 One of our biggest (no pun intended) problems out on the farm has been our horse Memphis. Memphis was a stallion (that means he was not gelded, and for those who don't know what that means, just think of it as neutered, but on a larger scale in the horse world). We could have had a vet come out and geld him, mainly because horses act better from a riding standpoint. However, that was the whole problem for us. We do not ride horses as a hobby. We have horses out there for our family, and for company who visits us. We just do not have the need for 4 riding horses.
Many of the people out here in our neighborhood, really get into horseback riding. They also have their mouths wired shut, broken hands and legs and other various issues that I really do not have interest in myself, soooo, with that said, when it was time to spend money on a horse we were never going to ride, my wife and I thought to ourselves that it was like buying a new engine for an old car. Perhaps it was better that another family had the opportunity to look at Memphis in a different light, and would be willing to spend the time and money it would take to make him the superstar we know he is.
We will miss him. He was born here, raised here, but unfortunately caused sooooo many fights with the horses, that most of them have bite marks all over their bodies. Some of the horses escaped from the fencing, and went up to the house and waited for us to come home. We tried to get them to go back, but as soon as they saw Memphis, they would refuse to go back in. It took us to fence Memphis off from the rest of the horses before they would all settle down. Memphis was sold to a man 6 doors down, so we will be able to see him anytime we want.
