And what a fabulous shop window the Olympics was for Pumpkin!When horses are you business, unfortunately the reality is usually everything is for sale - how else is it a business? And she probably does want to start her own yard or build a house at the least!
As riders, its usually rare for the horses to be their own, they usually belong to owners so the only way to make pure profit is to be an owner yourself and unfortunately then that means selling on. The SJers seem to do this well, everything is for sale and they usually have a percentage ownership of each horse so the sales benefit them more financially - then they buy/breed horses specifically to sell on to bring on their business.
I think its great that young riders are getting horses of this quality - how else will the next generation a chance to perform on the world stage!
