Whatever happened to affordable horse prices? We live in Maine! About 10 years ago I purchased a gelding bred to the nines from JCB, paid $3,000 I think for him. Registered AQHA with Smart Little Lena/ Doc Bar/ High Brow cat all on his papers. Great deal! Now fast forward to today, our economy is in the dumpster; browsing your website for a potential new horse only to be deterred as everything is priced between $15,000-$25,000 !!!! If I was wanting to spend that kind of money I would be going to multiple out of state World Champion/ Congress champion trainers and getting a horse that isn't a cow horse and is actually worth the money! Very disappointing to see what JCB and Hemphills have done to the horse market around here. Seems gone are the days of $2-$5,000 broke to ride with nice papers horses! read more
