Yeah I like them, but I don't want them to just sit all year and not get any training. I've already got Reno sold, just not picked up yet. I don't know how much to list Indie for

Well I'm definitely no help there, I have no idea!

Indie is gorgeous. I love his eyes.

Quick question, if a trainer says the give lessons in trail class, western pleasure, and working horse.... what's working horse?

I think it's like a ranch horse class, or agility class for horses. Seems like its opening a gate, going over a bridge, around cones or poles, but faster than a trail class.

Ahh that makes sense and is understandable.

I was more just thinking maybe you could keep him and he might not get worked with much while you're training the other two but then you could start working him again after?

But then again he's beautiful and probably too pretty to be a pasture pet hah but maybe it could be temporary.

But someone might wanna show him or something maybe or work him

Or you could lease him out so he could be worked but you could keep him ans enjoy him still?

I completely understand selling though

I think I've found a trainer who wants to trade him in exchange for training June (fine tuning, neck reining, and start in trail class training just for fun). So hopefully it works out, the only obstacle is she's almost 4 hours away.
And now I just have to muster up the motivation to spend some time working with Reno before I send him to his new home, I'm having some problems with anxiety so it's making me not want to go out and work with him.

Ok, first you need to be working with horse A and horse B is the one that you aren't messing with. Tie up horse B or put him in an area where you can get right to him but he can't follow you around. Take horse A as far from horse B as you can without horse A freaking out, if horse A wants to go back to his buddy, let him, but as soon as he gets there make him work HARD, direction changes, tight circles, don't let him have a second to rest, then take him back almost to the freak out spot and let him stand and relax, catch his breath but do not restrict his movement, if he wants to go back to his buddy at any point, allow it, but make him work really hard over there and let him rest halfway across the field. So, being alone with you means he can rest, being near his friend means he gets tired and sweaty. It will take a little while, but it does work.
