Re: [RC] [RC] Selling (buying) horses - Juli Jakub


Here Here!! I love the ones no one else wants! because you are right, without people like us who have the skill and the dedication and the lack of common sense : ) horses like that have no future. And keep your head up I have successfully re trained and then sold some of those rescues...including a TB that cost barely anything and sold for 12...and an abused Appendix QH that was cheap and sold for 10. It does happen and I applaud you for your heart. But it isn't for everyone and it can be dangerous so it is not something I suggest for everybody...but it is rewarding! I am glad those three horses found you!

I can do it, the horses needed out of their current <br>&gt;situation, and I liked the horses they could become.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;I paid a pretty penny for one of my horses because I'd always loved <br>&gt;him.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;My point? I'd rather buy the rescue or retrain because a confirmed <br>&gt;bolter, rearer, or agressive horse isn't going to have much of a <br>&gt;future without someone like me. A good calm, kind, sweet horse has <br>&gt;much better chances of finding a good home (like you :). I have <br>&gt;dicey moments, this year I've come off 3 times (off my newest horse <br>&gt;when I first got him), but it's what works for me. Eventually, I'll <br>&gt;get my endurance horse, but I can't pass up a skinny/abused horse <br>&gt;just because he doesn't fit the bill for what I want. Once the horse <br>&gt;is retrained they're more saleable (I keep saying that, but now have <br>&gt;the only 3 horses I've ever owned... I still own them!)<br>&gt;<br>&gt;It's all in what you want and what you'll put into a horse. No <br>&gt;offense meant to anyone...<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Steph<br>&gt;<br>&gt;=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.<br>&gt;Information, Policy, Disclaimer: http://www.endurance.net/Ridecamp<br>&gt;Subscribe/Unsubscribe http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/logon.asp<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Ride Long and Ride Safe!!<br>&gt;<br>&gt;=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br>&gt;<br></font></BLOCKQUOTE>
