> Another problem I see, is that if you sell young horses cheap then some of them - the ones who are later resold, might end up as a husband/child/trail horse for somebody, who does not put much effort into the training of the horse. Then when the kid outgrows the horse it is put up for sale for maybe 2000 as a 7-8 year old. I would not buy such a horse.

In my opinion, any horse that I put my husband/child/grandchild on for the trail had better have a heckuva LOT of training. A good trail horse, especially for an inexperienced rider, is worth it's weight in gold.
I find it sad when people assume that a "trail horse" has little to no training...
