I have a horse for sale, and we’ve been contacted by a pony treking center?

They want him, but I dont know if its kind enough to a horse that needs a quieter life?

You’re all right…I’ve seen horses that are kept for trekking – I think I’ll wait. It’s not the money we’re overly bothered about, it’s to make sure he goes to a good home.
Well at a trekking center your horse certainly will not have a quieter life. He will be working.. alot.

I would not send him to a trekking center. He won’t have a quiet life… and he will be working.
If this is a horse you really care about, I think it’s worth it if you wait a little longer until something better comes around.
If you place adds about him, make sure it says, "Calm and quiet home wanted", or something similar.

i agree, this is not a good home for your horse, especially if he needs a "quieter" life! i once sold a pony to a riding school and i still regret it, to this day, i still think about it and feel terrible that my lovely old pony had to deal with all that. luckily i know he was sold to one of the students after a couple of years, but still, he worked hard and he didnt deserve to be stuck in a stable like that.
ultimately it’s your choice, but if you can hold out until you find a more suitable home, i would keep trying!
good luck!

If this is the type of horse who is kind of a one person horse and likes their spoiling and their routine, I would definitely hold off.
This is one career for a horse that only works if they absolutely fit the mold. (much like school horses)…. they put up with a lot of stuff, don’t usually get much personalized care, and a lot of the camps and schools I’ve known pretty much just dump the horses at auction if they don’t fit into the lifestyle….
