How is the market for colts?
« on: April 05, 2006, 05:43:18 PM »

I have been asked to sell some Trakehner babies from weanlings up to 3 year olds who have been started under saddle. Where should I start in terms of getting these guys sold, internet ads? networking at local barns? print ads? If anyone has any input, I would be very greatful!

I've had my best luck selling through the internet.  I've used several locations, and pointed them back to my website.  I've found local advertising of little benefit, but I have had leads from local trainers who were familiar with my horses.

I've got 0 experience selling babies, but I'm having super luck selling my trained horses at warmbloods-for-sale.com. They're super cheap, so it can't hurt!

Only hunter people seem to want babies, but once they're under saddle, the interest really picks up.  The only exception I've seen is if you have a colt that's so outstanding you can market him as a stallion prospect.
