I've been thinking about this a LOT. What if something happens and I have to sell Loki (which I would NEVER do willingly anymore. He's a dream come true!)? Will he be able to be easily rehomed not being broke very well due to his halter career? I've tried endlessly to put some kind of foundation training under saddle on him and it just doesn't work. He isn't made or bred for riding. He has incredible movement for western pleasure but he just doesn't want to be a rider. Which I am perfectly fine with, but I also have to think about how I'm affecting his future. He is an incredible halter horse that has more "pretty" than most and can win anything at a local level and out of a huge barn full of horses at State, only one was better. Is that always going to be enough? His stable buddy, Boston, shows promise to go as far as I want to take him under saddle and the personality to do it.
Hmm. Very interesting to think about.
