[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1810494, member: 32879"] Back in the 70s and 80s I routinely bought coming two year old saddle horses (gaited = no papers) for about $400 and started them to saddle over the winter. I put one side of my tobacco barn in stalls and could house about six head. They were easy to sell the next spring for $1200 to $1400 and I thought i was making big money. These Tennessee Walking horses and Kentucky Mountain types were gentle natured and I hardly ever had one buck or act up too much, The closing of the kill plants ended this way of life. Weigh prices kept a floor under the market and just helped all way around. I saw more suffering and under fed horses after the kill plants shut down. Something that is not worth anything is not taken care of. [/QUOTE]
