Re: [RC] New Horse - Carol Suggs

Nicole:  I am not a horse "seller" but I also disclose everything.  When
trying to sell a mare a few years ago I was running at the mouth about all
her attributes, but also about her quirky personality and high flight
response nad tendancy to be "on the muscle" in competitive situations.  I
was very specific with folks about the type of owner/rider she needed, not
an inexperianced rider.  You would not believe all the newbies that called
me on her...oh she sounds perfect  (did they not read the last line of the
ad?).

Needless to say I ended up turning down more potential buyers because they
were not the right fit for the mare, and I still have her, love her and glad
I didn't sell her because she won me a local high point this year and 5th at
our local team penning at the fair!  Plus she is the most vocal horse in the
barn, always making noises and nickering when she sees me.

I have to disagree.  As a breeder, I am VERY concerned
that my horses end up in homes where everyone is happy
with the sale.  And that means fully disclosing
everything about the horses and finding the right
match of horse & owner.

But, I know that not all sellers take that same
attitude.
