That's the point. I can maybe sell a papered horse for $2500, I can sell a grade well broke trail horse for $2000, I can sell a child proof horse for $1500-2000, I can even sell a young horse for $1500, but it's not going to be all in one horse. Costs alone average $75 per month per horse, stud fees can run up to $1000, nowhere can you get a horse saddle broke for less than $300 per month for 30days riding.And only time, lot's of time gets a child proof horse - time in training and age in the horse.

My daughter was riding the little Arabian mare, when I came home tonight. I had been to calling hours and had good shoes and pants on, but still climbed up on her. That was the first time I rode her, since she came back from the trainers. She is such a nice little mare.

On the way home from calling hours,(girl I work with, father had passed away) I saw that some old friends of mine were having a garage sale. These people are old trail riding buddies of mine. I knew they had sold their horses, but it was so sad to see all their horse and camping items for sale. A lot of really good memories with them. He has a bad back, and they just didn't ride anymore.
