EPIC blaze! And such a sweet story too, what a cutie. :grin:
Thanks Haley! <3

I think everyone's horses are absolutely beautiful and all have amazing stories! This just goes to show and prove, that the cost of the horse doesn't matter - it is the heart and the soul of the horse that does :)
 
^^ OH!!!! So NoooooWWWwww your Teal!! I go through all that trouble making you browbands that are Royal Blue and Yellow, and then you switch to teal! lol :P I love the colors actually, great choice! I had no idea Woof made Teal boots! That's awesome! <3 ya.
 
lol Teal and Black are my trainer's colors Home - Three-Day Farm

She makes all of her students wear them. I still sport the browband though! lol.

That's actually just teal duck tape over black Nunn Finer boots!

Ooooh that makes sense! They make Teal Duct Tape?! LOL! I have yet to see that, but that is also super cool! LOL, the thickness of the duct tape, made it appear like they were the straps of the woof boots.

You like those Nun Finer boots? I'm looking to switch. I am "meh" about my woof boots...

Sorry to get off topic.................
 
I LOVE the Nunn Finers!

Got the Teal tape at Walmart :)

I cannot for the life of me find my exact boots (they were on clearance at Rolex this year) but these are similar. Mine just have two straps but with a double closure.

It would depend on what you consider under priced. That is subjective.


I gave no where near what this mare is worth for her when she was a 2yo. Having nothing out of pocket into her.

Like many others on this theard I got my OTTB free :) He's a great horse, with a great personality. Everyone knows him as the puppy dog at my barn because where ever I am he's with me! He is still in his retraining process, he's a tad slow at picking things up but once he gets it he does not forget it! I love this horse! He is my first horse and nothing can compare to him now! :D

Mine were soooo underpriced. We got the Fjord and the Shetland{who passed on} from a family friend for under $1000. Both together. They each came with 2 halters, a western saddle, bridle, grooming items, a huge like garbage bin of oats, 3 big round bales, saddle pads and then we got the Shetlands son for free. Way underpriced but the Shetland and Fjord are the most reliable horses I'd ever owned.
 
But to whom? At what point?
To the horse's owner? As that's the only person who can truely judge the horse's nature and potential. Of course my thousands worth dressage friesian won't be worth much to a rancher looking for a sturdy and hardy horse for ranch work. But I thought we were talking about the horse's value for what we're doing and planning to do with him.

We are, and she did.

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!

I got my 13 year old, beautifully trained TB for free because his owner desperately needed to get out of the horse world. (The horse, though she had him for 8 years, was not a good match for her, and they both stressed each other out. Luckily, he's a great match for me!)
I also just got my 18 month old arabian for free. The lady got him from a serious arabian halter breeder, and he is stunning, but not 1st place scottsdale quality, so she gave him to her, and she gave him to us! Love it when it works out like that!
