Hello All. I never thought I’d be posting such an entry but yes, Elvis is for sale. I’ve come to the decision that this wonderful horse and I are less of a perfect riding match for each other than I expected. Before you ask ‘why’, know that it’s nothing more than what sometimes happens when a rider begins moving in a different direction than the young horse. It’s not a reflection of what either of us can or will accomplish in the future, it’s more a matter of how we will each succeed. Clearly, Elvis has much to give; I’ve decided though that he can excel (perhaps more) with another rider. He’s just as fantastic as he’s always been, and I love him the same.

Wow I have to admit that I’m very surprised! I’ve been checking for an update regularly, but didn’t expect this. I 100% completely understand, although I wish you would go into more detail, maybe not on the specifics, but on rider/horse matches, as it may help someone struggling with a similar decision. I think it’s a very mature decision you’ve made and I hope for the absolute best for you both!!! I hope you keep us posted on your adventures. I very much enjoy your writing!
Gee… first I sell Acey, the you decide to sell Elvis! At least you have given him an awesome start in a profession that he seems perfectly suited for. I’m looking forward to seeing him continue to represent the American Saddlebred in the sport horse arena.
Any thoughts as to how you will mount yourself in the future?
I know Brita, between the two of you, I’m going to have major withdrawals!! I tried to post a bon voyage comment for Ace, but it wouldn’t post. I will miss reading about these guys!
I’m sorry to hear this, Kayla, but I’m sure you’re making a smart decision for both yourself and for Elvis. Good luck to you — sometimes the right decision is also the toughest.
Just wondering how Elvis is doing?
