My advice would be RELAX, don't make quick decisions.
List the horses and see how things go.
Maybe the balance in your life/relationship is off!
My hubby hates, well certainly doesn't like my animals and I have lots
I NEVER expect him to help me do anything for them and I respect his feelings about them.
However, sometimes he suggest we get rid of them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO! Ah NO!
I had animals before I was married, it has been a lifelong passion for me and NO I will not give up myself for my marriage.
That said, I make sure they do not consume me or my life and I encourage my husband in all his hobbies.
I think it is a little odd your husband bought all these animals and now wants to dispose of them
They are living, breathing animals not whimsical toys
That said maybe you have gone too far with the horses and they have become too much of a priority in your life. Sit back and look at it rationally and see what you think is happening here.
Definately, my job as a mother comes way higher on my priority list than my animals BUT I can do both I just need to work harder and get up earlier!!!
My husband is more important than an animal to me BUT if I gave up all my interests for him, which he wouldn't really expect me to do, I would have no interests left????
Can't imagine I would be very fun to be around then!
Sit back and take a deep breath, maybe you need to lighten the horse load.
When you sell a few maybe everyone will feel better and you can move forward from there.
Listen to your husband and see what his needs are.
Then listen to yourself and figure out your own needs!
There is room for both to be fulfilled in a good marriage.
DEFINATELY don't forfeit a marriage for a horse BUT a good marriage doesn't fall apart over a horse??
So maybe you can both figure out what needs to change.
Good Luck
