    well, this is sad... we may either have to sell my horse as a companion only or have him put down... the vet hasnt come yet but we know that my horse has an old stifle injury that leaves him unable to be ridden and partly because of that he's going somewhat lame... its really sad because he always tried his hardest even when he hurt...( i just was informed that he had this injury) i will miss him either way... i would keep him but my dad doenst want to 'waste' money on a horse that cant do anyhting...i hate this sooooo much...BYE

    i am so sorry, i know what it feels like to see a horse you love but you cant ride it, it hurts even worse when you know someone else owns it and you see them riding it. I know your pain

    I am sorry to hear about your horse. My horse is lame right now and I am not sure what is going on with him. I am going to call the vet if he is not better in a couple more days. Good luck and I hope all works out for you.

    I know this is a hard decision for you to make, but here's some things for you to look at..............

    Do you really want to sell him and let someone else injure him more? Even if you sell him as a companion they may try to ride him or sell him again to make some money.

    If this injury is making his life unbearable, the kindest thing you can do is put him down and keep the memories of him forever and knowing he is not in any pain and in peace.

    I've had to make this decision 3 time now in my life, and this time I"m going through also, I have decided to keep one mare and breed her and have her awesome temperment and trainability be passes down to her offspring. She isn't sound at a lope, and she isn't in pain, just not rideable for the mountainous riding I do so this is the best choice for my situation.

    Good Luck with your choice, feel free to contact me.....
