Fully Loaded Gelding
EPRA registered only.

Trigger is by Fully Loaded (Metallic cat) out of a Double Impact/ TB mare.
Rising 5 years old. 15 hh.

He is quiet, easy to do everything with, up to date with dental and worming.
A sensitive forward moving gelding that would make a great work, barrel, team sorting or campdraft horse with more time.
Good after a spell, spent 4 weeks with a cutting trainer. Started on cattle, buffalo and the barrel pattern.
Been loaded on the truck and taken to multiple outings loped around turning back cattle at drafts. Done light mustering and plenty of general riding around the property. Trigger is easy to have around, and will make a fantastic horse for someone looking to have some fun.

They have worded this to perfection.

I’m going to preface this by disclosing that I don’t set my prices. My accountant does. She’s done my books for the last 8 years and watched me struggle financially the whole way. She owns horses and is aware of how the industry works.

There’s a post on fb talking about prices in the horse industry. Mostly on trainers and breakers. Personally I charge $550 a week including gst. For this your horse gets its feet and teeth done. It gets fed and kept in a private paddock with a rug on. Most important they get rode/handled for a minimum of an hour a day. I know there’s people either side of me. Some more some less
That is not really any of my business.

The biggest cost that constantly gets over looked is land. It’s extremely hard to do much without some sort of base to work out of. I’m extremely fortunate that my family helped me to get a start. Without their help there’s no chance I’d be able to buy a place to run a viable horse enterprise. Numbers aren’t my thing and I’m sure someone in the comments will help. To get a 30% deposit on a $700000 place is going to take a lot of horse riding. Add some facilities to work in and a million dollars quickly rolls around.

Then you have to add in all the stupid s**t that I hate thinking about. Insurance, loss of income insurance, sick days, holidays, superannuation and wages. Seriously it gets out of hand extremely quickly.

It’s a dangerous job. No matter how good you are there’s a chance a Gumby horse will hurt you. And you’re working for the paying public that means you have to take and ride everything that gets run in underneath you, the good the bad and the ugly. Today is 32 degrees and 99% humidity. I still have to work. It’s to hot to ride at lunch so I’ll shoe some in the middle of the day in the shade.

Yesterday it was rained out and we could only ride a limited number of horses. I could build an undercover. At $500000 I’ll have to work until lunch time the day of my funeral to pay it off.

Guess what I’m trying to say is this isn’t an easy job. It can be extremely rewarding and has moments I wouldn’t change for the world. It also has days that are an absolute grind. I think everyone no matter what they charge is earning their pay.

If you think anyone in the horse industry is over paid then feel free to start a cheaper business and get after it.

They’ll always be a cheaper option. And that’s fine. It’s how the economy works.

HORSES IN TRAINING…

You pay that hefty training bill for the month.

You look to have you horse in training as little as possible so it doesn’t break the bank.

You’re disappointed when after 30 days or 60 days or 90 days, there’s still more work to be done or the goal hasn’t been met. Worse yet, it looks good, you take the horse home and it unravels piece by piece. All that money “wasted”.

When you pay a trainer, that money isn’t paying for a result, it’s paying for someone’s skilled effort.

At least for me, when someone gets unhappy that their horse “isn’t fixed yet”, or comes “untrained” after it’s been home a while, makes the task of training horses for other people, discouraging. Discouraging because the efforts are being made, usually my best efforts that are filled with compassion, determination and lots of ruminating on how to fix complex issues a horse may have. Their disappointment becomes my failure basically. I know that’s not an actual truth but it’s never rewarding when someone is disappointed due to their own expectations.

Training a horse is NOT like being a mechanic on a car. Its not a tune up, it’s not the simple replacement of a part. It’s an animal with thoughts, feelings, emotions, habits, talents, etc. You don’t just program them, tune them up or replace a faulty part and send it back good as new.

You arent paying for results to happen within your timeline, you are paying for the time it takes to reach a desired result. The more complicated the project, the bigger the investment. The more baggage a horse has, the more effort it takes to unravel the mess. The bigger the goal, the greater the investment.

People send their horses to certain trainers because they want the outcome that trainer proves they can achieve. The problem is, people want that result in the shortest time frame possible because time, again, is money. It takes the time it takes to create the vision and time costs money. People who have a diy mentality, value the effort so much more when they themselves invest their own energy into a horse rather than just paying for it. I really feel that those who do it themselves, come to appreciate the efforts it takes far more than those who sign the check.

Be nice to your trainers, they work hard for you and your horse!

My 2 year old c**t filling out beautifully 😮‍💨

30/09/2024

I feel like the title “c**t starter” can be very misrepresented these days.

A c**t starter is not just some fearless person who climbs on a horse and flops around like a sack of potatoes.

I personally feel like a person who is eager to climb on a horse without having him properly set up for his first ride is not a “c**t starter” I call those idiots

A C**t starter is the person who puts the imprinted foundation on a horse, that will set this horse up for his future, abilities, and way of thinking….
I read a comment the other day from someone who said “ I would have liked to have had this horse as an unstarted two year old”

That hit close to home, I cannot count how many times I have said this about a horse that has come through our program!

I understand how expensive life has become, but the cheap route is typically never the best route!

Do your homework on your C**t starters and trainers! And invest in your horses! They deserve a fair chance!

RANT OVER😂
