You Can Buy a Horse for Less Than Cost
Why the Horse Market is a Buyers Paradise
In my area training runs at least $750/month, so there is another $1500 to get the horse “green broke”
Want a little more reliability then add on more training.
Gee it looks like our horse costs more to raise thanwhat you or I want to pay!
So what allows us buy a horse for less than cost?
Market reality is the keyword here, and there are a number of things that have drawn down prices on horses.
- No or very little killer market, laws forbidding slaughter of horses in the US
- Pending laws forbidding export of horses for slaughter to US or Mexico
- Higher hay and grain cost due to US subsidizing grain for ethanol production
- farmers producing less hay and more grain for ethanol market less grain for animal feed.
- US government Free or cheap horse BLM Mustang program
Like most things that government employees or official get their hands on,
The Horse market is in the toilet, so this is your window of opportunity,
if you choose to buy a horse.
