Live from Cavan, this is what young horses should be, bred well, reared correctly and sold for decent money.

For breeders, I agree completely. But several of my best horses have been parentage unknown bargains all under £2000. I think there are at least two completely separate markets in the UK.. I've tried the higher end, admittedly continental bred, and had burnt fingers four times (though one made me thousands, he wasn't what I needed). Never again!
 
Yes. I only breed rare breeds, which most people know little about. My really good youngsters come from two great brood mares, one hot blooded one cold.

I enjoy watching the foal auctions, its interesting to see the difference between the Irish, Dutch and German foals, even though so many are by the same sires the types are quite different as are the auctions.
Currently there is a dutch auction on here if you are bored https://www.clipmyhorse.tv/de_DE/live/2020/limburgse-veulen-veiling-2017
