There are TONS of responses to the ad, by the way. I hope he goes to someone with horse property who can retire him when the time comes.
Thank you for wording this perfectly. I have been a “flipper” multiple times now. Horses that are under educated, under utilized, or not right for their current job have been my projects. The horses leave me better than they came and I make money finding them great homes. I am not a terrible person for doing this and I have enjoyed the variety of horses I have been able to ride since doing so. It does sting a bit when the girls at the barn joke about white boards as the name plates for my stalls rather than printed cards but I am making money that will be able to be put towards my dream horse.
