A friend of mine is having some trouble selling her horse, how much would you value her at?

She is 15.1hh 8yrs old. Very safe, 100% traffic, box, clip, shoe. Hacks alone and in company. Sj, xc, dressage, hunting, will jump ANYTHING you point her at xc. Has done 3 years of pony club camp. Bred a coloured foal. No vices, does not buck rear or nap, real people horse. Not a novice ride as she is a little strong sometimes i.e. hunting so would probably not suit someone who hasn't ridden a lot.

I thought she would have had more interest considering how safe she is? I might be wrong! What do you think?

she is lovely! no good with valuations though but i am currently looking for similar so am interested in what people think so i can set my budget!!
 
Relatively local I think but she works for an eventer so its a decent height, forgot to mention all tack is included too.
 
what sort of competition experience has she got? She has got a great jump, really picks up her front legs...
and she is a lovely looking horse...

I think you could expect around the £3.5 to £4K mark...if she's got good competition experience / results, more.

As she has only done local and has no bsja,british eventing exp,i would class her as a decent all rounder,i would stretch to £3.5k but that be it tbh,my friend has her horse for sale and he has done bsja,BE novice,novice dressage,hunted etc etc and always placed,usually 1st 2nd dressage,he is up for £5750 so i definately wouldnt say £5k for her!Only other option is take advert down and retry in the spring,noone in the right mind would buy anything atm

She looks lovely and sounds great.I would have thought £4k (not a great time to be selling!)Probaly could have asked £7k 18 months ago
 
She has done well and competed a lot, was thinking more along the lines of her being a safe ride. There are a lot of horses out there that compete a lot and do well but arent great to hack, hunt, mother daughter share types etc. I assume people would pay for the safety factor. Shes not normally the type of thing I come across as I only have dressage horses, there doesn't seem to be as much of a problem the higher end.
 
I sold a 16.1hh version for a lot more than most peoples valuation here! He did have a BE record though and had won at RC/PC level in all disciplines. I would say 5.5k-6k.
 
She was up for around the 5k mark but I think she would take 4500 icluding tack, This sound about right?
 
I would have thought she was worth £5K easily even with only local level competition experience. Being coloured means she should be more saleable.
I don't think many people are looking at the moment so probably why she hasn't sold, I think she will be snapped up in Spring with warmer weather and longer days.
 
Hopefully thats it, everyone I know is buying up now to be ready for summer. I'll let her know shes not overpricing her anyway!!
