[SonofFalzan]

Hello everyone!

 

I posted a while back about a son of Falzan that I purchased at a small town sale barn, underfed and in bad shape. I am pleased to say that my little grey stud horse is shaping up nicely but this also means the time has come to find him a new home, as I don't have time or space for eleven horse, especially a stallion. 

Which brings me to my question: As a direct son of Falzan, should I try to sell him as a stallion or, looking at the horse market, should I get him cut an try to sell him as a gelding? He is five years old and we have learned lunging and had the saddle on. I had rode him twice before Christmas but due to breaking a rib and college, I have had a chance to try that again. 

Advice please?

 

Thank you,

Catie

Depends on the horse,

He seems pretty chill, especially compared to some stallions I've been around. But I am pretty clueless with Arabians.

Catie,

 

Do you have any photos that you could post?  Without seeing a photograph (and even WITH seeing one), my inclination would be to tell you to have him gelded and sell him as a riding horse.  There's just not much of a market right now for a stallion, and you might have more interest in a gelding.  Have you thought about visiting with Falzon's owner?

The sire line to Balance is not that common these days....but as noted above it all depends on whether his conformation merits him remaining a stallion.
