Any opinions?

Busterzkool · 01-09-2005, 03:35 PM

I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this~well right now i have a donkey and a miniature horse and i want to sell them because i am looking for a riding horse and i can't have all three. Well we put them up for sale and we found definite buyers. But now i'm having second thoughts about selling my mini because in the spring, when i get a new horse, i think the new horse is going to need and want a companion. Do you guys think i should keep the mini and just sell the donkey? Or should i sell them both and then my new horse won't have a companion? I reallllllly like the mini and im afraid that when i get the new horse im going to end up needing a companion for him anyway and it'll be too late for my mini because he will already have been sold. Any opinions would be great!!~thanks

Will your horse be all alone? If so, i'd keep a buddy for it

i would keep someone for the new horse to hang around with. If the horse is all alone he might get really bored.

I would absolutely keep the mini. First off, it sounds like you really do not want to part with it. Secondly, horses are herd animals. Some are ok alone, but some just cannot take it. They get depressed and sickly and all sorts of things. If it does not work out you can always go ahead and sell the mini. Next question; will your mini be okay alone while you are searching for a riding horse and the donkey is gone?

I think that if you really love the mini, you will regret selling her/him(?), especially if you decide to get a companion for the new horse later.
