't know anything about Blackie except what was on the ad, you'll likely see those faults and consider them.
I would go with the last one. He seems to be the best for your problem. Remeber it's not his fault he was traded for one you liked. You can't really have a grudge against a horse. You don't realise it but he doesn ' t care if he replaced a million horses you liked. he just wan't ta be loved (yes I said loved!! ^ _ ^. It's ok ta use the word love with horses, just don't be gross.) I ' m sure he likes you. good luck!
Try all of them, you never really know how they might go with you
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com The third horse probably would we the one not too choose because of her lameness
The last one you have a grudge against would probably be the right one for what your wanting but really you never know until you, yourself has ridden them.
Goodluck
I would ride the horse you have a grudge against. Just because he replaced another horse doesn't mean its his fault. If I were going to blame someone for selling my favorite horse and getting another one, I would blame the people who sold it. You might end up loving this one even more.
You have a horse available who is a great jumper, but you have a grudge against him? The horse had no control over being bought and sold, so your grudge is pointless. If you are serious about showing, then go with the horse best suited to it.
The bay sounds great. Who cares if he's sloppy. If you can train a jumper, then you can improve him. Just work with him and work with him and he might be great.
I really think that you should ride the horse you have a grudge against. I mean, if he is really that good and there is no other horse use him. But I understand how hard it could be to ride him. And if you get really sad when you ride, the horse will sense your feelings and start not doing well. Try the other horses as well and see if there is one that you think may work. If you don't like any, look at horses in another stables to see if there is anyone there.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com It probably is hard for you, but try and ride Mr.Grudge (My temporary name), if you think about it, the more you ride him you will/may be getting as close as you may to the other horse. And the possibility is that someone else loved that horse as much as you loved the other one. Think about. When you ride Mr.Grudge, you get close to the other horse because you traded this one for him.
I hoped I helped and Good Luck!
"Love" with animals is sick, it's rape, i would seek mental help.
