I knew the horse market was bad. I have been offered by 3 differant owners 3 registerd arabians with nice blood lines in the last 2 months.All 3 horse are under 12 years of age. Is it that bad right now? Anyone else being offerd horses like this?

Yes, it's really sad.

We've been offered a few too, and just couldn't take any more. I couldn't turn away one that was starving, so I absolutely can't go to any auctions.

I can only hope and pray it will get better for the horses sake.

Yes, it is that bad. Especially up here where we are way overpopulated as well as being 2 cutting short on hay.

Just check out Craigs list for horses, I have seen quite a few listed "free to good home"

If you hear of anyone looking for a good home for their horse because they can not take care of it let us know. We can handle a couple here.

Unfortunately it is that bad. I have not personally been offered any horses, but given the opportunity, I don't think I could turn one away.
