Location: Somewhere around here | If your looking for a new house and your price range went up to $10,000 what are you looking for and expecting from the horse? A very well bred 2 year old? A horse winning in the 1D? I feel like it could be a range of things and hard to deem a horse worth $10,000. Not saying there aren't horses out there with that, and more, but I'm just trying to get your personal opinion about it. |

| 10k might get you a solid 3D horse. Solid 1d horses go for 40k up and over 100k. Some pay 10k for an unbroke prospect. |

| A well bred two year old, consistent 2D/3D that has a record of winning. Have a friend whose horses win money in 3D no matter how many horses. I wood have paid 10,000 for either one. A horse that is 3D and is kid gentle |

| I just sold a nice 5 yr old Frenchmans Fabulous gelding who is super gentle, well patterned, but green to a jr rodeo girl for 17.5k
He was worth every penny because he can carry her thru college rodeo 10 yrs down the line. Price is very subjective to the quality of horse you have for sale |

Price is very subjective to the quality of horse you have for sale I paid 18K for a 6 year old, nice breeding but no big names, well patterned, will not run by a barrel, but very green. Agree price is very subjective, there are so many variables. Most adds I see in the 10K range vary from designer weanlings to older 3D/4D horses.

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I think it also depends on the area your in as well. 10k here in ohio can get you a seasoned/older solid 1D horse. But it can also get you a young, broke, bred okay prospect depending on who you're dealing with. |

I am in Ohio also and I haven't seen a legit 1d horse go for 10 grand unless it has a boatload of maintenance issues. |

| 3D/4D finished horse or a prospect that is riding good, with good papers. |

Location: Georgia | I also think it depends on the area. Here in north GA it can probably get you a pretty decently bred prospect, maybe something lightly started. Or a solid 2d/3d horse. |

Location: Louisiana | It all depends where you are...
In SE Louisiana... it varies LOL
You literally could buy ANYTHING with $10,000 haha.
Well bred baby.
2-3yo off track.
Started prospect.
Super consistent 3-4D
Kid safe youth horse.
Middle of the road all-around horse, not a winner but will get you points in every event.
All the way up to a 1D gelding if you get lucky.
It's all in knowing your market, buyers and sellers.
Our local NBHA district is VERY tough. People travel to run our district.
In the 1D we may have a $100,000 horse, a $30,000 horse, a $5,000 horse, and a freebie, no joke. They're worth what you're willing to pay LOL.
It also depends on how patient you are.
How sentimental the seller is, etc.
Some people will spend it like it's nothing, and some think $5,000 is a lot for a horse. It's all relative!!
Also, a different jockey can sometimes make a $10,000 difference...or even just simply hauling one.
My good gelding belonged to a trainer who never had the time or room to haul him. So he had no record at all, hadn't taken any videos. A mutual friend knew I was looking and knew he had one sitting in the barn on the feed bill.

If I pay 10k for a horse it better be a 1D every run, no maint needed, 1000% sound, fire breathing, babysitter, free runner, all around, perfect confirmation, every single "In" Stud as his sire, every AQHA Hall of Fame Dam as his momma, type Unicorn!  
On a serious note, I'm in N TX and 10k won't buy much here unless people don't know what they have....  |

Location: Illinois | Where I'm from (IL) $10,000 can get you all over the map. I just paid under $6K for a 3 year old with decent bloodlines in my opinion. She's a granddaughter of Marthas Six Moons on top and Alive N Firen on the bottom. The Marthas Six Moons is crossed on a Bully Bullion daughter and the Alive N Firen is crossed on a Beduino granddaughter. She's paid in full to FF and Lance Graves bought a yearling from the same mare for $23K. The dam is a 1D horse and proven 1D producer so far. So it all depends on a lot of factors. I feel like I got a really good deal on my mare, but she's also only got about 60-90 days on her as a 3 year old at this point, otherwise she would have been more I think. I know people who have paid $30K for 2D horses in the area, I know people who have gotten nice 3D horses in their teens for under $5k, one just got a 1D mare that's not bred like anything and she paid under $5K. So it's literally all over the map and dependent on where you buy I think. Time of year seems to make a difference too. Like prospects seem to be cheaper in the fall here and finished horses go up in the fall after being hauled all year. But I think $10K should get at least something 3/4D with many years left to run or a fairly well bred prospect |

| I know where there is 3 legit 1D horses right now for 10,000 and under. Owners are needing to sell for various reasons. So I think it's the area,economic conditions and how quick owner is wanting to wanting to sell. |

Location: Texas | it depends...
If you are a hand and can pick a diamond in the rough, it can get you a really good horse that may need a little work. Our two best horses were bought this way, both very cheap, but were risks because they hadn't competed in a long time. They are now in their mid-late teens, one of them is still competing at the 1D level and the other is taking a year off.
If you want to pay 10k for something with no problems or issues ready to go right now you are probably looking at in the 3D range, unless the horse is 15+ years old. The older the horse, the more likely you can get a good one that requires maintenance for under 20k.
10k can also get you a pretty decent prospect. Up to lightly broke 2YO... some nicer 3YOs can be bought for that if they aren't quite ready for the juvenile right now...or they were intentionally kept to run at 5. But the older they are and the more training they have, the less likely they will be willing to sell them cheap unless they really want them gone. |

| Around here a finished 8-15 yr old 2/3D horse. I Bought a super nice 1/2D 17 yr old for less than that. 100% sound. Quiet in the warm up pen and at the gate. My 5 yr old rides him at her gymkanas. (I think I found a unicorn) |
