Re: Anyone want to buy me a horse?
I wish you couldn't. :( Around here anyway, it used to be that you could not get anything sound and rideable for under $2,000. I'd love to see it get back there. Training costs money whether you do it yourself or send them out. If trained horses only sell for less than it cost to send them to the trainer, no one will bother training their low-quality stock any more and things will only get worse.
Re: Anyone want to buy me a horse?
Isn't it crazy how much prices have dropped. Smokes doesn't have a perfect gait (he needs more work on it, but he is decent), but I haven't seen Walkers with such low prices around here. Especially for a young, sound, completely broke, been-there, done-that attitude type of a horse. I have been using him for rides with the green horses because he doesn't freak about anything, not deer, cattle, dogs, even being trailed by coyotes didn't phase him. He is going for a lot less than he is worth. I'd take him in a heartbeat if I could, but alas, I am poor. I just found out that I have to pay $650 to just sign up to take the national board exam...plus WA state licensing, plus test facility fees...*sigh*
Here is his pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/hi+ho+s…" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Anyone recognize any lines?
Re: Anyone want to buy me a horse?
OMG - YES, I recogonise a lot of those names. My own top bred TWH shared several of those names (Midnight Sun and any of the Allen line would get you top dollar for just about any TW - even here). Of course a similar pedigree here would go for about $800-$1k (significantly more than the similiar bred ones that I got free)

:? Could you work something out? It sounds like your friend can get some use out of him while you get your act together?
