I don't go to the horse sales myself. We buy from people who go there and buy and sell. They'll go in, buy the good ones that they can find just above killer price, sell them to people, and any they don't sell they resell. They seem to have a new batch every 2 or 3 weeks. We've gotten all of our horses from them. They even said Lacy was so cheap (bought her, my best horse, for $800) because she was 150 lbs underweight at least and not registered. The latest one was $1250 because he's not registered and he's so underweight, but he realllllly is a sweetheart so that brought his price up. He looks like someone bought a great kid safe horse, then the kid outgrew him (he's kinda small) or the hobby, and the family just let him rot in the field. Money very well spent I believe, but I'll find out today or Saturday when I get on him. I didn't get to do a test drive this time. I've been told around here, Lacy's worth at least $4000 even without papers because people want a good horse safe and sane for their kids to learn on. She's a fantastic girl, and so cuddly! (she reminds me of a giant rabbit, I'll post a pic later!)
