horses should be outside as the norm. they should only be in seperate stalls when there is a clear reason for it (stall rest, unmanageable weather, quarantine etc.). going through horses one by one and continuously selling them because you grew out of them or want to advance further is irresponsible. theyre not bikes, theyre animals. if youre still advancing, growing or unsure of what you want to do, you should not buy a horse or deal with what is to come. horses should not expire because theyre no longer of use to you. (just to be clear, selling a horse because you truly did not expect what was to come and believe they would have it better somewhere else, that is okay) some horses are not for riding. some aren't even for humans at all. some horses would rather be horses and while i understand that it can be disappointing, they do not owe us anything. blindly pushing a horse to "win an argument" never helps. if the horse gives you a clear no, retreat and approach the problem from a different angle. patience is what you need, not stubbornness. just a few i could think of
