I'd go for b-not to sell your beloved horse.
I don't own my own horse but if I did I wouldn't sell it for the world:) Why would you want a new horse? is it becouse he's not very good at jumping?if it is you could train he more for jumping :)
I looked at his photo and he's really Gorgeous:D

keep me posted on what you decide:)

Ellie:D :p

I suppose I would stick with the one I have as he is a known quantity and if you love him, then keep him.

Does it really really matter how well he can jump - just keep him at his level and enjoy and appreciate what he can do. My mare is retired due to illness and I often think of all the things we didn't get to do and won;t now.

[Tor&Warrior]

It depends. If your really competitive and feel you need to get a new horse to be able to progress then it sounds like a good opportunity.
But if you were happy with your current horse previous to the other one coming along then I'd say stick to you current horse. If it were me I'd keep the horse you have now! He looks like a good jumper to me! Looks like an absolute sweet and you really suit each other!

thanks .i am competitive and love my horse so my decision is : i will go and look at these horses . if one one of them seems to me beautiful and so wonderful that i feel regretful if i dont buy it, i will think to sell him. but it is difficult.
i will train him more carefully.
again thank you. i feel better about my horse, dospad .

big ears, iam sorry about your mare . i hope she will get better.what is her illness ?

if yuor heart is in showing/jumping then *A*

if your love for your horse you have now is greater then your love for jumping then *B*--really you are the only one who can really decide

[Torie]

If want to compete at higher level showjumping and you have the ability and the will to do so, then perhaps selling or loaning out your horse would be the best for both of you. If on the other hand, you're happy to progress at a slower rate and stick at a lower level and can't bare to part with your present horse, then don't. Only you can make that decision.

your current horse looks very talented already. How high is that jump?

Ultimately it will be your decision, but could you possible have the horse on loan for a month (as well as keeping your horse) to see which would suit you the best.

Also, you probably wouldn't be looking at new horses if you thought your current one would last you a long time. Just a thought.

i wont buy a new horse .we managed to deal with a boy(good rider) to train him.

[Tootsie4U]

Too bad - I'd love to have him... drool :D

Just kidding. He's lovely and Im actually very glad to hear you'll be keeping him!

[Nikita88]

i might be kind of late on this, but here is my opionion anyway
if i were you i would go with B...keep your horse! he looks like a nice jumper, hes beautiful and you too look awesome together. Even if he is not the best jumper, he is giving you his best and thats all you can ask for. I couldnt sell my horse for something he cant excell at...its like wanting to give your kid up for adoption and get a new one 'cause he has problems reading. You can over come it with practice :)

Best of luck!! Keep us updated
xoxo
