I wish it was possible in Europe to even get a horse under 10,000🤣

And tbh you can but those horses don’t have passports, have health issues and have shady owners

@@johnnyyy1111 It is. Our cheapest horse was 200€ and our most expensive 6.000€ 🙃(None of them really had 'shady' owners.) I mean, okay, most cheap horses are either young or green (or both) but they're still amazing. You just need to put a little work into them.

@@johnnyyy1111fr lol anything under 10K is either a cob pony or an ex racer🤣

@@ktxtenskz7441 Cobs are fine? They are really versatile horses/ponies and OTTB’s are usually really sweet, they are just medical prone.

Ever heard of Insurance.

⁠@@equine2020have u ever heard of how much a horse costs or what, their expensive it’s not like everyone can afford to fix the horses leg and insurance doesn’t cover it all.

@@Maple_Springs Wow you assume I'm ignorant about horses. I've been with horses since 5yrs old. I was trained by professionals who have show horses. I'm more than aware what a horse costs, as mine are professional. I jump, foxhunt. I work closely with my equine vet. Insurance for the death of a horse covers it completely I've purchased horses through out my life. Been in the horse world for 45yrs. Once I owned 4 at the same time. I've seem champions sell for 50K or more. I've been to the Keenland yearlings sales. That thoroughbreds. The flat racer should you not know about Keenland. My horse have linages including Native Dancer, Nasrallah, Hyperion, Swaps, etc. Yes I think I know a little about horses. I'm not a back yard owner riding only on weekends. My world is horse 24/7. Is there anything else you'd like us know. I also have a library full of horse topics. Training, jumping, breeding, foaling, problem horses, conformation, etc. Also 3 books on vet care, & knowledge of diseases. My life is horses. Pls, never assume someone is ignorant about horses. But truefully many on these outlets are clueless. I was describing the fog. Some silly thing made laughing mojos ; told me I was a fool. She only exposed her ignorance.

​@@equine2020 they assumed you were ignorant bc of what u said 💀

Definitely gonna have to insure a million dollar horse lol

Good horses are good horse never mind the “hookups”.

I have mares, geldings and a stud and my stud gives me less headache then all of the other combined. It’s all about handling and breeding.

@@KaityWebsterI couldn’t agree more

My mare was amazing work horse. She used to ride with a stallion didn't phase her any.

I have a mare now, but she's a rare one with silent heats. Other than her, geldings all the way.

straight facts, wise man.

Dang if that ain't the truth!

That’s only half true, if you know how to buy your can get a hell of a horse for 1,000$ my aunt had a free, foundation bred horse who won 9 saddles and thousands of dollars for her, she had to train her herself, but other than that completely free. My first and only horse as of now was 3,800$ I’d say she’s probably now more in the 12k range, she’s got ish bloodlines, but best horse I’ve ever met.

@@KTDbarrelracingmy grandma bought a $500 horse and broke him in and then gave him to me and he would jump the moon for me but my mum said we had to sell him and we sold him for $11000

weird ass horse though, never saw a breed like that

Christine, it's wonderful that you were careful to ensure that he went to a home where he would be appreciated and treated accordingly! It's so important to be cautious who to sell or give a horse to. I have a lot of admiration for the places with the Therapeutic Horseback Riding Programs. I hope to volunteer at one of them very soon. As soon as my own health issues are sorted out. I'm sure the horse was/is well cared for there and happy. To have attention, mental stimulation, and a moderate amount of easy work is far better for an aging horse than just rotting in a feild is. However being a pasture pony is far preferable to being sold to a bad owner, or to a long series of owners, and ending up in the meat auction. When I was a kid we used to say they ended up at the glue factory. Whatever term you use, the fact is that horses that people don't care about live an extremely stressful life, with a lot of fear. Sometimes they are auctioned multiple times, each time being scarier than the time before. Many of these magnificent animals, who are so willing to do almost anything for us but sadly can't tell us what they experience, go through a downward process of being a lesson horse, then a dude ranch horse, and finally are just a commodity, for meat. And they are shoved with other horses from trailer to trailer, and place to place, with no regard for their feelings, or their comfort, or even their health. Illnesses and injuries are not treated. Worming, hoof trimming, and dental care are no longer done. The result is chronic pain and illness. And they are horribly beaten and abused! When you see videos of them you can see how terrified they are! The end of the road is the kill auctions, and the actual slaughter, both of which are the most horrific thing that any person or animal could ever imagine! That is the end result of people carelessly selling off horses, just because they are old or didn't get along with the owner, in order to recoup a few dollars. People, PLEASE. If you cannot afford to keep them in your own pasture and give them proper care, then PLEASE give them up to a Horse Rescue Organization. If they can be rehabilitated and rehomed, the organization will do so. If they are too old to be ridden, there are people who will be happy to keep them in a pasture, and to continue their veterninary, dietary, teeth and hoof care. But when their time comes, and they are too old and sick, they will not suffer. They will be put to sleep with love. And you will sleep well, knowing you did the right thing for them. Horses are very intelligent, so they're meant to have a lot of variety in their experiences and life. No matter how big it is, any pasture will feel small to them after about a week (or less), and it will be extremely boring, even if they are with other horses. So a horse that is capable of having a job should have one, and when they are too old (or lame from illness or injury) they still need to be properly cared for. Just selling them off to anyone, for money, is a cruel thing to do. So is dumping them in a feild and neglecting them. Living in a pasture is NOT the same kind of healthy life that wild horses have, and your own pasture horses still need plenty of human attention, for many reasons. Some horses are even put out to pasture alone! How awful for them! We need to treat aging horses as we would wish to be treated. To just sell them off like an old car or dirt bike is a horrible thing! I see may very good, caring horse owners on YT, but I do see some awful ones who make me terrified for their horses! Please people! Do not just get rid of any horse! Even if you and they had a bad relationship for some reason, please understand that is likely because they either have health issues, or they were not properly trained, or they were abused. Horses only behave badly for those 3 reasons. And like any person, they deserve to not be tortured. Selling them to just any old person DRASTICALLY increases the odds that they will resold again and again, and end up in the kill auctions eventually. Never forget that there are Horse Rescue Organizations all over N America, that will help if you can no longer afford to take care of your horse or horses. Everybody should watch a few episodes on the KZfaq channel of Horse Plus Humane Society. It's an enormous eye opener! (Please excuse the fact that this post is a little bit disorganized. I am now out of time. I will try to remember to come back tomorrow and fix it.)

Btw he is a Rocky Mountain :)
