Help? What would you do?

I haven't been in this exact position before, but I was in one where I had to give up my lovely Arabian. I got him for my birthday when he was 5 months old and I trained him and took care of him, but then I moved to Southern California and couldn't keep him. It sucks having to give up a pet, but there are always more, not the same, but amazing in their own way. If you want to raise and train your own horse I suggest you budget yourself and buy a foal. It would be a few years before you could ride it, but you wouldn't have to deal with anyone telling lies for no reason. Being able to train my own horse was amazing, and the bond we had was unbreakable. He did whatever I told him to and even a couple years later he still remembered me and my car. I think it's a good learning experience in more ways than one. And research is nothing like the real thing, but theres always help. Anyone who works with horses have their own opinion on how to train and treat them. Some have good advice, some not so much. Vets are usually the best. But I think if you really want to do it and you have the means to, go for it! Its a great experience.
