And she didn't insult anybody asking $3000 for a 10 year old untrained horse that she probably got burned on? Well, she didn't insult me. She can ask 3 mil and I still wouldn't bat an eye.
Her property, her price. My interest would be pure speculation with perhaps a little bit of greed mixed in.

I think it's also possible he's just a hot horse, and she's just too meek or inexperienced to handle him. I trust Bay with my life, but he's hot enough to initmatidate a beginner that would be frightened if he snorted at something.
This horse very well may be worth $3000 to an experienced hunter jumper. They pay a lot more than that for green prospects. He's sight unseen for us, and wasn't worth more than $800 to Tuffy as a resale prospect. All this discussion really demonstrates is that horse pricing is the more art than science. A horse's value can be all over the board depending on who you are and what you intend to do with the horse.
