[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 251446, member: 9"] The 12 YO mare is fully trained in bit and rides very well. The coming 2 YO filly is trained in halter and grooming activities. With training/boarding fees running between $600 and $800 in our geographical area (assuming you can find a place interested in taking in another horse), these costs would significantly increase present investment to a point where I would lose additional thousands $$. One facility won't even consider taking a young one under 3 YO. The only $$ I'm willing to further spend on these 2 mares is to ensure their health care and nutritional care is quality to preserve their health and nutrition. Yet, I would have no problem paying a commission to a breeder (or gaited horse broker) to sell one or both. My asking price for either is what they are insured for. Posting info at shows is out of question due to fuel costs for "discretionary" travel. Other options include "donating" one or both to a University Equine program that uses the horses for teaching students about horses and riding. At least this way I could get a tax write-off for the donation. So far, not sure where a qualified University program is located... Horse people out there! Help! I need ideas, suggestions, comments badly...lol. I'm pretty much at my "wit's end" :) Bill [/QUOTE]
