When Should You Lease Your Horse Out And When Should You Sell?

When circumstances don’t favour horses, or a particular horse, in our lives, we are faced with the decision of what to do with the horse. Older or injured horses with no possibility of returning to working life are usually retired to live out their days, but how do we decide what to do with working or competing horses? If keeping a certain horse is no longer a possibility for a variety of personal reasons, we have to make the decision to sell on or lease out.
