I have a mare I need to sell.
I just had heart surgery, and the doctor doesn't want me to ride really anymore. I still plan on riding. But my younger more dangerous horse needs to go for my safety.
I bought her at age 4 for $1,000. Yes I know a lot. She was a rescue, and it was either me buy her or she got turned into dog food. So being the softie that I am, I bought her.
She has filled out, and is now beautiful! I trained her last year. Took her on trail rides. She is a Registered Quarter Horse with good bloodlines.
She is really sweet. But she gets moody if you be agressive. If you smack her or pull on the reins when she wants to run she bucks. A lot.
She just started this in the spring. And it makes me sad. She is actually a very good horse and very smart. But I can't risk training her anymore, because I could get some serious damage getting bucked off. She is Parreli trained complete level one.
She had a lot of riding on her. Never had a problem until this spring. I think she has the ability to excell in something like cutting or dressage. I just can't do it.
She craves attention. If she had a good home to ride her more often she is a great horse.
My question is. Would I be able to sell her for $1,000. I think I should get more for her. Since she is trained now. But I doubt that I will be able to make my money back.
