i have decided 2 sell Jess. I need major help

After 3 and a half years of serious riding & owning Jess(i was a beginner wen i got her) i have decided that i need 2 sell her. When we bought her we did wot a lot of new horse owners do & just took tha sellers word for it that she was a good beginners horse. & after walk trot & cantering round the arena i thought so 2. well i havnt ridden her in an arena since. Ive ridden in steep & sloping paddocks that i could only trot or canter in facing uphill. Jess was a 4yo Standardbred mare 14.2hh. now she is 8yo 15hh. & being a beginner i couldnt train her & she got worse & worse. I taught her a few things like reinback & turnback(as they call it in western riding). I also taught her 2 jump. So she has learnt stuff, but has also been a handful. I have been bucked off so many times & almost evry time i landed on my head or my back. im lucky that the worst ive been hurt. So ive decided 2 sell her. She's stuffed my confidence & i always get freaked out now, coz she always bucks & has no ballance. She also doesnt like loading on tha float

But on top of all that, she is easy 2 train but i just dont have tha confidence 2 do it, she has a HUGE scopey jump & under tha rite hands i can see her becomming an awsome X country horse. She is a very pretty black (well almost black) mare. She hardly bites any more. & doesnt kick any more.

So what i mainly want 2 no is how much would she be worth in australia?

& if i spend a few hundred dollars(the money i woz gunna use 2 buy a new saddle with) to get her trained so that she does all her paces nicely & jumps about 80cm with a rider on her back( for sum reason she jumps better wen im not on her) and loads on the float, how much would she be worth then?

I would really appreciate sum help soon because even tho i will miss her heaps, i want 2 buy a new older and well trained horse wen we sell jess that i can learn 2 ride & not learn 2 fall off. I cant even go riding with my friends because i cant get her on the float.

Thanx heaps!!!

 

Your local vet should be able to appraise her for you. Instead of getting rid of her, you could always pay to have a trainer work with her and you.
And if that still doesn't work out, You could always find a nice equine rescue like LSER.org.

 

yer i see where ur comin from. I guess ive just gotten 2 tha point where i want 2 move on. Even if she was trained 2 behave. Iwant 2 learn 2 ride & be able 2 stuff like dressage & jumping. I want 2 learn more stuff about riding & thats why i think its best that when we get Jess trained that i buy a more educated horse. I really dont want 2 sell her, but i think i will always have a bit of fear when i ride her. 2day, she wouldnt even walk around tha paddock without cracking a spaz. I think i did everything rite. I praised her for being good & disiplined her for being naughty. I spent the whole riding time @ a walk & she didnt improve.

What is the best way for me to be disaplining her anyway?
