Do I deserve a horse?
Ok, I understand that I might sound like a brat while saying this. Ok, i'm 15 and have had horses in my backyard my entire life. Me and my sister got into it because my mom had them. We started off jumping and we both had qh horses. mine died in a jumping accident. My sister got another after giving hers away b/c she was getting older. I then got my beatiful arabian that I have now. I have now had her for around 6 years. In this time, my sister has had 5 more horses. I have worked with my mare about 5 years and this last year kidna dropped out b/c i started a very difficult high school and never had time for her. (i rode like just around for fun, but didnt show in any big shows. however i did show her in halter b/c i didn't really have to practice). During this my sister got 1 horse who was sick (but he recovered and we still have him) then she got a mare who was great, but never won. We still have that mare too, then she got a gelding who wasn't fully trained. She ended up not getting along with him, and now he is in training in a different city and for sale. Now she is searching for a horse to take her to nationals even though she just went to regionals for the 1st time. Does this make sense? She has'nt put herself into the horses as much as me. She gets 1 and then doesn't like them so moves on. Might i add that htye are looking at spending 20k and driving all the way north (and we live in texas). I would like to get a new horse for my 16th bday. Juts b/c i would like something a lil fresher. my mare is 18 and has cushings. she is perfectly healthy and beautiful, but i've tried so hard with her for 6 years and we haven't really gotten anywhere. I'm looking at 1 mare and she is only 1500. My mom is saying, "no". However, my sis is getting a 20k horse? Does this make sense? Thx for reading
WOAH my horse is no where near to dying. I'm not gna not focus on her. I'm still going to show her, but in halter. Not ride her. I need to think about my life in college .I want to get a horse to take to college b/c she wont be able to go with me.
Ok, to abc123. The only reason i'm looking for a new horse is b/c 1. My horse is 18! She is getting up there and I don't want to overwork her b/c she has cushings 2. I'm not going to just ditch her. She is my baby, i'm not bored of her. I'm still going to ride her around and show her in halter. I just want to cut back b/c I don't think her feet'll stand up for riding 3 times a week 3. I want to take my horse to college. I'm not going to be able to take an 21 year old horse with cushings to college
Ok, let me add some more. haha. My mare is outside during the day and in during night. Gets grass all the time. I will still love her, show her, and ride her. Just she would not be in training. She would be like trail riding in the pasture and showing in halter.
my sister is older which doesn't matter. Trust me, my sister loves her horses. And she connects with them, thats why we have never sold any of them. She is just wanting a horse to take her to nationals which is the reason we never went to a trainer. We always trained our horses our selves and took lessons. We never had a trainer train our horses. We do well in shows, just not national levels.

This is a really tough one. If your parents are going to spend that much money for your sisters horse, there must be a reason for it. If they don't want to spend $ 1500 for a horse for you, there is also a reason. I can't say whether it is fair or not, because I think there is more to the situation. But good luck to you
i see cute vampires.
It doesnt make sence.
maybe if you just leased your mare out ur mum would get u 1/.
i think u should talk 2 ur parents

this is the exact same thing that happened to me!!! but if ur horse is still sound and healthy u should focus on her cause when she gets lame and not riddable and eventually dies cause she is 18 (18 and cushings is kinda old) u will feel bad for not focusing on her...

What would you do with this new horse? Would you start showing it a lot more often? If so, you need to start showing more of an interest in showing right now. Start doing lot more than the halter classes. This will show your dedication. If you've had this horse for 6yrs, and your not getting any where, your not spending enough time trying to get somewhere with it. if this is the case, don't get a new horse until you actually put some time into your mare.

well i think ur sis isn't trying hard enough with her horses. u deserve a horse because u have worked so hard and ur sis hasn't. but if u r gonna get a horse u rlly r gonna have to spend a lot of time with it and your other horse. talk to ur sis and parent
that is my opinion
