Please keep your old horse or let them go with dignity and love

“Know that old gelding of yours? You know, the trusty gelding who taught you to ride. We all have one in our pasture. He was the first horse you trusted with your kids. Everything this horse has done has had a purpose behind it.

Now his joints are starting to show arthritis from all the learning you two did together. He probably has slowed down and need a little extra food. Your family is ready for something with a little more speed and he doesn’t fit the bill. So you convince yourself you are letting him go so he can help teach another child. In your mind, you see him happily trotting down the road with a sweet little girl on his back.

In reality, that little girl will ride and love him for a few years. However, she outgrows him. He’s even slower and she’s ready to run. Her family is not bonded with your horse like you were. They sell him to the inexperienced family down the road.

This family knows nothing about horses. They don’t know how to feed an aged horse. He looses weight. Soon it’s so bad they keep him in the back pasture where no one can see him.
Finally, they take him to a sale.

No one at the sale wants a neglected, aged horse. So he goes through the ring and sells for $400 to a killbuyer. The killpen is where I find him. I know nothing about his history and nothing about his health. All I can see is the wisdom and pain in his eyes. I take him home.

As much as I love what I do, I would love to never see one of these poor old guys again. It breaks my heart to know that this is the story of so many animals out there.

So please, please keep your aged horses. If you can no longer afford them, lease them to a friend or put them down. No one deserves for their life to end this way.”

Trainee Rider Opportunity

Our stables are located at Ingleside, Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where we breed and compete Warmblood horses in dressage.
We are looking for a rider to ride/ train/ compete our horses, under the instruction of Sam Loane, who is an FEI rider, but has had to take time out to have babies.
This is not a paid position, the rider gets free lessons /riding and training on top quality horses with expenses paid in exchange for their work/time.
We have a Warmblood gelding who has been broken in, and then spelled to grow, who is now ready to be brought back into work.
We are looking for someone who is highly motivated and already a competent rider, (some competition experience would be an advantage) to help train him.
If this is something you would be interested in, send me your details with a rough outline of your experience and any photos, competition results and videos.
