>>> I just want to add, the promotions of this being a family horse are excellent as we have taken ours to a western showing program for the last 2-3 yrs and have had the boys have great success in speed events with many people asking to buy these guys from us.
That's interesting. How old are the boys? Was one of them the one in the picture with the grey horse? >>> I don't intend on ever selling them but I have had offers of 10,000 during one of the shows and most of the quarter horses that compete here aren't nearly that expensive. I took it as a compliment. And why do you think the people were so interested, to be asking about buying them? Do you think the people wanted them because the horses were successful at the games, or because they seemed like fun and safe horses for the kids to ride? Did they say? What games do they do? >>> I had decided that when the horses weren't at their game I would ride them around the grounds where the boys show and try to work out the issues they brought that day and I was approached by so many 50 something men and women who said they didn't know they could ride them and wanted to know where to buy one. Personally, I think that low-key kind of "marketing" is the most sincere type, and the type most likely to win over the kind of people I'd like to see become interested in the breed. I have no interest in showing, but we've taken a couple of horses to our little local saddle club shows, and just ridden around the show area. I guess it would be more appropriate to call that "exposure" as opposed to "marketing" maybe? Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
