My $4,500 horse - I wouldn’t sell her for a million. I’ve been told “you STOLE that horse” when I reveal how much I paid for her. Best compliment ever! 😊 Had I known how much I would love her and how she has saved my life… I would have emptied my bank account to have her. Life is amazing sometimes, as is hindsight.
Those expensive horses in the later half of your video were beautiful and well behaved, but they got that way only because people like you devoted years of good quality care and patient training. You do a wonderful job with your horses, especially those who have special health concerns. Some owners would rather pass that burden off to the next buyer rather than address it. You should be proud of the care and love you give to your horses. I’m impressed and happy for your babies. Well done!
Don't be sad!!!! Rescue horses are the best type of horses You may not have a $75,000 horse but you have a horse and that’s more than what I have. I have no horse. 😂😂
Wow. I could drool and window shop at this auction. I once rode a retired champion reiner. She was one of the best horses I ever had the pleasure of riding. I can understand why someone would want one of these horses.
The things I love about your channel. You don’t show your face. It is about the horses. You are buying horses that really need your help and you are helping us understand what it takes to be a horseman.
Yes, it’s so refreshing to see someone make their TH-cam channel more about their passion than about themselves. It comes across as so much more genuine and natural.
Those prices are ridiculous unless you can't train a horse yourself & are wealthy! You've got the skills to make any of your own horses into something special like these horses. 💕
Agree. Not worth the money unless you use the horse for show, rodeo or breeding to make your money back. Yes she has the skills to train a 5 dollars horse and make a great affordable horse for some young rider.
I ride dressage and hunter/jumpers and am not wealthy. I love my horses dearly but have had the opportunity to ride several very expensive well trained horses and can vouch for the fact that they would be worth every penny to own. I mean, I like my Prius, but I’m guessing that driving a Maserati would be a darn sight better.
Well said. I've owned an ornery grey mare from Wyoming that taught me how to ride.I had ridden before but she could be a handful. She came thru for me a couple times, one of which involved a bobcat. She smelled him & took off for 3/4 of a mile or so. Fastest she ever ran in her life!!
Oooh and I just love your 500 dollar horses ... when you see those make overs and how they transform into these beautiful horses... that is just such an amazing thing to do in life ... I just love your channel and what you do ... ❤
I loved what you are doing for Nigel, he is such a sweet sassy little thing and because you decided to keep him for the rest of his life. It heart warming that you were this little mans angel.
Selfishly, I'm kind of glad you can't afford them. Because you have to handle so many issues that the horses may have on your own, we viewers get to witness your extraordinary skills! I love it when a trainer like you breaks through layers of fear and resistance and gains an animal's trust. It's a beautiful miracle. And I love seeing you become your own farrier. The first time I saw you working on a horse's feet, my jaw dropped! I had never seen anything like that--EVER! It was so inspiring!
Oh sweetheart, your ‘wealth’ far outweighs the most expensive horse! Can I tell you why? What you give your rescue horses, is something money cannot buy. I’d urge you to not regret the horse you may not be able to afford, to rejoicing the priceless gift you give every horse/pony that you’ve rescued. God bless your beautiful heart.
I think what people are really paying for is the trust they are getting a safe horse. Most of the rich people buying a likely only going to do some basic trail riding, but there are so many horror stories that can happen with horse buying if you have the money (and not the skill) it’s worth the investment to be safe.
It’s like purchasing a dog vs adopting. I have 2 dogs, one is a purebred GS the other a GS rescue. I paid a lot for my purebred but for that money I got a complete history of temperament, health and genetics for 10 generations. I trained her myself with no help. With my rescue I got her for free BUT I ended up spending all most the same as my purebred due to fear issues from the abuse she had done to her. I had to get help from a professional trainer because she was so fearful. Her fear was way beyond my ability to help her and rather put her down I got her help. She will always be timid with strangers but she doesn’t react like she did because she’s scared. She’s much more confident and happier than she was so the money was worth spending
I feel the same way you do. I loved watching the auction and the horses were fabulous, but I know I'll never own one. Every horse I ever owned was either given to me by someone who couldn't have him anymore, emergency rescued or abandoned. They were all terrific animals that were loved by myself and my daughter. They showed great in our local shows and lived to a ripe old age. They're buried her on the farm. Thank you for your great videos.
You are an amazing trainer with the potential to be worldfamos. You already are, I´m in Germany. I keep on sharing your videos. Your horses are much more seen and happy than most of the expensive ones I think. You are giving them such a great life, which is the biggest success at all. Thank You God bless You
if i was you, i wouldn’t be sad about not being able to buy a horse like these?! you are a gifted young woman that has knowledge about training and taming a horse… you could train one of your own which it’s more valuable then just to buy one… a horse trained to your liking and loved would be so much valuable in my opinion
If you got money, sure you can go buy someone else's hard work and commitment to that horse. But besides the money that buyer has nothing invested in him/her of themselves. I would much more rather have 100's of hours of sweat, worry, tears, hopes and dreams, actually working with the horse to change its demeanor, help them to over come their fears and perhaps give them back their life. Yea, anyone with money can buy a horse and call it theirs. But not so many, like you, can reshape a lost or abused horse that will learn to love you, get to know your voice and even come running to you when they see you and all because you took the time, patience and love to care for an unwanted beauty in the rough. When you have that gift and yes, it is a gift from God you get so much more than just a horse, you make a new friend and maybe even a new family member. I'll take your way any day over theirs 🐴🐴🐴
You could buy a beautifully carved marble sculpture or you could be the one who sees the beauty in the block of marble and shapes what no one else can see. You are saving discarded unwanted horses and lovingly turning them into treasures.❤
The horse on my logo was given to me ay almost 4 years old-I could not touch her or catch her-she was neglected malnutritioned but within 4 mos i was riding her-she is 1/2 Dutch Warmblood 1/4 Percheron 1/4 TB and we did a lot a lot a lot of petting feeding loving and groundwork-she is smart and rounds up the other horses for me and puts them away-Her name is Justine. Keep on doing what you are doing-it is beautiful and helpful to the horses and to Gaia the earth our Mother
Those horses are gorgeous, but I agree with you--I love an underdog type of horse. And you are doing amazing work with horses that may not have had another chance, that is the gold standard in my book. All horses have value. ❤❤
Never say never. I learned that a very long time ago. I've just discovered your channel, and what I've seen you do, and how you treat your rescued horses are priceless, and that is worth so much more. They have grown into beautiful horses and the life that you give them is everything to them I'm sure. You can't put a price on that! They are put into your life for a reason. ❤❤
It's not roping or barrel CC but you're training a $25 filly in self-confidence common sense & loving friendship which makes Scarlett & All Your's PRICELESS
certainly if one loves horses the price does not matter a horse of 100$ or a horse of ten thousand dollars in essence it is the same. time and love is important❤
Gorgeous horses but I would rather have one that I had built a relationship with from stage one for my own personal horse🌟 Thanks for another great video!!!! God Bless
Ahh, you never know----one of your rescues COULD be a future horse at this sale----you might also train one up that your well paid client wants to buy from you directly----just keep going! Expand your heart into accepting PROSPERITY while creating health and well-being in the horses you do take on. The Universe responds to those who keep on going. God Bless!
This was such a great audio explanation along with the video experience. It is so well done and interesting to cowpokes like me. Like most hired trainers,. I just mostly go to look for other clients wanting fully educated animals. You explain the yes-is and no-s and breeding points clearly. Just great.
My shelter Malinois with issues $175 (we just had our one-year anniversary) and Maxine's training is coming along nicely, or a fully trained Malinois for personal protection with papers and genetic tested parents at $40k plus. I'll take a shelter dog every time. There's just something about them, it seems they are truly grateful for their new home. The thing I love most is when during training a dog has a "lightbulb" moment, it gets the correlation between the task, and reward then gives you that "well did I do it right?" look and gets the celebratory zoomies when they get praise!!
Wow, these prices were indeed exorbitant...anything over 100k for 'just a nice quiet pretty well broke horse is A LOT! I can see if they are performance winners or something....it just goes to show the wealth gap we have in the country as, obviously there are a lot of folks that are able to pay that. Now that it is past the pandemic I wonder if the prices will continue to climb, or stabilize or now decline as folks have to back into the office more and more...I figure some people realized how awesome horses are from the pandemic and will stay in it. I am sure hoping we don't see a surplus of horses in years to come that are going to be off loaded into unsavory conditions etc. The one your friend liked was indeed super fancy!
Some of them were proven in different disciplines and all were very well bred! I think the really nice ones will stay high for then next 5 years or so, Lots of smaller breeders are not producing anymore and registration numbers are down. Rescues are paying alot of money to "bail" slaughter type horses leaving people who are working with a very small budget less options for good horses. It is an interesting time in the industry for sure!
I had no idea western trained horses could go for so much. I appreciate horses greatly but don't know much about them or the industry. I used to live next to a horse farm where the teens did junior rodeo and won rodeo queen competitions. Eighteen years ago they were thrilled to get this one slightly older competition experienced horse with good joints (which could still compete) for $10,000. So I thought prices in this range, plus or minus, were the thing. I thought only jumpers fetched the prices I just saw here! But amazing horses. Surely worth it for those with this kind of pocket change.
Ditto on Harriet's comment! All that you do will build for good. Your professionalism is top-notch too and many families and young people all appreciate how you change rough stones into diamonds with effort, care and mature timing for the horses involved! I like how you start a horse under saddle as soon as they turn four (4). You care for the horse as much as the client and it shows. Keep it going!!! We enjoy YOUR talents!
These horses are impressive for sure. Your horses are beautiful, too. You can always train yourself up a real gem and keep. There’s your Frisco Bill. Prim is lovely, but I think I’m in love with Scarlet. Steady as she goes with that one. Thanks for sharing, this was really nice to see. But I still totally enjoy seeing your “regular people” horses 😍
I wouldn't worry about being able to afford a horse 🐎 for that much money. Teach your favorite horse all of the things you see these horses at the sale doing. Become a top notch horse trainer. You can definitely do it.💯
If you have the patience and expertise you can buy extremely well bred quarter horse colts for anywhere from 2.5K to 8K here in Montana and raise them up and train them to be 100K or greater horses.That was how my great grandfather and grandfather made their money. Great grandpa trained horses until he was 92 years old(that was the last year he trained a horse and he died the following year). I definitely see the up side of this type of auction though for people who have the money and want a solid, proven horse that will be the same every day from the day they buy it until the day it passes away. I actually like this kind of auction because it gives people who have worked hard, and made a life for themselves the ability to buy a safe, sound horse as they love horses but just don't have the time or expertise to make a horse like this for themselves, and that's OK. They should be able to enjoy the love of a good horse just like any other person who dreams of one day having their own horse to ride. I can't imagine a life without horses, honestly I don't want to ever live in a reality like that and I wouldn't want anyone else to have to live in a reality like that either. Do you ever make any runs up north to the Canadian dispersal sales from the different AQHA breeders up there? I didn't go this year but I plan to start back up next year hopefully, they sell some excellent started 3 - 4 year old prospects for really low prices especially when you take the exchange rate into account.
I was nice to horses and know they are and will be in a good place. What a contrast to the other sales. This horses do not need your help, but you have the pleasure to meet them briefly and share it with you
It's good to see the prices of well bred & well trained horses growing. I was fortunate enough to spend some time at the Loomis Ranch a couple times. I rode a couple of the up and coming Topsail Whiz, 2 year Olds, wow they were fabulous. It's sad that Whiz is gone, he was a awesome stallion. You could literally walk out into his paddock and he was always happy to see you. 🥰💔 I will always cherish his memory.
I have been horseless for five years now, after spending my entire with them. Im only 93, but i may never have another, but you are right, the value of your horses don't make the horse valuable.
I bet all of the horses you train are as good as these - and that is the important thing - quality doesn't have a price tag - the important thing is finding a safe and loving home and saving as many of these beautiful beings as you can - each one exceptional Agree there is a difference in ease with lots of money but you are rich in soul and courage and kindness and sky and gratitude and admiration. And these rich folks often are tied with strings that we are better off without (even with just 2 cents to our name ? :)
I am a retired chiropractor who also treated horses. When I worked with an orthopedic surgeon in Slovenia, I collaborated with a young vet there to publish the first articles on Equine Chiropractic in that part of the world in Slovenia's only equine magazine. I visited Lipcica often and treated a few Lipica (Lipizanner) horses. Now, those are expensive horses!
Thanks for this video.Ive never seen a horse sell for this much unless it was a racehorse.some of these babies were so impressive and greatly trained.IM Impressed. THANKS CLEVER COWGIRL!
I love how you love all of the horses, especially the horses that are meant to be with you! There are no accidents, just very valuable lessons and love shared throughout! God Bless you! I tend to also love the ones that no one else wants as they deserve as much love as the ones that cost 50K. They are amazing when you love them and they blossom!
Lovely animals! We all hanker after those beautiful push button horses, but there's a lot of satisfaction in bringing around one who didn't get a good start, and just needs patience & understanding. ❤️
My parents paid $35 bucks from local SPCA, back in 1978. For a black Shetland pony. She was a rescue pony, & was blind in one eye (blinded from abuse) she had been seriously abused…absolutely terrified of people, apparently ridden by adults also. & she was only 10 hands. For me, 12 years at the time. A barely 4’10” 75 lbs kid. We lived on a horse ranch at the time. So she was almost in our backyard. I must say she was probably one of the best things to ever happen to me 🎉🙏🏼♥️ She was unbelievably strong and healthy, thank God💙 The rule was after I finished my homework, I could ride “ knickers “. & we lived right next to a huge park. I even had to cross a little stream on her, not in the winter. Of course, it was a raging river, lol. Never once did I hurt myself; never fell-off, bitten or kicked. And we galloped through the park ! Jumped over falling down trees. She jumped no problem, never went lame. She was so strong. I used an English snaffle & bridle, with a bare back pad, no saddle. I was the only one to handle her, but she did love my family. They were able to be around her without her showing any signs of fear. Also she was great for the farrier & veterinarian. She was my first pony, and she taught me so much. It was unbelievable she was so clever, so smart, & so sweet, never showed any aggression ever. (even after such abuse) I think she thought of me, as a blessing, as I did her ♥️⭐️♥️ Of course, it didn’t take long for me to grow-out of her. We retired her to live with another white Shetland pony in pasture together at “Whiffletree Ranch” where they continued to love our precious knickers”🙏🏼💙⭐️
The most expensive and legendary horse I ever rode was one of the Marlboro horses. His regular name was Shorty, but he had a long fancy thoroughbred name, and he certainly wasn't short, being 16 hands tall. My friend had bought him, and we went on a all day trail ride with around 300 other horses. This ride was not for the faint of heart! Some of the trails were almost vertical as this one particular one was. I felt like "The Man from Snowy River" going down that bluff, and Shorty took it all in stride. I just gave him his head and let him pick his way down. Oh, the memories we made that day! Such fun, and I have a ton of pictures for proof. ❤
i equate this to buying a fancy bred dog vs adopting from a shelter or any other rescue. i feel much better about my choice. what we see with our eyes can be so enticing....but what we don't see behind this glam/glitter might surprise us! enjoy who you are and what you are! it seems pretty spectacular to me!
I very much enjoy your videos and your uncommon horse sense. The cost is relative, whether its a $500 or $500,000 horse. I have been given very well bred horses for free because of owner or trainer inflicted behavior issues. I rehab, show, and kept-keep them for life as they are family.
I happen to prefer Your horses. We get to see them up close, no matter where they are in their journey when you meet them, and we get to learn about what they need to become whatever kind of work they’re going to do. I believe the horses at this sale are for people who are not interested in doing the work, the training. or don’t need to. You are a pro, I’d rather see you/your horses in action.
Wow. This is fascinating. Thanks so much. Less depressing than the auctions with the poor $500 horses that may be rescued or may be thrown away. But one of the rescue horses you train may end up at a high-end sale like this.
at the end of the day, they are all just horses, no matter if you pay 500 or 350.000 dollars. they all have the same wants and needs and when paired with the right person, they can be awesome. buying a super well trained, expensive horse doesn´t make you a better rider. and personally i honestly think that the 500 dollar horses that come home with you have a much better life than most of the horses sold at that auction.
I grew up on a horse farm in Florida. We raised Arabians. it was profitable for many years until it wasn't. We loved all our horses, and they were well cared for. My parents died and to settle the estate my siblings forced the sale of the farm. We did OK moneywise. It was bittersweet. I have fond memories of our life during those times. I miss the foals most of all. I miss my Arab Stallion Z. He was a great horse, fun to ride. He was like a 950 pound dog. If I still had the farm, I'd populate it with rescue horses in a heartbeat.
Ocala horse sales go millions of dollars all the time. Last year, we had over 200 horses sold at the million dollar mark. The most expensive was sold for $9,616,360.
You have set your course, Miss Clever Cowgirl, and you are doing it well and wisely. Just a peek into the ridiculous side of things might tempt you to think in other terms, but your gift is important and recognised, as well as appreciated by so many here!!! When I am considering what I want to invest in, I want to put every dollar where it can do the most good! I do not care to "drive" my money around, so I drive a little KIA....I don't want to wear my money around either...so I thrift shop for a lot of things. This allows my hubby and I to invest in people who would not otherwise have the means to help themselves. Don't let the sparkle detract you...all that glitters is not gold! Anyway, just keep your eyes on the goal...we love you and are backing you 100%!! Can't wait for the next vid - love from the southeast!!!
You'll have one. If you really want one. I watched your video about your life choices. How you got to where you are. You know how to achieve your dreams. In my experience with money. It's a bit like the monopoly game. The more you understand it the greater the skills. The more money you make the more you can use it for loving kindness. I'm sure there is an after market for those horses. As you said, the reputation sells them. Another thing I've noticed about wealthy people. They love to include wonderful people into their confidence.
These may be high end horses but you have the skill and love to save horses that are in need of your care. If not for people like you I can;t imagine what would happen to the darlings that are lacking love and care? Your's is a different level of buying as you give your whole heart to needy horses whereas anyone with spare dollars to spend can go for the very best, they don't get to see what you achieve and how your love can give these little darlings the life they deserve. I would much rather meet with a horse saved by you than any grand horse that only big bucks can buy. Please keep up the good work angel...
My $4,500 horse - I wouldn’t sell her for a million. I’ve been told “you STOLE that horse” when I reveal how much I paid for her. Best compliment ever! 😊 Had I known how much I would love her and how she has saved my life… I would have emptied my bank account to have her. Life is amazing sometimes, as is hindsight.
My favorite is when I take one of my fixer upper ponies to a show and people ooo and aaaaa over how fancy they are 😀
Those expensive horses in the later half of your video were beautiful and well behaved, but they got that way only because people like you devoted years of good quality care and patient training. You do a wonderful job with your horses, especially those who have special health concerns. Some owners would rather pass that burden off to the next buyer rather than address it.

Couldn't agree more!
Don't be sad!!!! Rescue horses are the best type of horses
You may not have a $75,000 horse but you have a horse and that’s more than what I have. I have no horse. 😂😂
Right? I'll take 10 priceless rescues over a 75k any day!
I hope that these horses are truly cared for and loved, instead of being treated like an expensive status automobile.
Wow. I could drool and window shop at this auction. I once rode a retired champion reiner. She was one of the best horses I ever had the pleasure of riding. I can understand why someone would want one of these horses.
At the end of the day, an expensive horse goes “neigh” and poops in your barn same as an inexpensive one.
@@scoobydoo5447 Yeah, but would you rather sit and enjoy the ride, or spend your time fighting the horse the whole time on the trails?
The things I love about your channel. You don’t show your face. It is about the horses. You are buying horses that really need your help and you are helping us understand what it takes to be a horseman.
Yes, it’s so refreshing to see someone make their TH-cam channel more about their passion than about themselves. It comes across as so much more genuine and natural.
💯 agree

You've got the skills to make any of your own horses into something special like these horses.

Agree. Not worth the money unless you use the horse for show, rodeo or breeding to make your money back. Yes she has the skills to train a 5 dollars horse and make a great affordable horse for some young rider.
I ride dressage and hunter/jumpers and am not wealthy. I love my horses dearly but have had the opportunity to ride several very expensive well trained horses and can vouch for the fact that they would be worth every penny to own.

The most beautiful, most talented and most priceless horse is the one you look at everyday out in your own pasture!
Well said. I've owned an ornery grey mare from Wyoming that taught me how to ride.I had ridden before but she could be a handful. She came thru for me a couple times, one of which involved a bobcat. She smelled him & took off for 3/4 of a mile or so. Fastest she ever ran in her life!!

ABSOLUTELY!!!
They get ripped off too, you're just not going to hear about it.
It’s like purchasing a dog vs adopting. I have 2 dogs, one is a purebred GS the other a GS rescue.

Love Your Attitude “I will enjoy a 500 dollar Horse as much as a 50K Horse”….❤😊
Every horse that gets sold to a nice home and cared for is good by me. 👍 Thanks for showing this. I like your auction videos a lot.
Skelator is priceless.
if i was you, i wouldn’t be sad about not being able to buy a horse like these?! you are a gifted young woman that has knowledge about training and taming a horse… you could train one of your own which it’s more valuable then just to buy one…
a horse trained to your liking and loved would be so much valuable in my opinion
That's the way about the ones I raised and trained. Nothing can bring you closer to a horse that you foaled and trained yourself.
If you got money, sure you can go buy someone else's hard work and commitment to that horse. But besides the money that buyer has nothing invested in him/her of themselves. I would much more rather have 100's of hours of sweat, worry, tears, hopes and dreams, actually working with the horse to change its demeanor, help them to over come their fears and perhaps give them back their life. Yea, anyone with money can buy a horse and call it theirs. But not so many, like you, can reshape a lost or abused horse that will learn to love you, get to know your voice and even come running to you when they see you and all because you took the time, patience and love to care for an unwanted beauty in the rough. When you have that gift and yes, it is a gift from God you get so much more than just a horse, you make a new friend and maybe even a new family member. I'll take your way any day over theirs 🐴🐴🐴
Some people have to suffer through years and years at a regular job before they even get to ride a horse! I think I’ve got the better deal 😉
@@TheCleverCowgirl Yea, you're blessed. I'm 67 and have never ridden and more than likely never will. That's life
Cheap horses are just as amazing ❤
Great video, but I like your way of thinking better. Saving a nice horse at your local auction to train and care for is the best way.
Those were some beautiful horses, sellers and future owners. What made me happy was the fact they had been loved and cared for all of their lives.
You could buy a beautifully carved marble sculpture or you could be the one who sees the beauty in the block of marble and shapes what no one else can see. You are saving discarded unwanted horses and lovingly turning them into treasures.❤
The horse on my logo was given to me ay almost 4 years old-I could not touch her or catch her-she was neglected malnutritioned but within 4 mos i was riding her-she is 1/2 Dutch Warmblood 1/4 Percheron 1/4 TB and we did a lot a lot a lot of petting feeding loving and groundwork-she is smart and rounds up the other horses for me and puts them away-Her name is Justine. Keep on doing what you are doing-it is beautiful and helpful to the horses and to Gaia the earth our Mother
So many people believe in you and what you do for your horses, it is a joy to watch your videos. Thank you!

You realize you have a priceless heart, right? The love you give to your horses goes beyond monetary value, making them priceless too.

They have grown into beautiful horses and the life that you give them is everything to them I'm sure. You can't put a price on that! They are put into your life for a reason. ❤❤
Yes...those are very fine horses. And I hope every one of them finds a home with someone as kind, skilled and loving as you.
It's not roping or barrel CC but you're training a $25 filly in self-confidence common sense & loving friendship which makes Scarlett & All Your's PRICELESS
The little Amish girl on the back of this huge horse! It really is a great way of showing how docile they are!
If I ever win the lottery, I'm heading to this sale, LOL! Such nice horses! Thanks for posting this video. It was quite awesome! ❤
What you do for your horses is priceless !
certainly if one loves horses the price does not matter a horse of 100$ or a horse of ten thousand dollars in essence it is the same. time and love is important❤
What beautiful horses,but your doing a great job working with horses to make them better.
I admire the LOVE and care you show to your horses it will follow them the rest of the of their lives
CC, always be grateful for what you have. I know you know this already, but I kind of need the reminder myself!
Gorgeous horses but I would rather have one that I had built a relationship with from stage one for my own personal horse🌟 Thanks for another great video!!!! God Bless
Ahh, you never know----one of your rescues COULD be a future horse at this sale----you might also train one up that your well paid client wants to buy from you directly----just keep going! Expand your heart into accepting PROSPERITY while creating health and well-being in the horses you do take on. The Universe responds to those who keep on going. God Bless!
I would love to get Stewy in a similar sale! He's got the right temperament!
This was such a great audio explanation along with the video experience. It is so well done and interesting to cowpokes like me. Like most hired trainers,. I just mostly go to look for other clients wanting fully educated animals. You explain the yes-is and no-s and breeding points clearly. Just great.
Thank you so much!
The horses you rescue & save are mighty happy.
My shelter Malinois with issues $175 (we just had our one-year anniversary) and Maxine's training is coming along nicely, or a fully trained Malinois for personal protection with papers and genetic tested parents at $40k plus. I'll take a shelter dog every time. There's just something about them, it seems they are truly grateful for their new home. The thing I love most is when during training a dog has a "lightbulb" moment, it gets the correlation between the task, and reward then gives you that "well did I do it right?" look and gets the celebratory zoomies when they get praise!!
These horses were beautiful ,,but if you have skills you can make a good horse ,,and the pleasure from training your own horse is unbeatable ,,🙏💕🐎👌
I am like you dear. I love training horses and with a small budget. Thank You for sharing!
Wow, these prices were indeed exorbitant...anything over 100k for 'just a nice quiet pretty well broke horse is A LOT! I can see if they are performance winners or something....it just goes to show the wealth gap we have in the country as, obviously there are a lot of folks that are able to pay that. Now that it is past the pandemic I wonder if the prices will continue to climb, or stabilize or now decline as folks have to back into the office more and more...I figure some people realized how awesome horses are from the pandemic and will stay in it. I am sure hoping we don't see a surplus of horses in years to come that are going to be off loaded into unsavory conditions etc.
The one your friend liked was indeed super fancy!
Some of them were proven in different disciplines and all were very well bred! I think the really nice ones will stay high for then next 5 years or so, Lots of smaller breeders are not producing anymore and registration numbers are down. Rescues are paying alot of money to "bail" slaughter type horses leaving people who are working with a very small budget less options for good horses. It is an interesting time in the industry for sure!
I had no idea western trained horses could go for so much. I appreciate horses greatly but don't know much about them or the industry. I used to live next to a horse farm where the teens did junior rodeo and won rodeo queen competitions. Eighteen years ago they were thrilled to get this one slightly older competition experienced horse with good joints (which could still compete) for $10,000. So I thought prices in this range, plus or minus, were the thing. I thought only jumpers fetched the prices I just saw here! But amazing horses. Surely worth it for those with this kind of pocket change.
What truly awesome & absolutely beautiful & behaved horses. What a show. Thankyou for us to along with you to this special kind of horse auction.
Loved the palomino with the luxurious mane...375k! Wow!!...💜🐎
Agree, couldnt believe the price.
Just remember every horse is a champion to its owner. Price doesn't mean perfect
Love, & respect every horse. Each is a gift from GOD.
Ditto on Harriet's comment! All that you do will build for good. Your professionalism is top-notch too and many families and young people all appreciate how you change rough stones into diamonds with effort, care and mature timing for the horses involved! I like how you start a horse under saddle as soon as they turn four (4). You care for the horse as much as the client and it shows. Keep it going!!! We enjoy YOUR talents!
You have such a wonderful and beautiful life!!! Nothing money could ever buy.
Great job on this video, we are so pleased you came to our sale and enjoyed!
Thank you! A top notch sale and hands down one of my favorites to attend!!!
The decorations around the stall rows is hilarious.
I think some of your horses are just as nice as these horses !!! I live Skelatore and think he would go for almost as much !
These horses are impressive for sure. Your horses are beautiful, too. You can always train yourself up a real gem and keep. There’s your Frisco Bill. Prim is lovely, but I think I’m in love with Scarlet. Steady as she goes with that one. Thanks for sharing, this was really nice to see. But I still totally enjoy seeing your “regular people” horses 😍
I wouldn't worry about being able to afford a
horse 🐎 for that much money.
Teach your favorite horse all of the
things you see these horses at the
sale doing.
Become a top notch horse trainer.
You can definitely do it.💯
This was beautiful ,horses and barn ! Appreciation is fun ❤
If you have the patience and expertise you can buy extremely well bred quarter horse colts for anywhere from 2.5K to 8K here in Montana and raise them up and train them to be 100K or greater horses.That was how my great grandfather and grandfather made their money. Great grandpa trained horses until he was 92 years old(that was the last year he trained a horse and he died the following year). I definitely see the up side of this type of auction though for people who have the money and want a solid, proven horse that will be the same every day from the day they buy it until the day it passes away. I actually like this kind of auction because it gives people who have worked hard, and made a life for themselves the ability to buy a safe, sound horse as they love horses but just don't have the time or expertise to make a horse like this for themselves, and that's OK. They should be able to enjoy the love of a good horse just like any other person who dreams of one day having their own horse to ride. I can't imagine a life without horses, honestly I don't want to ever live in a reality like that and I wouldn't want anyone else to have to live in a reality like that either. Do you ever make any runs up north to the Canadian dispersal sales from the different AQHA breeders up there? I didn't go this year but I plan to start back up next year hopefully, they sell some excellent started 3 - 4 year old prospects for really low prices especially when you take the exchange rate into account.
I'll have to look into that! Close than Texas!
I was nice to horses and know they are and will be in a good place. What a contrast to the other sales. This horses do not need your help, but you have the pleasure to meet them briefly and share it with you
It is nice to take a mental break and just enjoy the horses. Sometimes I don't realize the mental toll it can take only attending lower end sales.
It's good to see the prices of well bred & well trained horses growing.
I was fortunate enough to spend some time at the Loomis Ranch a couple times. I rode a couple of the up and coming Topsail Whiz, 2 year Olds, wow they were fabulous. It's sad that Whiz is gone, he was a awesome stallion. You could literally walk out into his paddock and he was always happy to see you. 🥰💔 I will always cherish his memory.
I have been horseless for five years now, after spending my entire with them. Im only 93, but i may never have another, but you are right, the value of your horses don't make the horse valuable.
Beautiful ❤ Thanks for sharing ❤ would love to see more of these Auctions!
I bet all of the horses you train are as good as these - and that is the important thing - quality doesn't have a price tag - the important thing is finding a safe and loving home and saving as many of these beautiful beings as you can - each one exceptional
Agree there is a difference in ease with lots of money but you are rich in soul and courage and kindness and sky and gratitude and admiration. And these rich folks often are tied with strings that we are better off without (even with just 2 cents to our name ? :)
I am a retired chiropractor who also treated horses. When I worked with an orthopedic surgeon in Slovenia, I collaborated with a young vet there to publish the first articles on Equine Chiropractic in that part of the world in Slovenia's only equine magazine. I visited Lipcica often and treated a few Lipica (Lipizanner) horses. Now, those are expensive horses!
Thanks for this video.Ive never seen a horse sell for this much unless it was a racehorse.some of these babies were so impressive and greatly trained.IM Impressed. THANKS CLEVER COWGIRL!
I think your $500 horses are just as beautiful as those $100,000 horses. 🐎❤🐎❤🐎❤
Thanks for sharing that was interesting & I love to see beautiful horses.
We live in Saratoga Springs NY. The Fasig-Tipton sales are fun to watch.
I love how you love all of the horses, especially the horses that are meant to be with you! There are no accidents, just very valuable lessons and love shared throughout! God Bless you! I tend to also love the ones that no one else wants as they deserve as much love as the ones that cost 50K. They are amazing when you love them and they blossom!
I am glad you clarified that it is "one of the most expensive" cuz compared to race horse auctions, this is pennies on the dime.
Oh yeah, Keenland is super cool. I haven’t been in years but seeing them sell for millions is always a trip!
Lovely animals! We all hanker after those beautiful push button horses, but there's a lot of satisfaction in bringing around one who didn't get a good start, and just needs patience & understanding. ❤️
It is crazy now. I bought a horse off the King ranch in 1983 for 1500. He was 4 finished and a gelding.
My parents paid $35 bucks from local SPCA, back in 1978. For a black Shetland pony. She was a rescue pony, & was blind in one eye (blinded from abuse) she had been seriously abused…absolutely terrified of people, apparently ridden by adults also. & she was only 10 hands.
For me, 12 years at the time. A barely 4’10” 75 lbs kid.
We lived on a horse ranch at the time. So she was almost in our backyard.
I must say she was probably one of the best things to ever happen to me 🎉🙏🏼♥️
She was unbelievably strong and healthy, thank God💙
The rule was after I finished my homework, I could ride “ knickers “. & we lived right next to a huge park. I even had to cross a little stream on her, not in the winter. Of course, it was a raging river, lol.
Never once did I hurt myself; never fell-off, bitten or kicked. And we galloped through the park ! Jumped over falling down trees. She jumped no problem, never went lame. She was so strong.
I used an English snaffle & bridle, with a bare back pad, no saddle. I was the only one to handle her, but she did love my family. They were able to be around her without her showing any signs of fear. Also she was great for the farrier & veterinarian.
She was my first pony, and she taught me so much. It was unbelievable she was so clever, so smart, & so sweet, never showed any aggression ever. (even after such abuse)
I think she thought of me, as a blessing, as I did her ♥️⭐️♥️
Of course, it didn’t take long for me to grow-out of her. We retired her to live with another white Shetland pony in pasture together at “Whiffletree Ranch” where they continued to love our precious knickers”🙏🏼💙⭐️
The most expensive and legendary horse I ever rode was one of the Marlboro horses. His regular name was Shorty, but he had a long fancy thoroughbred name, and he certainly wasn't short, being 16 hands tall. My friend had bought him, and we went on a all day trail ride with around 300 other horses. This ride was not for the faint of heart! Some of the trails were almost vertical as this one particular one was. I felt like "The Man from Snowy River" going down that bluff, and Shorty took it all in stride. I just gave him his head and let him pick his way down. Oh, the memories we made that day! Such fun, and I have a ton of pictures for proof. ❤
I used to work there 😉 Beautiful country and some gnarly trails best left for the horses to figure out!
Thanks for this, I had no idea and really appreciate you teaching us!
i equate this to buying a fancy bred dog vs adopting from a shelter or any other rescue. i feel much better about my choice. what we see with our eyes can be so enticing....but what we don't see behind this glam/glitter might surprise us! enjoy who you are and what you are! it seems pretty spectacular to me!
I very much enjoy your videos and your uncommon horse sense. The cost is relative, whether its a $500 or $500,000 horse. I have been given very well bred horses for free because of owner or trainer inflicted behavior issues. I rehab, show, and kept-keep them for life as they are family.
I clean stalls to get my horse fix and pay bills.
That’s they way to do it!
I happen to prefer Your horses. We get to see them up close, no matter where they are in their journey when you meet them, and we get to learn about what they need to become whatever kind of work they’re going to do. I believe the horses at this sale are for people who are not interested in doing the work, the training. or don’t need to. You are a pro, I’d rather see you/your horses in action.
Wow. This is fascinating. Thanks so much. Less depressing than the auctions with the poor $500 horses that may be rescued or may be thrown away. But one of the rescue horses you train may end up at a high-end sale like this.
Maybe you’ll RAISE UP and train a horse like one of these. Thanks for keeping me company through the long weekend. 💕
Maybe one day!
at the end of the day, they are all just horses, no matter if you pay 500 or 350.000 dollars. they all have the same wants and needs and when paired with the right person, they can be awesome. buying a super well trained, expensive horse doesn´t make you a better rider. and personally i honestly think that the 500 dollar horses that come home with you have a much better life than most of the horses sold at that auction.
I can only admire them because I sure can't afford them! I hope all of them got truly good homes.
I love your videos!! Thank you😊
I grew up on a horse farm in Florida. We raised Arabians. it was profitable for many years until it wasn't. We loved all our horses, and they were well cared for. My parents died and to settle the estate my siblings forced the sale of the farm. We did OK moneywise. It was bittersweet. I have fond memories of our life during those times. I miss the foals most of all. I miss my Arab Stallion Z. He was a great horse, fun to ride. He was like a 950 pound dog. If I still had the farm, I'd populate it with rescue horses in a heartbeat.
Never say never! A dream persued earnestly and persistantly can sometimes magically come true.
I like your way better, you save horses and that's everything.
Ocala horse sales go millions of dollars all the time. Last year, we had over 200 horses sold at the million dollar mark. The most expensive was sold for $9,616,360.
For thoroughbreds…these are performance horses.
@@TheCleverCowgirl got it. But the title is “where millionaires buy horses”. Just that. 👍
Stunning, equestrian, eye candy 😍
I love your videos so much. Very impressive high dollar horses, but I prefer the big mountain trail horses myself.
You have set your course, Miss Clever Cowgirl, and you are doing it well and wisely. Just a peek into the ridiculous side of things might tempt you to think in other terms, but your gift is important and recognised, as well as appreciated by so many here!!! When I am considering what I want to invest in, I want to put every dollar where it can do the most good! I do not care to "drive" my money around, so I drive a little KIA....I don't want to wear my money around either...so I thrift shop for a lot of things. This allows my hubby and I to invest in people who would not otherwise have the means to help themselves.
Don't let the sparkle detract you...all that glitters is not gold!
Anyway, just keep your eyes on the goal...we love you and are backing you 100%!!
Can't wait for the next vid - love from the southeast!!!
This was a very enjoyable video.
You'll have one. If you really want one.
I watched your video about your life choices. How you got to where you are. You know how to achieve your dreams.
In my experience with money. It's a bit like the monopoly game. The more you understand it the greater the skills.
The more money you make the more you can use it for loving kindness.
I'm sure there is an after market for those horses. As you said, the reputation sells them.
Another thing I've noticed about wealthy people. They love to include wonderful people into their confidence.
Great Video I love this horse
Every horse is priceless just some are more pampered. Bless. I would love one but I may be past the age to start fresh. ❤️🐴💙🐴
Every single one of them should be treated this well
These may be high end horses but you have the skill and love to save horses that are in need of your care. If not for people like you I can;t imagine what would happen to the darlings that are lacking love and care? Your's is a different level of buying as you give your whole heart to needy horses whereas anyone with spare dollars to spend can go for the very best, they don't get to see what you achieve and how your love can give these little darlings the life they deserve. I would much rather meet with a horse saved by you than any grand horse that only big bucks can buy. Please keep up the good work angel...
Truly beautiful horses there.
Very emotional presentation! 🐴
All the best to you and your family. 🤗
P.S. hope some day you will get the horse of your dreams 🐎🏆🌻
I'm sure she will and it will be one she found and trained herself.
