MONTANA - will you personally downscale your nz buying if it costs you 5k per horse,
and would just import more fillies from nz,
breed more
or purchase aussie horses

well i bought 10 fillies last year so i am set for awhile :-)
now that i live on a property my long term intention is to breed more , over the years i have changed my strategies for no real reasons other than to try different things.
as far as costs go well this is my hobby and if i want to be honest with myself if i actually looked how much it all cost me i think i would take up playing chess instead.
to answer your question though i wouldnt buy a 20k horse if i had also to get it to AU and pay a 5k import fee , but i would for a 50k plus horse. i could probably live with a 10% surcharge capped at 5k.....
