Do you think they have put too many 0s on this ad?

Nice foalie, shame about the circumstances but

at the price...
 
Slight error there I think, seeing it rear wouldn't stop a serious buyer though, its a youngster... they all do that.

hmm but if I was a serious buyer a picture of the foal rearing would make me question the professionalism of the seller.

I am assuming the price isn't correct - if it was I would expect to see something with impeccable manners presented professionally!
 
Ive seen them go for more than that, does seem a bit normal tho, nowt special to look at, well at least the price of horses can come down a bit now everyone is so busy spending money on tax these days, lol. my yearling is much nicer and will probably make a better jumper, but everyone thinks their own beast is best.

Maybe the rearing is trying to prove how strong its quarters are (important for show jumpers) wouldnt be surprised if there was a video on you tube showing how fast it can go backwards, lol, (another sign of strong quarters)
 
I recon there just random pictures, maybe the only pictures they had, cute filly though.
As for over priced, I personally don't think so but thats just my view, how can you tell if a youngster is over priced from a picture?

You would pay eighteen thousand pounds for a foal which really doesnt have outstanding breeding?

In the meantime, Lancer mares continue to sell for astronomical prices, probably because many hopeful breeders stand in line to repeat the success story of the great Cantus

Lancer filly, unspoilt, expect some wheelies from yearlings, just not to use them in adverts!
def not £1,800 !
 
Ha ha

no, sorry I meant if there was an error with the price and should be say £1,800.00 then I wouldn't think it was overly priced thats all, I thought some of you meant even at £1,800.00 that is was over priced.
Nor would I over look going to see it because the picture, If was looking for a WB filly.
 
I think Horsemart is not the best place to market this type of filly, she is aimed at a more specialist market.

It does state for professional, and she is barely a year old.
I'd prefer to see a picture of her moving free around an arena to show natural paces though.
 
I think its fairly obvious that it is a mistake, and if you read the add it is for sale due to death in family, so i would presume people selling arn't terribly proffessional hence rearing picture, for £1,800 she looks like she will grow in to money, you cant breed them for that, i would say she is good value!
