[RC] Horse done... - k s swigart

Valerie Jaques said:

Also, I'm going to have to get another horse,
and I'm not sure I can sell my husband on
keeping two horses, especially one I can't ride.
Phoenix is very willing, and he gets along really
well with other horses.  He'd even make a good
"companion" horse.  He's been used to break
youngsters in to trail riding.  He's got a good
chance of being a light trail horse after a
recuperative period, so he could probably even
do that again.  If anybody has any ideas, I'd love
to hear them.  I will euthanize him if I must, but
I really don't want to.

If you really don't want to euthanize him, why don't you put off your
plans to get another horse, keep him for the recuperative period
yourself to see whether he really has got a good chance of being a light
trail horse or youngsters lesson horse, and THEN see if you can find him
a good home for that purpose.

There is no need to rush into getting another horse if puting the care
into this one will make him suitable for somebody else.
