Unsigned Paperwork Means You Have A Grade Horse

Jeepers, will people ever learn?? I don't care WHO the horse is and HOW well the horse is bred or trained, if you don't have papers in your hand from the registry in your/someone's name with the horse's registered name on it, you don't have a registered horse. You have a grade horse.

That lessens the value/worth most likely. There are cases that the grade horse is worth quite a bit but with papers, it would be more.

According to the ad, she hasn't done anything, don't even know if she's broke. So, we have an unregistered, unbroke 4 year old mare who has color and the ad says well bred. Come to think of it, why didn't the ad state who daddy and mums are??

So, pop quiz here, do you REALLY think she's worth $2000?? Just imagine, in this market, what you could BUY for $2K!! Now they can ask all they want for any of their horses but reality has to set in some time.

One last thing, the ad (and a lot of ads state this) says that this darlin' could go in any direction you take her. No, she can't. She's long and a weak hip and couldn't do dressage very well. Well, she could take a stab at it but as for her holding it together for very long, I don't think so. Actually, she looks like she'd make a nice pleasure/trail prospect and then maybe with some work, see if she couldn't do a step up to the next level.
