I think it is strong money considering her age. Its says nothing of what she is like to ride/what work she has done and although well bred, is unproven as a broodie and 14 can be a bit late to start.
 
Ever so pretty but agree with marmalade, my arab is a year younger and is a proven RC competition horse with decent if limited BE record (not masses on there due to rider injury this season!) but I'd only expect to get £3000-£3500 for him if god forbid I had to sell. But maye if you are seriously into arab breeding that is where her value lies?
 
Why vieshot? I must admit I would question the lack of pictures under saddle, the comment 'highly spirited', and also the word 'unproven' rather than potential broodie.....but maybe thats just cos when we sold our mare who was an uunproven broodmare (had only ahd one before) I worded it as potential rather than unproven?!? But could just be the wording of the ad - photos look quite sweet?
 
All the pictures are either in the field or in a headcollar, just seems odd that they dont have any ridden pictures of her which would make me think she hasnt really been ridden much which makes me think what has she been doing then? Trying for a baby or just a field ornament? You would think they would pop a rider on her to have a trot round for the sake of the picture wouldnt you?
 
Lol you would....but then I am constantly gobsmacked by the adverts people use to sell their horses!! Deffo agree with all your comments though.
Funny tho, ad we bought our youngster from said: 3 year old bay 16hh gelding, clover hill breeding, nice temp.
I'd sell him as
Quality Scottish Sports Horse, 16.1hh, bay gelding. Maternal Grandsire Clover Hill, Sire's breeding includes Nimmerdor and Sandro. Excellant attitude to everything asked of him, bitted and lunged, seen traffic, gentle and easy to handle.

Admittedly he is now backed, hacking, travelling and been to first show but his ad made him sound pricey at the £2800 they wanted, I'd try for £4k now!

I reckon someone could start a consultancy business on advertising horses!

I'd second this- if my horse's ad had described him fully as he is, i wouldn't have stood a chance of getting him. In fact, I'd probably overlooked him as being too good for what I was looking for at the time.
His ad (free-ad with no pics) simply said:
"Kind, honest and willing, CHAPS registered, 8 year old piebald gelding, 15.2hh. Ridden english and western. good home essential"

Iassumed I was phoning up about a coloured cob type but went to see him anyway and fell in love with my little sporthorse!

First I got wind of what I'd actually bought was Eric Gillie's wife (they transported him for me) who gave me the heads up on his breeder after looking at his passport. I then did a search on his bloodlines online and came up with a brilliant complete pedigree (all branches) going back hundreds of years.
 
Charlyan - lol!! That ad does sound like cob, thats what assumed too! Funny isn't it, how some horses just aren't well advertised!!
