A how much thread?

[kirstyhen]

As I know you all love them so much

I can assure you that this is most definitely not an advert as I have absolutely zero interest in selling her (much to my Parents' disgust I think ) But I am interested to know what other people think she's worth, I won't be offended if you say 0.01p as she is priceless to me
I also need to think about upping her insurance, so as I have no idea what horses sell for, I need some help!

So, Mally, what's she worth!?

16.2hh Rising 5 year old, hacks alone and in company, goes first or last, very easy to do in everyway (especially as I can now pick up her back feet ) loves her jumping, seems to be rather scopey, could do an ok dressage test, straight movement but not 'flashy', very trainable. Well bred (Clover Hill, King of Diamonds) and a Mare, so in theory could breed if all else fails With a decent jockey, could probably go far, but equally easy enough for an idiot like me to ride! Not sharp or spooky and very bold!
Conformation seems pretty good to my rubbish eye, but has a big scar on her near hind (hence the issues with picking that foot up ) and a capped hock on her off hind.

Any takers??

I'm useless at pricing but 16.2 how tall are you Kirsty?! You make her look about 14.2 *note to self* make legs grow longer! BOOHOO!!! Seriously though, I think if you were selling her she would be one of those all rounder/schoolmaster types (when she is a little older)

 

[kirstyhen]

She is 16.2 and a half actually, I measured her the other day I am 6ft though, so make most things look dinky Hence why originally I didn't want a horse under 17hh, but went to look at a 16.1

When I idley look thro dealers websites, a horse of that description down here (south east) would be about £4 - £5k. However, I can tell from your posts that she is priceless to you and I think she is very lucky to have found her way to you!

Kirsty is a lanky great thing! No idea I'm afraid K, I'm naff at pricing!

 

[kirstyhen]

That was about what I was thinking, someone on my yard has just bought an irish youngster for about 5K, and I think Mal is smarter, but not necessarily worth more, if you know what I mean!

Yep, although I prefer 'elegant' or graceful in descriptions of me Not that I am either of those, just prefer them

So you are tall, graceful, elegant creature then It means you can wrap your legs around her as well!

Haha, someone who has clearly never seen me walk Unfortunately I ride extremely short for such a lanky bean, so no wrapping to be had

Whilst I haven't seen her in the flesh I have seen pictures and videos of her.

IMO she's a very ordinary brown horse with little or nothing to recommend her. Looks sharp, spooky and not forward going and therefore has little or no value.

To do you a HUGE favour I will take her off your hands or possibly swap for chestnut 3yo.

Deal??

I'm wounded - a generous offer like that rejected..............

 

[kirstyhen]

I tell you what, I take your generous offer of the Chestnut 3yro, but I wouldn't want to burden you with such a useless nag, so I'll keep her too
