For those of you who have not bought a horse since the year 2000 let me help you out

THE HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC HORSE PRICE ANALYSIS

An entirely unbiased study conducted by someone who actually has to restart these things.

Let’s discuss horse prices for a minute. Because apparently we have entered a time warp where everyone wants a finished show horse for the price of a used saddle.

$1,000 HORSE

May actually have gone out in the year 2000.

Could be fresh off the track.
Could be a fire-breathing dragon.
May believe that mounting block = opportunity for homicide.
Walk, trot, canter? Eventually.
Ground manners? Negotiable.
Trail riding? You ARE the trail ride.

At $1,000, you are not buying a finished horse.

You are buying potential, a project, and possibly a really interesting story.

$5,000 HORSE

Now we’re getting somewhere.

Walk.
Trot.
Canter.
Lightly restarted.
Has possibly popped over a crossrail.
May have been on a trail ride.

Probably knows that humans are not, in fact, trying to kill it.

Still green. Still needs miles. Still needs training.

But congratulations—you have progressed beyond “please don’t let this horse kill me.”

$10,000 HORSE

Now we’re talking about an actual riding horse.

Has gone OFF PROPERTY.

Has schooled somewhere that isn’t its own driveway.

May have clinic miles.
May have been to a horse show.
Has seen trailers, strange arenas, other horses, speakers, golf carts, children running around, and the general circus that is horse showing.

May have actually demonstrated that it can leave home and come back still functioning.

That training, experience, exposure, and reliability didn’t happen by accident.

Someone put time, labor, fuel, training, farrier bills, vet bills, feed and a whole lot of sweat into that horse.

And yet somehow…

“Can you do $2,500?”

Ma’am.

No.

That is not how horses work.

The $1,000 horse and the $10,000 horse are not the same horse at different prices.

You are paying for what somebody has already put into the horse.

The cheaper horse isn’t necessarily a bargain.

Sometimes it’s just unfinished.

And unfinished horses are perfectly wonderful—if you actually want to finish one.

But if your dream is a quiet, sound, experienced, off-property, show-seasoned horse with good manners and miles…

You might want to budget accordingly.

Because apparently the market analysis department has determined that training is not, in fact, free.

🐴💰 LET’S TALK ABOUT HORSE PRICES… BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE NEED TO. 😂

We’ve discovered something absolutely fascinating in the horse business…

Post a $15,000 horse and suddenly everybody’s phone battery is in danger. 📲🔥

“Is he still available?”
“Can you send 47 videos?”
“Does he neck rein?”
“Can my 8-year-old ride him?”
“Can he sort cows, drag a log, trail ride alone, babysit Grandma, and probably do my taxes?”

THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES.

Post a $5,000 horse…

🦗
🦗
🦗

Apparently everyone’s Wi-Fi goes out. 😂

And then we get the messages from people with a $4,000–$6,000 budget who want the $15,000 horse.

They don't want the cheaper horse because:

“He doesn’t neck rein.”

“He’s a little pokey.”

“He has some arthritis.”

“He has an old scar.”

“He isn’t fancy enough.”

“He needs more training.”

“He’s older.”

“He has a quirk.”

MY FRIEND… YOU HAVE A $5,000 BUDGET. NOT A $15,000 BUDGET THAT YOU’RE TRYING TO MANIFEST. 😂

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

GOOD HORSES AREN’T CHEAP.

CHEAP HORSES AREN’T NECESSARILY BAD.

BUT CHEAP HORSES ARE RARELY PERFECT.

And there is a HUGE difference between a cheap horse and a bad horse.

A $5,000 horse might be a perfectly good horse that simply isn't finished like a $15,000 horse.

Maybe he doesn't neck rein.

Maybe he's more “Whoa” than “Go.”

Maybe she's 18 instead of 8.

Maybe she has some arthritis.

Maybe he has an old scar.

Maybe she needs another 30 rides.

Maybe he isn't going to win the World Championship, but he'll pack your kids around the trail all day and stand tied to the trailer without turning into a rodeo. 😂

THAT'S CALLED REALITY.

The horse doesn't care what you wish your budget was.

The seller doesn't control the laws of economics.

And Facebook Marketplace is not the Make-A-Wish Foundation for horses. 😂

If you have $5,000 to spend, that's GREAT.

There are good horses in that price range.

But you need to decide what you're willing to compromise on.

Want a finished, fancy, young, sound, experienced, neck-reining, bombproof, push-button horse with no blemishes, no arthritis, no quirks and 15 years of experience?

You're probably going to need to move the decimal point. 💰😂

Want to stay under $5,000?

Then maybe your expectations need to come down from “future world champion” to “honest horse that will get the job done.”

And honestly?

Some of the best horses we've ever been around weren't the prettiest, fanciest, most expensive horses.

They were the ones that were HONEST.

So know your budget.

Know what you're actually looking for.

Know what you're willing to overlook.

And quit expecting a $5,000 horse to come with a $20,000 résumé. 😂

Because if you want the $20,000 horse…

Bring $20,000. 🤷‍♂️🐴

The horse market isn't broken.

Your expectations and your wallet just need to have a meeting. 😂

👇 Now let's hear it…

What's the biggest thing you're willing to compromise on when buying a horse?

And what's the ONE thing you absolutely refuse to compromise on?

Let's see how honest everybody really is. 😂🐴

As I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.

I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.

• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.

• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.

• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.

We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!

Feel free to copy and paste. I did.
