I have thoughts on this, but I'm curious to what you guys think. When I rode Hawk today I put his billy allen reining bit on and hopped up bareback. He has...
Trout-Creek's Rajha and Pushin Dave's Dream announce the birth of a 91 pound filly today (TWH). Don't know yet if she's black or black silver. She has really...
I have a Beautiful AQHA PHBA GOLDEN Palomino Mare I have been trying to sell her because I am trying to get down to just 2 horses. Her age of 17 is hurting her...
You know, I feel the same way. BUT the way I look at it, if these people want to try their luck at the sale barn- let em! Those hospital bills will add up to...
Hi Lisa I agree, but there are RARE occassions that you can find I bought a PONY for my Grandson a year ago today. The Pony has been WONDERFUL. My grandson...
Good Evening I have a Grulla Reinging mare that was getting WELTS from fly bites all over her especially her legs. This Year I started feeding "GARLIC POWDER"...
I agree with the exception. BUT in order to find the exception, you really need to have the experience to know the difference between those that can be...
I couldn't agree with you more. I know of people paying more then that for just house dogs (not that I have any problems with dogs because I don't. Love them...

Hi, I agree also, but the main reason the horse prices are down is the shut downs and cut backs of horse slaughter plants. Historically the price of horses go...
Like I posted before I agree that the price of 200-500 seems low for a horse. What I don' t get or would like to know is about stud fees. I see every where...
Supply and demand is the driving force behind the selling price of anything, including horses and stud fees. Since there is a (theoretical) limit to the get...
The stud fee depends on the type horse you are breeding. I have friends that have decent studs that I can get a deal on breeding my mares to. Like if the stud...
While i personally dont believe that the topic of slaughter belongs on this list.. i find it totally illogical to blame the closing of the slaughter houses...
Lisa, I see what your saying. I just feel bad for people who are in it for a living. I see the ads all the time for studs in that price range but then hear of...
... have the highest price on horses of any state in the US. ... FWIW - no slaughter has NOTHING to do with higher horse prices in California... >EVERYTHING<...
... Stud fees are based on many factors. One factor is the *potential* value of their offspring. But another factor is the time of the breeder. It costs a lot...
There are other places where *everything* is high also..but horses prices are still low in those places. Colorado for example. If you cant dump your low...
Cheryl, I agree "What controls horse prices are supply and demand, and the economy" (like I said before and you too.) I just don't understand how a stud fee...
I am back online already..lol.. I really don't know, but I was thinking MAYBE auction prices (or what they are paying for horses going to slaughter) effect the...
A World Grand Champion Walker or Foxtrotter can get at least 1000 for a stud fee. It's the name and that's what sells the foals. A son of a WGC will sell for...
... I dont know how to explain it any clearer than i did lol. The stud is only part of the equation.. you have to factor in the mare too. And you cant judge...
... Your addicted lol. ... In my opinion there are 4 levels of horses. The slaughter/auction/culls market. The pleasure horse market. The performance market,...
... This is very true and a hard fact to face at times. With my weanlings for example. I *probably* could have gotten more for them if i had been willing to...
Something else that I haven't seen brought up in this conversation is that the PMU Mares that were released into the market over the last few years have made a...
Stud fee's can stay high because people are still paying them. Noone is forced to breed to that stud, but as long as someone chooses to then the stud owner...
... I agree 100% and sooo many ppl just dont see this. ... up. And training a good pony is tough because most are too small for adult riders to work with, plus...
Also, with stud fees, there is another reason some are high right now. I am keeping mine at $500 to discourage a lot of mare owners from breeding right now....
