considering parting ways with your horse?
Making a decision like this is no easy feat, and it can feel incredibly isolating. Especially when there are so many voices telling you conflicting information. Emotions are high, and knowing which path is actually right can feel impossible.
We May experience thoughts like...
Maybe there is something I just haven't tried yet. Maybe if I invest more money into training / lessons I can make it work somehow...
What if whoever I transfer ownership to doesn't take good care of them?
But you already feel that you've invested SO much in this horse. It's a total you refuse to add up because the guilt is too overwhelming.
What if I become a better rider? Will I regret parting ways with this horse?
If this horse doesn't work out for me why would anyone else possibly want it?
I hate the judgement I feel from others that this horse and I aren't working out.
What If I told you it is possible to ethically part ways with your horse?
Without the shame of worrying what others may (or may not) be thinking about our situation
Without the fear that our horse will not be loved or cared for in their next home
Without being dishonest to the next person about why the horse didn't work out for you
Without losing sleep wondering if you did the right thing
MEET THE creator
Hey, I'm Melissa Jesurun
I've been coaching horsewomen through the buying and selling process for over a decade. As a lifelong horse lover, I have found myself on all sides of the buying, selling, and advising sphere.
But there's one thing that really bothers me to see:
I’m tired of seeing people’s dreams be obliterated by being feeling stuck with an incompatible horse. Nothing is more devastating to your confidence or your bank account than trying to force a bad match to work.
And its not your fault, and its not the horses fault either. Heck, it might not actually be ANYONE'S fault. Sometimes the chemistry just doesn't work out, and neither horse nor human is broken in any way.
There are too many voices out there trying to make people feel guilty for not owning their horse forever. Much of that is coming from people who, shocker, aren’t stepping up to help you pay for said horse so I'd like to go ahead and release you from their grip. Your situation is yours and yours alone, and for most of us the reality is that we cannot afford to keep a horse we can't use.
The other, very real, truth is that many people are NOT judging your situation at all. Because almost every horse owner I know has a story just like yours.
Regardless many of us hold onto the disbelief that it isn't possible to ethically rehome/sell a horse - but the truth is, it CAN be done!
And when we sell or rehome with care, we free up our resources to attract and bring home the horse of our dreams while simultaneously allowing our current horse to find a situation that is equally ideal for them. Is there any greater win?
I created this guide to share my most successful methods of selling / rehoming a horse with ethics and integrity.
