Seeing horses for sale under 100 may seem impossible, but horses have been sold for 1. You just have to ask around, read the ads, or put the word out on the grapevine, and you might be surprised at the number of horses that are available. Just be sure that you can afford the expense yourself before jumping at the opportunity.
Before, a cheap horse would probably be lame or not sound enough for regular work, either very young or very old, sick, or unmanageable. This can still be true, so any horse should be evaluated carefully for general health, soundness, and training. Getting a vet to check the horse, and maybe a professional rider and a farrier also, will be wise before parting with any money whatever.
Keeping a horse is an expensive proposition, even if it will be turned out at grass. You must be sure you yourself can afford to keep a horse, which has a life expectancy of twenty to thirty years. Regular care of the feet and the teeth, and periodic vaccines and worming will be required as a minimum, and vet bills may go much higher for unexpected illness and injury. Feed and hay mount up, bedding is expensive, and even used equipment will bring the total of expenses up.
Horses may perform well alone, but if you want to ride in company, ask to see how it does with others. How are its ground manners, can it be shod, will it load and haul? What does it eat, how old is it, does it bite or kick? Some answers you can get yourself, some should be checked rather than automatically believed, and some questions are best answered with professional counsel.
If you find a horse offered at this low price, make sure it is a good fit for you. Size, temperament, breeding, age, and level of training are all factors to be considered. If you want a show horse, don't buy a bargain draft animal. For rough trails, a thoroughbred off the track will be at best a long term project.
Young horses, old horses, untrained horses, and outgrown ponies may all be around for this affordable price. People who used to be able to afford to raise a colt to riding age may no longer want to, or they may no longer be able to keep both their horses in use and their old retired hacks. Horses that used to stand in the field and share the hay with more useful beasts may now be a drain on limited resources. Schools may no longer be able to take unlimited donations, and those horses may be up for grabs.
Finding horses for sale under 100 is very possible in these economic times, when it is a buyer's market.
