Well you can not judge that as you have not seen him, he is the best colt she has ever seen in years and years... I am happy that you love yours. As a breeder I would lose money if I sold a weanling for $2,500....you got a good deal. I could not afford to breed if I could only sell them for that. Stud fee-$600 Feed-----$1,500 Mare for 1 year + 6 Month on foal Supplements--$300 Worming--$100 Vet bills--unknown Farrier work--???? Fencing, going back and forth top the feed store, gasoline Trailering Cost of trailer up keep Truck, cost of truck up keep.... And that does not take into account the cost of the brood mare... $2,500 Good Deal for you... as for the ones she lost 25000 on-- it was not because she was trusting, it was because she was preyed on by evil people looking to take her to the cleaners. That is very sad.

Cal...because I guess she is no longer in the game....she no longer breeds but now is a professional photogragher....she was a nice person, well liked, but was not good at paperwork or keeping track of things...many people have horses from that breeding program and some of us still do not have the paperwork on our horses yet.....luckily I should be getting mine soon, but it has been a 5 year process. They other one, I do not know much about....she breeds a lot of German lines....but has many of the same issues of the other breeder...no paperwork when promised. I have shouted....only to be speared with words from people on this list. S. Lee
