It's something I really haven't done in a few years, put a horse on the market. Now I'm not talking just the regular broke WTC, good horse, kind of the normal $2500 - $4500 horse. I'm talking about Norton (aka BG Northstar, aka SUPERSTAR). His breeder and I have decided to put him on the market.
Now, Norton's pretty special. He's a triple registered gelding to start, with a National Championship title, lots of show experience, and he's got a pretty good personality. BUT he's also a trick horse!

This is clips from his very first trick demo, at the Farm and Ranch Show for 30 school kids. It was an impromptu demo, we'd just been playing around in the round pen, but he does love to show off.
The only other people I know of who sell trick horses are the amazing Katelyn Carter (http://www.shantyarabians.com/) and the fantabulous Selena Dickmann (http://www.freewebs.com/weldergirl69/littlebowfjords.htm).
What is the market value of a horse who is fantastic under saddle, in the show ring, and does tricks?!
Well, we've put him on the market at $12,500 and I guess we'll see what the market says.
I think I'm going to miss that boy when he does sell, but I know someone's going to have so many adventures and so much fun with him! And I'm going to continue on doing exactly the same thing with Jose! <3
