RELIC - Those are beautiful horses, I would proudly buy one from you at reduced prices or not!!! Where are you located?
l don't find it's a waste of my time and resources to produce horses that sell for $1000 or less. l also don't feel we produce horses that are in the toliet though l've heard some say we do. We have our share of real pets for various reasons beyound our control like everyone else we give away to good homes or only ask 100/200 for. l've been told and called many things by other breeders but what business is it of there's to tell me what l should breed for when l already found l enjoy what l do produce. We are and always well be a backyard breeder if thats what you want to call it...we or rather l enjoy the title as l'm not trying to be better or outdo some else and l sure in the heck don't have visions of making money or the need to go far in the ring. For all you's that complain so much about low prices just make sure YOU have the best and the rest should take care of itself if that's the case. We enjoy the mini for what they are have our fools each year to love on what more can you ask when thats what gives satisfaction. We are not ashamed of raising pets we take to shows and sell for next to nothing... beauty is in the eye money is in the mind. Go ahead flame l'm out of the closet and not ashamed to admit l AM A HAPPY BACKYARD BREEDER and have no shame. Here is what you get for $1000 or less these were stallions at the time of sale now geldings mares and fillies are priced the same.
I wish more backyard breeders bred the quality of horse you are displaying :aktion033: They are really nice:
I have to agree with what someone said about big farms/ names not necessarily producing quality. I know of three individuals not in the miniature horse industry anymore, who would buy pedigree, didn't matter a darn what the horse looked like :lol: But; I bought him/ her from so & so, he or she is by so & so. What they didn't realize is even though they paid high dollar for their horses, they were the big farms culls. They could have looked around and gone to a small breeder or as Relic refers to herself, a backyard breeder, and gotten three times the quality for much less price. I believe the term backyard breeder has a negative image attached to it as people tend to visualize a herd of nasty looking animals thrown out together in a field or paddock to reproduce at will, such as some puppy mill type images we've all seen. I guess it is all in how a person interprets the words.
I believe that a person who knows good conformation and breeds to produce good conformation really can't go wrong.
Relic, obviously you are the type of backyard breeder which is an asset to the breed, beautifull stock:
I think for me anyway there is a HUGE difference- I realize not everyone shows I realize not everyone cares about champion lines. I realize there are plenty of mutts out there in wonderful homes. HOwever I also realize how many both mutt and purebred dogs are put down daily the numbers are staggering. I have adopted several from the pound but the numbers are there simply cause someone wanted to have some cute puppies with really not alot of thought into the future lives of them. NOt alot of thought into the huge numbers being killed daily.Not everyone is out for quality. Like someone said, only 10% of minis are shown, therefore there is still 90% that are normal horses. I don't think that everyone wants a top notch horse, or one that is going to win at shows. It seems like the horse owners I know, aren't very picky about the horses they have, but love them anyways. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not in how much the horse is worth. Do you know how many mutt dogs there are out there, but they still find wonderful homes because people who want a "dog" has them? Pedigree isn't everything to everyone!!! It amazes me how most of the people on this forum look down on the minis that aren't champion material.
