I'm on the sidelines so been just watching for sale horses. 

I know every person has their own reasonings but as a whole

Are people selling bc the market great right now? has there been any changes? Are they selling bc afraid of the future? 

I have seen a couple of posts that person selling everything to get out completely but it out of character for this person to do this.  Guess that's why I'm wondering.  their horses doing really good so I know its not bc want better or another horse.

I'm seeing a wide range of prices on horses that on same levels

My friend that owns a western store said she was talking to a saddle guy and he told her that in all the years in the saddle business this is the busiest he ever been!

So whats going on in the horse biz???

We had a great year. Our sales were up & we sold eveything we had for sale plus a couple. Everyone we have talked to in the horse business had a good yr. 

It has been a great year to sell.  Maybe people are just simplifying.

People could be working from home more, so they have "more time" to work with their horses.  I have been doing well with client's horses, but I am picky where my personal horses go.  Things are busy though!  Horses, trailers, saddles, puppies. . everything seems to be selling.  I swear it is because people are home more.

Others are taking this time to reorganize their life.  We all have phases.  We are young an ambitious.  Raise kids.  Then we become caregivers to our parents.  Could have other personal issues that arise and cause us to make changes.  Poeple adjust with their life and then they decide how much time they will dedicate to their interest.  

Seems like this time of the year with winter coming on, alot of people sell alot of livestock to get them off their feed bill, the horse prices start to drop a bit I have notice this time of the year, And some peoples life changes and go in a different direction that dont include horses, people get married, have kids, get old, getting divorce, death. 

I want anohter one! but I am waiting to see how my horse heals and see what will happen with him.  Even If I can run him I still want another but either way I am waiting til after the first of the year.
