I've just sold my hunter on as we didn't gel very well and got what I think he was worth at £4.5k (esp. with no vetting!!).
Although I've got a horse to hunt at the moment, I always keep an ear open for something that might suit me. There seems to be a lot of hunters for sale at the moment at the top end of the market. I saw a £9k one advertised the other day. There are also a lot at about £5.5 - £7.5k. Are people really spending this amount of money on hunters especially very normal hunters i.e. just your average hunter, nothing special or remarkable about them?
I know how hard it is to sell a horse at the moment so are sellers setting a high price and then taking a reduced amount for the horse? It does seem like a lot of sellers think their horses are worth a lot of money when, in the current market, they actually aren't.
Any thoughts on buying/selling hunters at the moment?
