If you were looking to buy a top end riding club horse, capable to pre nov standard what would your budget be? not a quirky horse just general straight forward sort.

Between 4 and 6k dependent on age and experience.

oooooooo I reckon this type would be worth £6 - 8K especially if it had a track record, although I'm no expert.

Yes agree, but its always intersting what people ask to what they actually get... if you no what i mean

Just for open level RC stuff I wouldnt pay more than £3500 personally. But it depends where you are in the country as English prices seem huge compared to our Scottish ones!

I always find the prices on here are really low. If I was looking to buy a top end riding club capable of pre-novice which was straight-forward and with a proven track record I would be thinking more like 8-10k

I agree with Worried 1 - that is the reason I had to buy a youngster in the end as prices for anything with a bit of experience are sky high!

weve just bought one for less then 2k. so it depends on where you look. Our one will need a bit of schooling and doesnt have much of a record but he is more then capable. and will hopefully go further then RC level showing and working hunter.

I reckon 5K would be a good budget to get something sane, sound and with limit of pre novice.

To go straight out and compete at top RC level, then £4-6k - to go straight out and win at that level, then £5-8k. If you are prepared to put in the work and miss out a season whilst you are doing the groundwork, then £3-6k. It really depends on how much work you want to do, and being realistic about how good a rider you are.

£5k+ if you want to do well

10k for something thats capable of PN?! I think you're looking in the wrong places.
IMO a sensible RC type, pretty well schooled and capable of SJ 1m10 and eventing at 1m should be worth around £4000. If you wanted something capable of doing that with its eyes shut that needed absolutely no work at all and winning then maybe more like £5000.

There is what a horse like this SHOULD be worth and what they are going for...
Open classes at RC level are not small and are very competitive - I would say £7k for a decent horse at that level, at a good age.

I think you're spot on. That's what I paid (more or less) for my horse. And he ticks all those boxes.
