My reputation among the trainers that know me is very good. Most Walking Horse trainers say that about one colt out of ten will make a show horse. Over the past 15 years I have made good money doing this because my colts have made show horses, on average, 63% of the time.
Some times it's just better to be lucky than good.
I have one colt here now that his full brother brought over $10,000.00 as a yearling. Top bid on him at last weeks sale in Shelbyville,TN during the Celebration was $600.00. He sure is pretty standing out in my pasture and that's where he'll stay till prices go up.
I agree with a lot of what's been said about "Breeders" who cross a cull to another cull and then no one wants it-Surprise! Surprise!
These are top of the line and nobody seems to want 'em.
Seems that things ARE tough all over.

thank all of you for the responses.
