is right up there with speed dating on match dot com... Ive also come to the conclusion too many novice owners buy young horses that should have bought the older broker horse... I also will never pass on a horse with to much white ever again Seriously a huge deficit of broke horses in the 6-15 range in a 8 hour ride around me.... More mares than green geldings too.
I think both sides of seling/buying is hard. I have a really nice mare for sale and have had little to no interest. I specifically said in the ad she is not for a beginner type rider and I keep getting people that want a horse anyone can ride. Hello? have you read my ad? I need the mare sold but I am not willing to sell her to just anyone.
Ive cut back 6 head and am working on 3/4 more so I get the selling part. Its a lot harder with insurance to be bought everyones adjusting to that much less :(. Your mare is gorgeous by the way! Im not to frustrated honestly just whiney and battling a cold and sick kids!
