Extreme Veteran Posts: 557 Location: Kansas and loving it	Is it possible to buy a weanling and then resale as a 2 or 3 yr old to make a little side money?

I think the key to making $ this way to have them 6 mos max. And that's not guaranteed. Example, 2013 Fulton Performance Horse Sale Results ASOF weanlings $12,000 ASOF 3 & 4 year olds $14,500 I haven't seen them, but I bet those 3&4 yr olds have a nice handle on them. And you spend a heckuva lot more than $2500 in those 2-3 years keepin' em.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 557 Location: Kansas and loving it	Thanks for all of the advice. There is a Famous Bugs colt out of Whisper of Magnolia for sale. I thought about trying to pin hook like they do with TBs. I guess I will stick with my two jobs a little bit more. Edited by rockette 2013-12-05 8:25 PM
