Re: [RC] Question to ask when buying... - AprJhn
I won't comment as to the finances, but selling due to lack of time, but then would consider a trade, I can see that. Consider the following senario.
I have a young, green, spooky Saddlebred gelding. I work on him for several days straight, doing despook training and the like. Then I can't get to him for about 2 weeks due to kids being sick, husband pitching a "no horses" fit, my work, ok, the rest of my life. I finally get back to my horse and he's back to square one. I realize I just don't have the time to work with this young gelding. So I decide to sell him due to no time.
But I'd consider trading for my friend's 13 year old gelding. Totally mature, rarely spooks, can be left alone (training wise) for 2 years (literally) and then ridden like he'd been ridden every single day for the past 2 years.
Totally plausible senario. Course, hopefully, that would come out when you ask the question of why you're selling. :)
Just a thought.
