Decreasing the Number of Horses on My Payroll

With the rising costs of everything - shoes, hay, vet, gas, life in general, I have to cut back.  Three horses and a mule stand in my soup line.  Ginger is my husband's quarter horse - she stays.  Missy, Molly, and Gitana are mine - one needs to stay, the others need new jobs.   At $16.50 a bale for grass hay and $90 for a pair of shoes, how can I keep on the payroll animals I don't need?

Missy is my faithful 23 year old paso fino mare, awesome trail horse who has carried me courageously all over the southwest.  Sadly, she can no longer do the hard work of mountain trail riding.

Molly and Gitana were purchased as possible replacements for Missy.  After extensive on-line research, I found Molly, a paso-gaited mule who had been imprinted at birth, raised and loved by a veterinarian, and started kindly and well.  She was first chosen as Missy's replacement, but then Gitana and another mare came my way.  A friend has 18 horses and needed to cut back fast - I bought two paso fino mares at ridiculously low prices and traded the highest quality mare for the training of the other, which I felt was better suited to trails.

Molly or Gitana?  Molly's long ears and off beat personality keep us laughing - everyone loves a clown.  Regrettably, I never noticed she had slightly crooked back legs that would keep her from being the heavy duty mountain mule I was looking for.  This was pointed out to me by an accomplished mule man when I was trying to find her a new home.  She also doesn't canter, having been discouraged from doing so as a gaited mule.

Gitana has been in training with a professional and is just at the point where i can begin riding her.  She does well on the trail and is brave and sound, a thoroughly adequate replacement for Missy.

So, Missy, my faithful but aged trail mare, and Molly Mule need a new job.  Will I succeed in finding them new homes?
