Question - Keeping on a Horse
If you had a horse for a couple of years, and gradually lost confidence and
ended up not riding it, the horse was still relatively young, would you keep
it. Even after spending time taking up Parelli then not using it (think it
was an excuse for not riding) then basically finding a field and dumping
said horse in it and only visitng it to throw hay over the fence? After all
that would you keep it for the sake of it or would you be practical about it
and think that its best place is with someone else who can do something with
it (not that there is a problem with the horse at all)
