I didn't read the entire thing because the last page embarrassed me. WHO CARES where people get THEIR money to buy THEIR horses?! Some go to the bank and borrow it, some have wealthy parents, some have very good jobs, some (like me) buy cheap stuff and train them their self, heck some may sell drugs to pay for their habit... but at the end of the day- how is this YOUR business?!? THIS is the problem I have with a great number of barrel racers, not all, but a vast majority. So many people get caught up on what everyone else is doing. Worry about YOU and YOUR horse. Not anyone else. Who cares what they have, what works for them or how they got something. If you ride a $500 saddle and your horse is winning, does it really matter if the horse next to you is packing a $5000 saddle? NOOO. My point is, do you. Stay in your own lane. Figure out what works for you and do that and quit worrying so much about things that aren't your business to begin with. If people spent half as much time and energy worrying about their own dang lives as they did worrying about how someone else had something nicer than they did, maybe in that time they could have made their 3D horse a 2d horse!! Spend your energy on bettering yourself!! Don't spend it on other people! It wasn't asked person specific with anyone in mind - it was a very general statement. Be embarrassed all you want, I feel absolutely no shame for it. It was a broad statement, said to a group of people that all "know" each other. Not sure why asking is so offensive. And I do mind my own business, but this however is a DISCUSSION board, where well, things get discussed.
have a great day :)
Yes, her $10,000 horse question was about pricing and what do you expect from a horse in that price range, not how people pay for it, she has one for sale. | |

rcoe - 2017-09-13 10:19 AM tin can - 2017-09-12 5:57 PM I miss when you could buy a twenty five hundred dollar two year old train it show it and make a little money. They are still out there I think too many just get hung up on a number, if it costs more it must be better. My daughters main horse has been a solid 2D horse for several years and also runs low 21 second pole times. Paid less than 2K as a 6 year old. New mare we got a couple years ago is running middle of 1D but still needs a bit of seasoning to become more consistant and fine tune a couple things. Paid 2500 as a 6 year old. Good horses can certainly be found for under 10k.
Yes....according to most people, Texas is the only place that has true 1D horses.  | |

| I just picked up a mare for $8000. Fantastic papers green broke sound loads of potential she is bred to be a big time horse. So I guess you can find them lol | |
