I've been looking for a Pleasure Driving horse for this season. (We have a Western "A" horse and an "A" Country Pleasure horse) I now need to decide between and "A" sized mini and a "B" sized double registered Shetland/mini (ASPC/AMHR). They both are trained to drive and will do Pleasure nicely. They're both nice stallions. Both around the same price range. The "A" positive is he's black and white; a real looker! Color wise not as fancy but the "B" I'd be able to dabble in both areas AMHR and Shetland and IF my grandkids want to ride/show he could carry them at least for leadline for a few years. Hubby is hohping this is "the last horse" so I'm trying to make it as flexible as possible.
I'm really bad at making decisions. I see BOTH sides too much! I'd like to get both but we're not set up right now for one more stallion let alone two. Yes, I know, geld but I'm not sure if or when I needed to resell that a gelding would bring as good a price as I paid for a stallion. [Wow, that statement alone is worth a whole discussion!]
So could I get some discussion from those that have one or the other or both or if you just have an opinion. I'm getting a headache from arguing with myself!
