Uh yeah, this so did not happen.
How many 16-year-olds own Lipizzaner stallions? And better yet, who the hell would want a horse that's pregnant with twins? That's like a death sentence with horses, twins only live on extremely rare occasions and if they do then there's typically one that's very fragile and small and never keeps up with its age-mates. Not to mention the stress on the mother if they even make it to term, which just about never happens. Big breeders often try to abort one if they know that their mare is in foal with twins. You have to either get rid of one or lose both and possibly the mare later on down the line.
Your story is very cute, but obviously fiction.

I have to agree with Jezabell88, 5 year old Stallion, that hasn't done anything, champion at what? I haven't seen a Lipizzaner stallion win any graded show lately, nevermind be a champion, are you sure you don't mean best in show at the local fair? As a breeder, if you tried to sell me a mare with twins, I would smile politly and leave because you obviously don't know much about breeding horses, because no breeder would take a chance on brood mare pregnant with twins, way to much risk to all the animals involved, you wouldn't even be able to insure the mare. If your dog needs a 10 grand operation, put the dog down, unless your a complete idiot. You sound pretty young "bestest" adults don't talk like that. Maybe you should talk to your parents about it. Sounds like fiction to me. Fiction means fake.

write down a list of pros and cons for each option. Things often make more sense on paper than they do in your head.
If this guy is willing to pay that much for him, it is likely he will be looked after very well. Where will your horse be happiest?
Is your mare preganant with twins, or do you have two foals as well as the mare? If she is having twins, i wish you the best of luck. I hope all three get through ok.
May i reccomend making sure all your pets are insured so money does notstop them getting the best treatments and any operations they need.
I have had to re home a horse that i loved dearly, but i know it was in his best interests. Always put them first, then you are sure to come to the right decision.

What sort of surgery does your dog need? Make certain, 1: The dog absolutely HAS to have the surgery, 2: Try selling the mare and foals first (advertise), 3: If you HAVE to sell your stud, call around if his bloodlines are what you say make sure you get the best price. If only one person has made an offer on him, you can probably get more. Check with breeders in your area and see what they say. Maybe you can do what I did - I sold my mare to a little disabled girl (my mare was 18, LOVED kids and I knew she'd be spoiled rotten), but kept visitation rights.

What is your question? If you are asking should you sell, then no one can answer that but you. Do you really need the money? Is the horse going to a good home? You have to decide which you want more - (or need) - the horse or the cash. Sounds like the man really wants the stallion. How much is that in American money? Is it a good price for the stallion? I assume he wants him for breeding ...

well hun at the end of the day its a personal choice to you - you either want to keep your horse or operate on your dog.
With me - I would and have picked love for my animals over money - I got offered over €70,000.00 for my favourite horse by an international showjumper - and bearing in mind Id only paid €3500.00 for her it was an extensive profit - but I chose not to sell her as Id prefer to keep her and let her live her last days out with me. Depending on what your horse has given to you over the last number of years and the love you hold for him - can you put a price on that?? I hope you work this out - I know how awful this decision is! xx

I dont believe this is true just like some other people, but if it was true then i would say:
IF you love somthing you dont get rid of it and if the dogs opperation is so expensive then its obviously in a bad way and you wouldnt keep it alive, i wouldnt and im sure many other people wouldnt.

If you love the horse don't sell him - get money for your dog by doing a job after school and at weekends.
