My wife and my mother are in the horse business together. They are professionals and have made their living from the horse business their entire lives. Right now they specialize in Hunter/Jumpers, and have a big boarding/training/show barn in St.Louis. We have neer since I was a child bred a horse. Why in the heck would we want to go to the trouble when everyone else is out there breeding horses, feeds em for two years, and then sells em for $500-$1000? We have bought up to 10 well bred thorobred's at a time off the track that are maybe three or four years old and just won't make it in racing for maybe $7500-$10000 for the whole load of em. Bring em home, put 60-90 days riding on em, and some then go into the lesson string, and others get sold for anywhere from $2500-$20000 to these rich city people that ride with us. There is NO MONEY in breeding horses, and until everybody realizes that and stops breeding all these horses in there backyard that there is no market for the prices will continue to fall and we will continue to profit from buying 2 and three year olds to put into training and resell.
