<< Also with the Arabian racing indurstry culling horses, there is a
large natural supply of potential horses. So why would anyone need to pay
$10,000 for a green four year old when there are 100's of five and six year
old horses off the track for $1000?
>>
I can't imagine having to pay anywhere near $10,000 for a horse. In contrast,
I have had horses off the track, and time and hay put into that cheap
"prospect" in order to get him ready for any kind of activity pretty well
makes up for the purchase price of an individual who is further laong.
$3-5000 for an individual of excellent pedigree, conformation, disposition
and ready to compete is a better investment that the $1000 race track
production horse who needs a year at least to become what the first horse is.
I figure at about $1000 a year to keep a horse in your back yyard let alone
board or train, soemthin has been lost already. We are talking about a
moderate market, not meat market, nor the Wayne Newton price range. That
arena seems to be a good investment. Has been for us for 22 years.
