I was shopping for off the track this spring. What I found was that prices have seemed to have gone up (at least here). A couple years ago, trainers would have been willing to part with many for free to $1000. Now they are asking $2000-$3000 and getting it very quickly.
No judgement here, I’m glad that people are realizing the value of OT horses. They are still beyond reasonably priced.[/QUOTE]
What part of the country are you in? I’ve got several that we bred, raised, broke, and trained enough to know they weren’t fast enough to warrant the expense of keeping on the track. They have been off the track over a year, most never raced. These are nice well-made TBs with no issues. Nothing to suggest they wouldn’t pass PPE with flying colors. Good movers and all are jumping well. Some up to 3’. Push button not exactly but all have good minds, cross-tie and or just stand to be tacked. They are good in the ring and outside the ring around our farm, logs, jumps, trails etc. Priced $3,500 to $6,500. Priced below what the “pro-re sellers” said to price them at. All I get are BS offers. Granted I have not put a lot of effort into marketing them. But that will change soon.
