[RC] over populated 'crappy' horses - rides2far



(And > far> too many of them dump their colts unregistered, because they

I don't get it. I've got three unregistered purebred geldings out here.
Their owners knew they were good horses when they produced them but as
geldings didn't see that it was worth the cost (for them) to register
them. They were bred to perform and lack of papers never hurt them any. I
just bought two new horses...one's registered, one isn't. Unless the
sweepstakes thing on the registered one happens to pay off someday
there'll be no other difference to me.

Kaboot & Southern Rock (who is now listed on Equine.com if somebody wants
a made horse to compete in a 50 tomorrow...Rock...not Kaboot!) are both
from the foal crop right when the market crashed in '89. That seems to be
about the last of the cheap horses years. I've had quite a few geldings
who were the same age as them go through my hands...but never seemed to
run across any born in 92, 93, 94... Had to look at "retail" this
time...but ended up getting lucky on my unregistered one. When the owner
prefers big western Paints you know he's gonna be willing to come down on
the price of that darned "A-rab" in his field. >g<
