Re: [RC] selling horses - Linda NicholsTitle: Re: [RC] selling horses I have never been able to make any money selling horses. No one wants to pay for all the time and money invested in a good horse. $500 a year just for food for 5 years is $2500 just to feed the dang horse. Where’s the stud fee? Where’s the vet bills, the shoeing, the hours spent training the horse to respect you and lead up nice? Where’s the months of training under saddle? The hours spent conditioning the horse? Someone else said it costs about $500 to take a horse to a ride, how are you going to recoup that? Those people who want a conditioned, campaigned horse for $1000-$1500 obviously have no idea or any clue and no knowledge of horses AT ALL. They are raw beginners, not worthy of your horse, not capable of riding your horse safely and sanely. They will take your horse and ruin all the work you put into it and run it into the ground. That kind of person wants an easy way into this sport. Endurance, it’s about the owner as much as it is about the horse.Linda -- "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" -- Unknown
