Hah, if only! He'd be on a trailer and headed home w/ me if that were the case.

Yeah, the bow looks pretty mild, so with a good vet check, I'd be willing to take a chance on him.

And I know what you mean about your heart racing; I had dreams about this horse last night!!!...

I saw that you posted his ad when I looked in the TX sport horse section a few minutes ago. Good idea, Purp! I really hope he gets snapped up by an eventer.

Good luck on finding a job and please...

Purp, I actually had you in mind when I posted this thread. Are you suuurrreee you can't take on another, and then blog about him, of course?? :winkgrin:

Baxtersmom, that guy is gorgeous as well!...

Anyone in or around Houston looking for an eventing prospect?

I know nothing about this horse or his connections, but he is so stunning that I...

This story is almost too mortifying to share, but here it goes. Safety 101 - FAIL!

In June of last year, my friend and I hauled my TB mare to the vet to have her stifles injected. The trailer ride...

Wow, Whowonit is gorgeous! I imagine he'll get snapped up quickly, cloudy eye and all.

Why are all the stunning free horses a good 1,200 miles away and $800 to $1000 in shipping fees?! Such a...

I posted a very similar thread about 2.5 months ago regarding my old mare: http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=288518&highlight=when+is+it+time+to+sell%3F

I almost posted this exact thread last week. :)

I bought my new horse (a TB) at the beginning of March from a bad situation. She was in pretty horrible shape (very underweight, no hoof care for 6...

I wanted to come back and update this thread.

My mare sold about a week and a half ago and I can not explain how relieved I feel. It was very difficult for me, as I had always thought of her as a...

Oh wow, this thread is making me feel ill. I have a sale pending on my mare.... just have to get through the vet check on the 21st. Similar situation as the OP: I've owned this mare for 6 years and...

So, I rode my mare last night and had those same feelings of frustration and annoyance about 5 minutes into the ride. I keep coming back to this thread and re-reading to help hammer into my head that...

I just wanted to bump this up to the top to thank everyone for the advice and kind words. I have decided to go ahead and put my mare up for sale. I spent the whole weekend making up excuse after...

I think this is part of the problem: selling her just feels like giving up. I've always consider all of my animals "lifers", but then I have to remember why I'm involved in this sport. If it was to...

Thanks for sharing your story, WishIwereRiding. Did you end up buying another horse, and how did that go?

Coincidentally, she is also my first horse.

A year ago, I would have said that she...

I've been pondering this for the last several months regarding my mare. First let me say that I'm posting this in the eventing forum, because that is what I ultimately want to do. I've schooled cc...

Thank you witherbee, he was the dog of a lifetime. He died in a horrible, shocking accident and I miss him everyday. :sadsmile:


didgery: so glad that you now know the joy of owning a Chihuahua....

I lost my soul-dog Elliot on June 20th of this year. Best, most loyal dog ever and my shadow for 11 years. They really do choose their person and the bond created is amazing. :sadsmile:

I experienced one of these moments with my mare this past week while on vacation from work.

I went to the barn around noon, which never happens on a week day. I got out of my car and hit the...

It's been awhile, so I'm not sure if I have the details 100%, but my mare had a flare-up of pedal osteitis in late 07'-early 08'. Her LF was the only foot affected and the sporthorse specialist I...

:lol: Ok, this whole thread I've been successfully holding in my laughter, but that one just pushed me over the edge!! :lol:

I feel for you guys, I really do. At my previous job the business...

Oh yeah, I've been drooling over He's my Tuff for weeks. That is some nice horseflesh! YUM!

Ok, ok, I'll tell you guys. This is the perfect name for a fat, sassy pony.

My husband rocks at coming up with names for our pets that he just pulls out of his butt. About a month ago he came up...

Well, she's fine and they are just fat pads. :lol: They did discover a few other minor things, though, so I'm definitely glad I brought her in. Let me tell you, I feel so much better!! :yes:

Thank you for the jingles, everyone. I really hope you are right about them being fat lumps.

I am worried that it is actually her kidneys being swollen and not fat or muscle.... You would think...
