Actually you sound like the loser, and you make the horse sound like one too.

I doubt the breeder of the horse would be happy to see you describe her as a "cheap horse".

But you could check out the Thoroughbred Times and Blood Horse. The Times has a classified section and the Blood Horse probably does.
TT and BH are good ideas I have no idea why I forgot about them, thank you.

Hmm maybe I am the loser. Maybe I should reword the ad. I mean, this is how I wrote it ;)
Big time Thoroughbred breeders! Here she is!! THE one you have been waiting for! Most amazingist horse ever foaled! No pics but I can tell you she has grate confirmation and a very prety tail too. Her foal hasn't raced yet but I knwo he's going to win teh Kintecky Dirby. Now I kno what you ar thinking. How much will you pay for this fabulus animal? Well she's not 200 000 you can have her for the low price of only $2500. And bred you're own Kenticky Derby winner.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No, seriously, she's a cheap=o. Won around 20K, hasn't anyone racing yet, open for 09. Was purchased originally for the broodie band off a $15K claimer. Had her evaluated last year at $2-3K open. Not the most horrendous ride ever, but really very hot and sensitive, and having a hard time shifting her balance off the forehand. I mean, she really won't have a future either showing (and hoping to win) or being a pleasure mount. So where's the market for that. I'm sure somone would love to ride her- a kid who likes to zoom around or a barrel racer?? I dunno.. but what I do is the ol' sporthorse thing, so her market would be right out of my element, and for $2500 I'm not having everyone and their uncle out to the barn for a pony ride on a hot horse. Hot temperment, small size and long back are likely hereditary; not really the chance I want to take when I'm breeding to a nice warmblood for the sporthorse market. Honestly, let's call a spade a spade here.
But what I was told by people who know FAR more than me, is she has 'great' lines but is not out of a stallion known for throwing broodmares, nor a famous brood dam. Thus she appeals to the lower level TB breeder market here. I had one agent calling me back to actually buy her last year (he had to hang up b/c he was going thru a tunnel or something) then he never called ?!?!?! I do believe he lost my # as he seriously just dissappeared. Bummer.

SingMia that's good to know! I had no idea.(PS I'm in Alberta Canada, not sure if you have any connections here?) I'm going to grab a good confo pic tomorrow (that is.. horse picture gods willing) and think about how everyone here votes to have a pic. Truthfully, if she doesn't sell, I'll just keep riding her. No biggie. It's always difficult to sell a nice horse with NO health/maintenence/keeping issues just b/c she's not really fancy enough. But.. there's a niche for everyone, and hers is probably in going to a nice breeding pasture for some hopefull small time breeder.


And the good luck wishes are not coming through ahem ahem!!!!! :brickwall: Loookie what I got tonight:

~Sniff~ we miss you! :,(
Noooo no no no San-wah my nurse-brood-dragon-mommy-aunt person!!!!!
I showed up and thanked you and showed off the babes for a while, but maybe you missed that? It was only one post, I think.
School is beeeeeeeeeeeeeee-sy!!! Another reason we're looking for the easy way out with miss Hesta. School was the reason we didn't breed her to handsome mr Saint Stephen (yep Ashado's full baby brudder) in the first place last year... looks like it was a wise decision in some ways, but harder in others.
But..yeah..mostly school.. well heck, ALL school, is the reason I've been away.

Must be working though- I've got marks in the 90's. I wanna keep it up though, and I even finished the one course early so I could concentrate on just this one other course- which is taking like 6 hours a day. WHAT am I going to do when it's four courses at once. Oy.

Labs these past two??three???weeks have been killer, but there's only a few left and they should be easier. I *might* have a little break in March (but then again, might not).

But loves and smooches for missing me!!!! All my draggies are safe and sound, but like Hesta, I'm not in the mood for letting them all breed while school has me in a headlock :psycho:


ps wah-wah, I LOVE your new baby butterfly wolf!!!!!!!!
