Sigh...how come the horse I want and the horse I can afford are often two different things?

Okay, minor vent over, carry on. Just day dreaming looking at nice horses.  Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for what I have, I shouldn't browse the horses for sale, LOL.

I'm with you! Way back when Daddy still loved me, I could buy very nice horses. Now, I have to sift through a bunch of stuff and find the ones that I can hopefully turn into those very nice horses that I can no longer afford! lol

Oh man, I just saw one(didn't last long) that was SO nice and he was a steal! I really wanted to throw a fit about not being able to afford another horse lol

one of my highs in life is getting a "nothing" horse or a ruined one and making it into something that can win. Used to do it all the time on the h/j circuit. Now that Mommy and Daddy aren't paying for my horse shows anymore and I can't afford h/j circuit shows, I hope to make a few nice barrel racers.

There is nothing more rewarding to me than knowing I made nothing into a great something!!

Yep, champagne taste and beer money...more like ginger ale money, LOL. I like making them too, but the one I really like right now is only $45,000, LOL. But, since I can't mortgage enough to get that, I think I'll be making my own, again, LOL. My mare, that I love, love, love, is one of those horses that I got for cheap and made her into something (with help from trainers, of course) and she is the best horse I have ever had (so far) even though she isn't the fastest. But she is gonna become a momma this year, and my main mount is going to be out of use. So I thought I could find something to run, but am not finding what I can afford. So, I'll probably get another prospect and go the long, hard way. :)

I'm in the same boat! I have to buy what I can afford and put the work in myself. You spend less money and I believe the payoff is greater than hopping on one that someone else made.

I have found some really nice prospects, but they are always a couple of states over.

Man, if I had the money I'd buy Budlight! Lol. I can't believe Christine is selling him!

I wish I could make my own! I'm mentoring under one of our top 1D girls right now so hopefully one day I can!
I also have my reining trainer for horsemanship! I'm starting late in the game at 26. Learned how to ride in my backyard and just got back into riding 2 years ago, but REALLY got back into it last year.

One day.

I bought 5 tickets tonight! I'll share if I win! :P

Fancy barrel horse for you, and for you, and a fancy barrel horse for you, you, you & you! (Oprah daydream moment)
