It has recently come to my attention that there is a misunderstanding amongst numbers of non-saddlebred people that ASBs are prohibitively expensive. I’m not sure why this is because personally, I’ve never really thought about saddlebreds enough to think that they were expensive or not. After learning more about them, I was shocked to realize just how much the big show horses go for, but I’ve been more shocked to realize that a saddlebred will often sell for less than an OTTB. This bothers me, as it’s my opinion that you can often find a better value in a saddlebred prospect than you can with an OTTB, depending on your goals and how you weigh pros and cons.
So, considering this I’ve decided to include a new section in the blog titled “Saddlebred Super-Finds”. It’s purpose will be to highlight saddlebreds that I have run across, which I think are total finds for the sport market. These will not be horses that I personally know (since I know no other saddlebreds, ha!), but instead will be horses that I consider very worthwhile in checking out. A hobby of mine is finding ‘diamond in the rough’ type prospects at competitive prices. I think I’m pretty good at it, and I’m always getting better, and I’d love to illustrate what the buyer can find in this market if they turn to saddlebreds as sport prospects.
