KB always makes me think kill buyer-eek) and how she views horses and their worth and don't have to be a fancy something. I completely agree!<BR/><BR/>Offers on your horse are always a compliment, we used to get offers all the time for my mare, Moose... hmm I've never gotten an offer on Lester, lol. But I love the fact that AppleManJack has a forever home with you guys, he's really earning it!Denise- LessIsMore17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11875671948514151680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-51874707803310202332009-02-24T00:24:00.000-06:002009-02-24T00:24:00.000-06:00I like the sounds of your clinician.

Their foundation is solid and their pattern is right, but the new owner can finish them out the way they like. I've bought a lot of grade horses and started them on the barrels. They learn the same as a papered horse.:)<BR/><BR/>It is nice when someone thinks enough of your horse to ask if they are for sale, but if you say no, that ought to be the end of it. I can understand you not wanting to sell, not only because he is Pie's horse, but because he works for you and until you have another horse, it's kinda like shooting yourself in the foot.<BR/>I've sold good horses before and left myself having to spend another year getting one ready to go again...several times. This time, when I was offered a stupid amount for Moon, I said No Way!! I finally have the horse I want to take all the way and he is NOT for sale. And then I prayed for two weeks something wouldn't happen to him.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-65778467175281536972009-02-23T20:30:00.000-06:002009-02-23T20:30:00.000-06:00Ok.

I know that horses are a little different than dogs or cats, but you'll rarely have someone bugging you to buy your dog or cat....breed their dog or cat to them maybe, but not buy them.<BR/><BR/>So why are horse different? They are treated more like cars or boats. Weird!<BR/><BR/>It is good to know that your horse is special enough to get the interest of others, though. Especially in these trying times with the horse market.<BR/><BR/>I'd trust Mr Tim with finding you another horse. Look what he found for you in AppleJack.<BR/><BR/>I prefer QH for barrel racing, and other Western horse sports, too.<BR/>I've been to the Arabian shows, and while they do a great job out there and can hold their own, there is something more 'authentic' about a QH in those types of sports.<BR/><BR/>~Lisa <BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-23595068839088215382009-02-23T16:38:00.000-06:002009-02-23T16:38:00.000-06:00Isn't it irritating when people just don't take "N...Isn't it irritating when people just don't take "No" for an answer? I had that happen with the Arab I owned in the past, except it was boarders who asked every day, a couple times a day for weeks and then spread it around that I WAS selling him dirt cheap. It just bugged me!<BR/><BR/>I did sell him later, much later for different reasons and to no one at that barn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-71192036487596959232009-02-23T11:54:00.000-06:002009-02-23T11:54:00.000-06:00I'm sure you'd have many offers on your Applejack....I'm sure you'd have many offers on your Applejack.
