Anonymous asked: there is always money to be made in the horse business. even though its risky money. example for me i bought a 3 year old warmblood gelding for $40K he was spooky lazy but extremely athletic. he is now 8 shows in the hunter derbies and with out fail wins every time he steps into a ring. I bomb proofed him so a Jr can ride him and sold him to a concerned mother for $500K. I spent roughly another $25K on board etc. i am anon because I am talking about $, this is my 2nd horse to sell for 6 figures
I disagree with there always being money in the equine industry.
If you need 50grand to take a risk (and how many of has have 50,000 laying around to take a gamble on? Shit, I don’t have 50 to gamble with.) than we aren’t really talking about a lucrative industry, at least for those looking to MAKE money, not those who start with money.
Yay that you where able to do that but I don’t think that’s an option for very many people. I can flip a free horse for several grand and thats the only “risk” I can halfway afford.
