I don't understand this forum sometimes and I've been here long enough that I shouldn't have this issue. According to the OP, the horse was sold to be a pasture puff and a trail horse. The buyer's costs are likely to exceed 20K once you figure in all of the transport costs. That fact alone is what is making some people say "holy shit, why would you pay that much for a horse for those uses?" Nobody said the mare wasn't worth 20K.

Good for HnH for selling her mare to an awsome home for a good price. What more could a horse owner wish for? As a matter of fact, I have 2 horses that would fit that order exceptionally well. If he needs 2 geldings to try to have 3 of a kind, please direct him to me. I think I could part with both of mine for that price and for the home she is going to. (I'm only kidding a little bit )
