Who is trying to sell a horse/s at the moment? And who is buying?!

I understand that people who breed to make a living need to price their horses to make a profit BUT there is a reason horses are not selling and in my opinion its because people are not taking in to account the overall economic crisis when pricing their horses.

The price of houses has dropped, the motor industry is suffering, small businesses are closing and as mentioned above we as a nation are in huge amounts of debt. It is unrealistic to expect that the horse industry will be the only one that isnt effected.

Totally agree. I think horses will become even harder to sell, what with the rising cost of hay and grain added the fact that people are losing their jobs/going out of business and cannot borrow money easily anymore.

If you're looking to buy, give it a few weeks and I bet there'll be some real bargains to be had!
