#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT size=2#ed_cl#im in a bit of a predicament, as i went to a show last weekend and mentioned to my coach that i may be interested in selling my mare soon. She expressed interest in getting ahold of her and called me the next day to come and try a horse that she would be willing to trade with money attached for my mare. #ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Info on the horses #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#My mare:#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Defiant Shadow or Shady#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#registered/papered#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Thoroughbred #ed_op#BR#ed_cl#mare#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#15hh#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#13 yrs#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#mahogany bay#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#i pony clubbed her to C1, jumped her 3'6, shown her in hacks and hunter classes, done dressage upto level 1 and shes been used as a school horse most of her life.#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Her value i placed her at 5000 just because she doesnt have the movement or fanciness of a show horse to be worth more. #ed_op#P#ed_cl#My coaches Gelding:#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Hasty (don't know his race name)#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#im guessing registered as hes a retired race horse#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Thoroughbred#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Gelding#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#17hh#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#8 yrs#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#bay#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#hes green broke, was a racehorse till a month ago, isnt spooky though and walk/trots and canters nicely...no sign of race horse in him...my coach says he should be a nice hunter and a hack champion. #ed_op#P#ed_cl#The pros and cons i have come up with for each horse is:#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Shady #ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Pros- im attached, can hop on her and do anything, anyone can ride her, cost is deducted, large sum of money i have never been offered before for this mare. #ed_op#BR#ed_cl#cons- she needs glucosamine and msm, shes not very showy, i don't get to ride her much, shes getting borring. #ed_op#P#ed_cl#Gelding#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#Pros- he would be easier to sell when i go to college, if i needed to. Showy/worth more, challenge, might be able to try jumpers with him. #ed_op#BR#ed_cl#cons- i would have to start all over, i would need to buy some new tack, wont have as many people willing to ride him. #ed_op#P#ed_cl#What do you all think i should do?#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
