[RC] [RC] andalusians in endurance Ed Kilpatrick, Apology - DRG1
Hi Ed,
I apologize for the comments. I don’t know how to
reply privately by email to someone on ridecamp, so I will do this publicly.
Andalusians ARE beautiful, athletic horses, & I
wish I had had one years ago when I was looking for a warm blood. My own 1st
horse (grade Appy) had gotten elderly & went blind in 1983. So I was
looking for another horse. These were the actual prices I was quoted back in
1983 for a warmblood filly weanling that was in Missouri. I didn’t/couldn’t
afford it back then.
I ended up switching to western riding & Quarter horses
because that’s what I could afford for the next 20 years.
Recently (last year), I happened to be at a warmblood stable
out here with a friend, & they did want $8000 for a green 6 YO Dutch
warmblood mare, the rest were not even for sale, under 5 figures.
Apparently you are a reasonable breeder & want the best
for the breed. I apologize to you, & believe me, the comments were not
directed at people like you. I am sorry.
