I bought my gorgeous mare as a first horse about 18months ago and she has proven to be anything but easy. I'm struggling with the decision of selling her or pushing through... I like her fiery nature really, but my confidence can be fragile...I've written an ad and just edited together a sales video for her (which is what's magnified these doubts) etc so it's all ready to be posted to advertise her. Plus, there's a horse that my trainer has offered to me for if/when I did sell her, so it'd all be set up to continue full steam ahead...I'm trying not babble on but basically, she has so much potential and a massive loving heart (all be it buried deep down) and I am struggling with the "what ifs".. what if I just press on with her? Maybe we could make it. But then I think of how long a journey that will be and how much confidence I might loose... The selfish part of me wants something I can just be out having fun on right now and, since I can be a nervous rider, something that I don't have to worry about too much. But I also see stories of people who have pressed on with their tricky horses and it's been their best decision ever.I see so much of my personality in this mare and I worry that I'll be giving away something that could be so so special...As she's my first horse I've never been through this before so I guess what I'm asking is, are these doubts/worries/feelings normal and shouldn't stop me selling her? Please, any reassure or guidance whatsoever would be much appreciated.(Sorry I rambled :eek: congrats if you made it this far!)
