Again, I didn't post what I was looking for, on this BB because you are NOT allowed to advertise, and I respect that. As for wanting a mare, I like mares. If she cannot ever be bred, that is TOTALLY FINE - in fact, someone emailed me about such a mare who would not be able to be rebred, but was wonderful around children. If this woman is near me, this is something I would certainly be interested in. I am NOT out looking for a bred mare either, and have no interest in doing so. I just wanted it to be known that I also wouldn't refuse a bred mare either.
I understand that show quality Minis go for thousands of dollars, and being that I have been showing full sized horse for 20 years, I also understand the dedication, time, and costs that are involved with that. However, as I keep saying over and over again....I am ONLY wanting a companion for my companion Mini. Thats IT. I just can't justify paying $1,000 or even $800 on something that just to be a buddy for my overgrown yard dog - much as I do love him. Heck, if I have to, I'll get him a Goat
"The amount you spent on your pony was exorbitant around here unless it was trained in western and english and would pony club, at which point you got a heck of a good deal."
Well, in the pony show world, while the jack of all trade ponies like the one you just described are wonderful pets, the money is in Hunters. Take a look at the Pony Finals going on in Ky right now. The majority of this ponies are worth several hundred THOUSAND dollars.
Yes, I agree the price of that over sized mare was fair, and I may go back and buy her, but the seller isn't desperate to sell, and I would rather keep looking a bit more, so it works out no matter what. Again, I am sorry to have ruffled your feathers, but for future reference, if a potential buyer ever ruffles those feathers of yours again, you may want to just contact that buyer directly instead of just dragging it all out on a public BB.
Now, if you have anything else to say to me, I would rather you just PT me, as I don't feel anyone would really care to read any more of our little squabble.
"and the price for the oversize mare is right in line....so it was $100 over the amount you wanted to spend? I got to tell you if you do not have the funds to negotiate the sale of a nice horse...how would you afford to vet one?"
My ponies are all up to date on their shots, worming, Coggins, trims, etc, and while we don't have a alot of money, if one needed emergancy surgery etc. we would just find a way to pay for it. So, whats wrong with trying to save money? You know, I understand that there is no such thing as a free horse, as I once got a 17 hand New Zealand TB for free because he was sick and crazy. I nursed him back and he was the best horse I ever owned, but I hate to think of all the $$ he cost, lol, but of course it was all worth it. Buying the horse is normally teh cheapest part - but nothing wrong in wanting to save money.
