Solo still considers retirement somewhat of a punishment, but he is less openly resentful of it than he was 3 years ago. eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-9552792257898517082019-02-19T16:22:46.435-06:002019-02-19T16:22:46.435-06:00Ugh, that's super frustrating :( Ozzy was in a...Ugh, that's super frustrating :( Ozzy was in a funny sort of semi-retired limbo his last few years. There were times when he looked really good and we did some pretty serious rides, and there were spells where he just sat in the pasture for months. At first, he was a real PITA about being "retired" but he eventually got used to it and stopped pestering the Fat!Pony. Hoping T will settle into his new non-routine sooner than later, for everyone's sake. I'm sorry to hear the injections weren't a magic fix.

The title of this really spoke to me because this is exactly where I am with Apollo... he doesn't seem to enjoy his work (or hold up well to harder work) but he is still fairly high maintenance so I can't exactly find him a retirement home. Who doesn't want a hard to catch horse who needs trimming every 4 weeks and sunscreen/fly masks on during the day but taken off at night XD. I'm curious to follow along with how things go with Taran! My only idea was to make him a "pack horse" on trail rides but I'm not sure he'd like that either.
