True. But the title of the thread is more like a big "fuck you" to anyone who ever said the horse market was in the crapper.

IMO, this only proves it IS in the crapper. First, the horse was for sale here, but didnt sell here, she sold to Australia. Second, 10-20k range is not a lot of money for a "quality horse". So while congrats on selling is great, the whole tone of the thread is a big fat I told you so, except I dont know whats trying to be proved. While I agree the top end of the horse market will never dwindle, this is not the top.
I don't think that was the purpose of her post at all. I think it was more to illustrate that quality horses are still selling for decent money, even though all you hear about on this forum is how even good quality horses are available for next to nothing in this bad economy. It's nice to hear that quality hold its value regardless of the market. As it should. Supply and demand...
