What do u think of my horse?

No one really knows just what your horse is actually like. If you aren't satisfied with your horse, you could either lease him out or find a good home with a child for him. BUT, do your homework and be sure he goes to a good home. You could also have a clause in the contract that states if they decide not to keep him in the future, they would let you know, or they will not take him to an auction.

A horse of 17 may or may not continue to be active enough for you. Are you sure you don't want a slightly younger horse?

Hopefully, the horses don't have to stand on the hard tiles, too long.

I don't know if you realize that your old horse has a 99% chance of ending up in a kill pen at the slaughter auction shortly after you sell him. Loaded onto a cattle truck, smashed in with too many other horses, shipped thousands of miles to Canada or Mexico with NO breaks for water or food and then slaughtered.

Personally, I don't ever sell my old horses for this reason. Better to have them put down than suffer that fate. Basically if you sell your old horse, you are throwing him away. And by the way, do the math- 17 years old is only 3 years younger than the horse you already have.

looks like an honest guy. . .all folks who are into horse sports move up. Change horses, maybe there is a youngster who will love him as you did for a few more years. Nothing is permanent. He'd be better off being used that being forgotten someplace.

Cute

I feel badly for your old faithful horse who it sounds like is about to be discarded. Rehoming a horse at 20years is a risky move for him. The moment he gets arthritis etc... he will either be used in pain through it without the person noticing or caring OR he will be sold to an even less skilled owner or the meat truck. Why not use your old horse and keep him comfortable in his retirement as he deserves.

I would make some good sausages out of that horse I am Chinese/black
