All of ours were waaaay under priced. but they are the best horses EVER
First there is my girl baby. she was a trade off for fixing someone's heat because they couldn't afford to pay for the bill. she was an untrained 5 yr old mustang. and had only had 1 person on her back EVER before and that was only for a 10 minute time period. i helped break her and she is my word. i wouldn't trade her for any amount of money.
Next is my mom's horse Carmen. she was free. and she came with a gelding named apache. he was a Flaxen chesnut. they were both abused and starved. and Apache had a broken jaw from being beat with a 2x4. he had also bucked someone off and broke their neck and lacerated their head on a piece of metal. we sold him as he was too dangerous under saddle around the kids. but he was a dream with ground manners. and such an affection guy. Carmen was beat in between the ears with a 2x4 as well to "encourage" her to go. but now she is affection and a great ride all around. we are working on her breaks still. and she's still headshy. but we're getting there!
Next is Kitty. out little rescued pinto pony! i paid 100$ to rescue him from a dog lot with no food or water. he was stuck eating pine needles and dried up leaves. and only had water when it rained from shallow puddles. he's now fat and sassy and makes a good kid's pony. he's leaving to his new home with 3 kids on the 23rd. his new rider is a little 5 yr old boy who adores him to death!
next is our most expensive horse adelaide. she's APHA. and had proffesional 30 days of training. she's the quietest horse we got. and she's 3 yrs old. we picked her up at an auction for 450$ she's the one we put all the kids on!
then we have Peanut. he's a free lease. and we may be able to keep him if in a year they decide they don't want him. he's 17 yrs old and is the fastest horse we got. he has ALOT of go on him. and although he's spooky he's always the lead horse. he's very fat and we are working on getting him into shape. which is leading to alot of sweating. he used to sweat after 10 minutes of riding. and now we can take a 4 hour trail ride with no sweating at all.
and Last is sparta. my friend wanted to buy a horse. and we found a good old easy going appy. catch was she was pregnant. and i'd ALWAYS wanted a baby. so i offered to go in half with her. they originally wanted 350$ but i talked them down to 250$ so she paid 125$ for the mare and i paid 125$ for the unborn foal. best decision of my life!! needless to say on march 9th (3 days before my b-day!) out plopped this little colt into my arms at 8:00pm. we named him sparta and he's my little lover boy!
