It seems lately there have been so many people getting in and out of minis in a matter of months. Its getting downright scarey! Or they are buying one day and selling down the next. Or they are so excited about a new horse and in 4 weeks the horse is up for sale and they have bought another new horse they are so excited about. Or how about the horse that is for sale and then isnt. And then is. And then isnt. I dont understand??
I do know there are cases where a life event happens and you have to sell. I have had to do that myself. But I dont do it consistently!! One minute they are selling out due to life circumstances and the next week they are buying again.
Please before you buy think ahead 5 years and where your life will be and your goals as a breeder. Breeding programs do change but not in a month.
It just makes me so sad to see these horses constantly moved from farm to farm. I have a mare here now that is 6 yrs old and has been transferred 6 times. She had a reputation of being a "nasty" mare. Well after a couple months of being handled daily she is NOT A NASTY MARE. I wouldnt feel too great about people either if I was moved every year of my life!
And just be aware that people do notice. I myself note this and would never sell a horse to someone who changes their mind weekly or monthly. Little King posted here once awhile back about being LOYAL to your horse. I liken it to always looking for the next best thing when the next best thing might be already in your pasture but you havent really looked in awhile
