I have a 33 year old guy that I have had for 15+ years. I knew a time would come when I wouldn't be able to ride him anymore.
I also knew that I would go into a black hole if he wasn't here anymore. So, after looking for about a year, I got another horse.
I have had my "new" guy for 2 years. However, I made a point to put my faithful friend at the top of the list. He wants for nothing. As long as he is still enjoying his life grazing, being groomed and walked around to check things out around the ranch-we are still a happy couple.
I was able to ride him up until a few months ago, but things are catching up with him-so I am no longer riding him.
But, I do understand feelings of guilt and riding another horse is like driving a different car, to me. That took awhile to get thru. Good luck!!
