Let me tell you a story about a wise man who was born about two hundred years ago.
His name was John Ruskin and he probably never sold a horse in his life.
He did a lot of thinking and writing and the following excerpt is a favorite of mine.
"It is unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that's all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,
because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it cannot be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better." -- John Ruskin, 1890
People were ignoring quality in pursuit of lower price even as far back as the 1800's.
I'd wager that even in the day of B.C. comic strip character Crock, a square wheel or two was
sold as a discounted substitute for a round wheel.
Within the buyers' circle of affordability, we sell the horse that is the best match and explain:
The horse is the inexpensive part of the transaction. (compared to maintenance costs).
A good match between horse and rider is priceless.
With a busy life, the importance of quality recreational time with a horse is paramount.
Safety trumps price, especially when the unsafe bargain horse leads to an unplanned vacation in the hospital
to mend an injured and broken body.
We use our experience and wisdom from years of being around horses
to help the buyer avoid buying a horse incapable of doing what it was bought to do.
