Should I sell my 5 year old mare?
Since my mare retired, then died, I have been searching for the perfect replacement. I had her since she was born and she lived nearly 30 years. She was a Buckskin. I love Buckskins.
Ok well last summer I bought a little mare that needed some work. Buckskin of course. BEAUTIFUL.
They said she had ground work and had been saddled. So I decided to see what she was about. I promptly ended on the ground...with her on top of me. Seems she likes to rear up and over. UGH.
Longer story a little shorter, Months of working with her, injuries to others, a few successful trail rides, ...She suffers an injury to her hind leg. She is down for a month. Welcome back the attitude. So I sent her to a trainer for a month. Went to pick her up. Tried her out at the trainers to see her progress, and she takes to Bucking! Not hard bucking but bucking none the less. I am getting too old for this. So I ask you, should I sell her and keep looking? I love her.
Here is a link if you want to see her.
