What do people budget for a dressage warmblood with decent breeding, 4 ish years old, backed and lightly produced, not competing yet but ready to go into YH classes?
Looking at the ads it seems you can get the above but unfashionable bloodlines and in a winter coat for a few £k in this country or something massive and blingy from the continent for anything from 20-100k!
What differentiates a 5k 4yo from a 25k one? Apart from white bandages and plaits obviously (!)
Breeding? Movement/athleticism at current point in time? Level of training? Trainability/brain? Breeding potential - mare/gelding/stallion?
