[RC] selling horses - nickiyoung

Getting back to my original question - are we better off selling the mare for 
whatever we can get now or do you think with more riding we would have a better 
chance of selling her for $3000+ later?  It easily costs $50-150/month to keep 
a horse if nothing goes wrong.  The mare has had no bad experiences, just 
limited experiences off the farm.  She is safe, ties, bathes, trailers great, 
crosses water, OK with traffic and dogs etc just needs miles.  This is not a 
broken horse or a throw away.  Her sire's get that have tried endurance have 
ALL top tenned rides, the 3 that did much endurance all ended up ranked for the 
year, one was the best horse I will EVER own.  Everyone says they want to find 
the cheap prospect that they can then go on to win the world with (like 
Kanavy's Cash) but apparently no one wants to put the effort into doing it.  I 
have never paid over $2500 for a horse other than our stallion but I knew I was 
getting what I was paying for.....green prospects that I then did something 
with.  Most everyone that calls us wants the proven 100 mile horse for the 
prospect price.  Maybe I will start riding this mare and then laugh at the 
people who called and did not even want to look at her, once she wins her first 
100.  Thanks for the input, Nicki
