A different sort of 'how much' post...

[PapaFrita]

Well, sort of. How much do you think this chap would be worth in the UK? (I'll tell you later how much he's going for, though I have mentioned it elsewhere before)
He's 9, a Silla Argentina (wb) gelding, competing successfully at 1.30 and 1.40m with my farrier who says he can't see a stride to save his life. About 16.2 hh.

At 1.30

At 1.40

Suggestions?

Probably stupidly cheap over there just to make us all jealous that to buy something similar in the UK we'd have to sell our parents!!

 

[PapaFrita]

Well... I'll tell you later... Not THAT cheap

I cant comment as I know how much he is asking for him over there - but I LOVE THAT HORSE!

If he would take £10k (UK) for him I would buy him tomorrow!

 

[PapaFrita]

I'll pass on the message!

He is lovely, isn't he? (the horse, not the farrier!!)

 

[Weezy]

If he would take it I would buy him - couldnt offer more than that due to shipping costs! I fell in love with that horse the first time you posted a pic - he is just my idea of perfection!

No idea how much apart from priceless! That horse is gorgeous!

i'd say £30-40k upwards? but again, im abroad, so dont really know UK prices just a guess

 

[seabiscuit]

Aw I love that horse too Weezy !! The very first pic that PF put up I was like 'I want !!' He is a dream!
Err, I would say that he is equivalent to £20,000?

 

[TGM]

Haven't got a clue on price - but - WOW- he's looks a fantastic horse

 

[CastleMouse]

He has an amazing jump, he'd be worth a lot I'm sure, aboput €20,000 maybe?

 

[PapaFrita]

US$25k... which is... quick google search... just over £13k. Farrier says he's just had an offer of $30,000 from Bolivia. Horsie has won last 3 classes at 1.40m.
