:) IF I had a palomino blanketed appy, unless he was ugly or uncontrolable, he wouldn't be a gelding, he'd be a stud.

I like palominos although I don't particularly care for palomino apps but that's what all the world wants right now. But if I had one, the stud fee would be $1000 :)

I'm amazed at what people will and won't pay for horses. A friend spent $10,000 this spring on a trained western pleasure paint, yet people want a fully trained, kid broke, totally sound, young horse for $1200.

Except for the sound part, you probably aren't going to find a fully trained kid broke young horse anywhere. :-p I don't know where people get these ideas. I assume it's because they don't know much.

I don't think I've ever seen a palomino app.

I can find kid safe horses for under $2000 but they aren't young and usually aren't sound. They do require some help to stay comfortable.

I think there are people out there that want the "perfect horse" which anyone who has been the horse business for at least a few years knows doesn't exist. And they want that perfect horse for $1000.
