Did you just spam for the precious hundred post? ;~D
YEs...sorry...I have never been in the position to get one of those, and overwhelming urge hit:).
$1000 around here is pretty high right now for and almost unbroke horse.
Heather is 14. She has some tack, but not an English saddle. She has a saddle like ecurbh. I don't really think her parents will/can board one. They have 4 kids and her dad is a preacher. I think they may have been feeling me out to see if I would board it for her for the price of feed. And I can't do that. What little space I have if I don't have a horse in it I want to keep it open for horses that I hope to ride for others as I am doing now with Reba.
I agree with you that horse pricing has no rules. I'm asking, IMO, top dollar for Harley and won't sell him till I get it. I'm looking to sell him to someone who wants to keep one and not looking to sell it themselves. Like a kid who wants to grow up with the same horse. Even Heather who has experience in jumping says he'd make a good jumper/English pleasure. She makes him so pretty when she rides him. I'm going to borrow my daughters English saddle and take some pictures of him next week with her riding him. I still think he would make an excellent English Show horse. He just moves like one.
