Alice is 14, Alice love to ride. We don't currently have a horse suitable for her to compete. Let me re-phrase, it is very hard, given the sport we do, to share the one suitable horse we have. Unfortunately, I own 3 horses. One is almost 26, and not sound enough to do much, but is not in so much pain that I feel it's her time yet. Trump is 19 this year, and not quite sound enough to compete, but I am keeping my eyes open for a lease home for him. Even if I do find a placement for him, I will still have to cover some of his expenses and be able to bring him home when necessary, as he is 'high maintenance' to keep what soundness he has. So really, I have to decide between putting away the mare that's been in my family since her birth and allowing my kid to further her riding skills on her own horse. Horses are expensive, not so much in the purchase price, but the monthly cost. So we have a poll. And please comment with thoughts.
