Our 45k horse with my daughter would win lD locally with 200 + entries and be just out of the 1D money at big shows. We competed against a jam up cutting bred horse in high school rodeo that was purchased for $2500- he won everything. He sold last year for 50K (which was a steal but sellers wanted him to go to a great home), runs 17.0s on a standard and has qualified for The American. Talent comes in all price ranges-if you can find it and develop it. ^^this

Expert Posts: 2097 Location: Deep South	HotPants - 2013-12-05 9:39 AM 1d locally 2d big shows..... I agree with this. By big shows I mean HUGE shows, and maybe top of the 2D, maybe 1D but out of the money. Those that think it's crazy, you have to think there's horses selling for $100k, $150k, $200k, how would they justify those prices if you could buy a horse for $60k and win the 1D all the time and go to the NFR?

Don't Wanna Make This Awkward Posts: 3106 Location: Texas	A horse that could win the BBR finals, D&D, the biggest open shows out there... Not seasoned to rodeos yet, not the easiest horse to ride but if you can ride the horse you can win. With that kind of money the best thing to do would be take 2 30k horses that have never been to rodeos before, season them and they might just make NFR horses, if not resell and try again. A solid backup NFR caliber horse, not a stingray, or latte or duke. The horse that can place but will probably never layout an arena record rodeo run. More solid and probably over the age of 12. Needs hocks injected. Could get you to the NFR if you hauled to every rodeo and kept him/her sound all year. Either way you will get a GOOD horse for 60k. The chances that it is your once in a lifetime horse or a horse that everyone remembers as the best are slim.

They can't justify them now! It's called to much money and not enough brains!

You may be right if I was Darcy LaPier and married rich guys I might think differently! I think I would still take my chances with a few outstanding prospects and use that money towards a top notch trainer.

Elite Veteran Posts: 907 Location: a secret	Remember years ago when there were no divisional races, horses values were quite different. The 4d and 5 d horse is valuable to someone, not all barrel racers want to or can ride a 1d horse. So with that said, I haven seen starter good kids horses in the 4d and they command good mone!y! so, if you want to get to the 1d the cost naturally increases. As you all are well aware when the reins change hands things happen, you may be able to ride or you may not. I think Lance Graves said it perfectly people will win and losers and lose on winners. I belive it is not only the cost that should come into play its the click factor........... If you are talented enough to train your own your lucky some of us are not. JMO>>>>
