[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 573731, member: 6496"] It's a catch 22. For a well trained polished horse that is an easy keeper with no vices, I'd pay about anything. This slaughter ban has really threw a wrench into everything though. $2,000 around here is the top of the market, you have to have something special to get that price. I used to keep a padlock on my pasture gates to keep trespassers out now I'm more worried about them trying to drop horses off. When selling horses you have to be prepared to wait for the right buyer who will pay what you are asking. We just sold a gelding that we'd had advertised extensively for two years. We got our price, but we also had two more years of keep into him. I'd say good luck and don't get discouraged! [/QUOTE]
