As most of you know, I rescued a 7 year old Appaloosa gelding back in September. He wasn't being fed, and had never really been worked with. I've got him back up to weight now and have started his training. I love him a lot, but I'm itching to get in the saddle and we've been having a lot of setbacks in his training. They're minor setbacks though.
But today I was offered a trade. There is a lady who has a registered BLM Mustang and she really would like to have Levi. The Mustang is 8 years old, and is a bit more advanced in his training and handling than Levi is. A lot of things that Levi is having trouble with, this other horse is doing great in. He's a horse that I could get on and start riding almost right away.
I feel bad, because I do love Levi a lot, but this other horse seems more suited to me and what I'm looking for. Levi wasn't exactly my dream horse, but he needed me and I'm so glad I saved him.
I hope this doesn't make me seem like a bad person! I'd really like an opinion from you all before I make my final decision.
