BTW I rescue 1,000 is not too much to ask for a nice well broke horse, if that's what he is. That's actually quite low. My walker was 4500.00 and my morgan was 1500.00, and I have had to put a lot more time and effort into my morgan than my walker. He's coming around and is a great horse, but you often get what you pay for and if you can get a broke nice tempered horse for 1,000 you are doing well.
