We breed/raise/show Paint and Quarter Halter Horses and the bottom has fallen out of the market. We have not sold a horse since April 2005. Rising fuel costs, feed costs, hay costs/shortages have resulted in people trying to thin down their herds vs. buying more. Starting last Spring, we noticed fewer and fewer people traveling to shows...just too expensive. Most folks do this for fun, and just try to recoup some of their costs...but, like my wife said, "the cost has taken the fun out of it." So, it is a buyers market and the prices have fallen off dramatically. We market on the internet and have sold horses from Nevada, to Minnesota, to Maryland, to Alabama to South Texas...it is not that we aren't trying and have had success in the past. We have a couple of pending sales right now...thank goodness...and that is only because my wife slashed their prices to about 1/4 of what we would have asked 1 1/2 years ago. Hope you have better luck than we have had!! Tim
