Location: Missouri | rockstarinboots - 2015-10-20 11:27 AM I love looking at all the Weanlings that are for sale. If money was no option, find one that you would buy and post them. Also tell us why you would buy that one. I'm curious what everyone looks for in a weanling.
This one. Because he's gorgeous.

But after spending a bunch of time with her getting her ready, I think I'm crazy to even consider it. At this point I think I'll just keep her! She is about as close to perfect as I could expect. I think that was my opinion all along !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Don't listen to them (wives)--it's a trap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Location: Northwest Florida | I've never bought a weanling, I just don't have the patience it takes to raise a baby and wait to ride it!
However, if I was going to buy one it would definitely be a little filly by the name of Carly.

Location: Gainesville, TX | I don't buy weanlings. I breed them. I have bought broodmares though eventually it is my goal to breed all my own. But you have to get started somewhere. It is always my objective to have top bloodlines and GOOD LOOKING plus POWER PACKED PEDIGREE plus COLOR sells babies. I prefer to sell weanlings over yearlings because its less feed. I've sold two so far and will have another for sale this next year. I have two hitting the ground but I'm keeping one of them. I decide which one's I'm selling or keeping before they get here. This lets me have the right emotional/lack-of-emotional attachment to them at sale time. I'm proud of my babies for sale but not emotionally attached so its easy to let them go on to new homes. I will say a great feed program for babies and broodies is important to keep them looking great. After you've weaned them and put them out to pasture and they get potbellies and long winter hair they are no longer pretty and easy to sell. Better to sell them in summer or early fall when they are shed out and still nursing and super healthy. If momma looks bad, baby also probably looks bad. Picking good looking studs obviously helps with pretty babies too.
We sell our babies halter broke, loading in the trailer, pick up their feet (they've all seen a farrier a few times), brush them, had a blanket on at least a few times, wash them, and touch them all over. It helps them be safer down the road even if the new owner decides to turn them out as yearlings. I have listed here and on Facebook groups primarily. This last one I sold I never even advertised. Lady just contacted me and bought him. I like it when they are that easy.

Location: North Dakota | So I was going to play this little game since I will not be buying another prospect for a long time...a girl can dream and I have to say....just because you have a well bred foal on paper doesn't mean you don't have to put some effort into a nice ad. I was drawn to several horses ads based off their pics alone....I prefer low headed and solid legged (very little white) but there is a high dollar colt I opened the ad and if they really think they are going to sell that colt with those pics......
Anyway kudos to those of you who take some time and put some good minds into these babies, put some good pics-not professional just well lit and put on a simple easy to read ad, you should be able to sell easily and thanks it makes dreaming fun, plus if I hear of someone looking I will send them your way.
Some people.....
sorry for the rant
