With mine I've been able to find homes for them as they got tons and tons of training. But even at that, it was at a great financial loss - I basically 'gave them away', and my riding went on 'hold' for the 18 months to 2 years it took to find them a perfect home.
One, who I just was really sure people would 'take advantage of' if I placed him in any home. He had a lot of really advanced training and a ligament injury that he could NOT do his advanced work on any more - but ironically, it did not cause an obvious lameness. In fact it is a lameness I think most people wouldn't be able to see. But if he's made to do the advanced work, his leg will start to deteriorate. I want him to stay comfortable.
I knew if he got out of my sight, some money grubber would find him and try to make money off him - teach a jillian lessons off him or lease him, he just was not ever the type to complain or show pain.
So he has to stay with us for his own protection, and he will til the day he dies. We bought this farm for him to live out his days at, in peace and quiet. We take him for a walk every day, and he just eats and sleeps and enjoys himself - a horse's idea of paradise. But after all he did for me, he doesn't owe me nothin'. I owe him.
