Re: [RC] [RC] Horse Buying/Selling - Nancy MittsAll you have said is why I thought a petition from endurance riders to AHA was pretty funny. "We" have a reputation for wanting horses 4-6 years old, ready to go down the trail, good conformation and disposition, and 3K is considered "a lot of money."As long as we brag about $500 world champions and champions off the killer truck, that's all there will be to choose from. That, and a dedicated few who don't need to make a profit to keep doing it. We breed a few, mainly for ourselves, and sell the ones we don't have time to ride. I've sold some good half arab geldings (full brothers to my mare) to pleasure trail homes, because distance riders wouldn't pay enough to even cover the feed I had in them. Other folks will. A fellow said to me just a couple months ago (not a breeder), "endurance people are the only ones I know who brag about how LITTLE they pay for their horses. All the other horse sports brag about how much they gave for theirs.
