i wouldn’t sell them, i have 5 horses and even though its a lot of work, i still think its worth it. But its really up to you if you think there to much to care for/Handel.

Whenever you have nay animal it will take a lot of work to take care of them. They also need a lot of love and attention. They are beautiful horses though. I wouldn’t sell them. They are wonderful animals

I don’t see why they’d be too much as long as you are able to care for all of them and give them equal attention. As long as they are ridden enough, fed enough, and just generally taken care of, I don’t see any reason to sell them.

If you feel that they aren’t all getting equal attention and it’s hard to keep up with all three horses, then maybe selling one or two wouldn’t be a bad idea. It’s better to be able to realize you can’t handle that many horses and sell one or two to another home than keep all three even though you know you aren’t going to be able to take care of all of them, because that’s just not fair to the horse(s), or you.

Beautiful horses, by the way.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do! :)

If your sister and mother ride them as well how about they start footing some of the responsibilities as well…

I have three Arabians as of today, 1 yearling gelding and 2 mares both bred to a Friesian. 2 Paints and 1 Draft X =8 when my babies come. My horses get plenty of attention and if you have the time for that many then why sell them.

Seems to me 3 is a good start….

but then, I’ve known and loved many… and am currently down to 5 [once had 17].

i have 8 plus 2 that i’m training for other people, just get a schedule you can stick to to ride them

Hey if you can handle them, keep em. If you really need to sell them though, I guess I’d sell the one you are not progressing farther on, the one that’s reached their peak so to say. It sounds like you really love them though….so I dunno.

BTW: I agree with Taylor. This isn’t a sellers market. I’d hang on to them and wait till you could get more for them. They look really nice. Wait the market out.
