My wife raises Paso Finos (Spanish gaited horse)- she raises them for trail horses. Used to raise Walkers, but never could seem to get any under 16 hands, and she has a bad knee, so difficult to mount. She has been getting 2 or 3 foals a year, raising them to 3 years and training them, then sell for $3,500 to $4,000 without too much trouble. Problem is, too many horses standing around, eating and pooping, in that scenario. Now trying to sell weaned foals, and can't seem to generate much interest. They want 'em ready to ride. We do still have 3 Walkers left from the old days, and she advertised them along with the paso's- seems to be more interest in the Walkers. Time will tell, but you're not alone in having a tough time selling.
