firstly sorry for going a bit mad on posts today!
but i would really appreciate some help
situation is i am looking for an advanced dressage schoolmaster to progress my riding with
i have seen one this weekend that i really like ( seen a few before)
he really was the schoolmaster i expected , & a lovely sensible & mannerly chap
he also has competed up to psg
he is 15 going on 16 years old , seems to be in good health & i am told no previous problems or injuries
his owners are looking for a bit quieter pace for him just based on his age
he does windsuck & is on a supplement for this & on cortaflex as a precautionary measure
now , my instructor has curled her nose up at the asking price , she thinks its too much money
i do realise his upkeep costs will be higher than my other horse , & that shoud i ever wish to sell ( not part of the plan ) that i will loose £££ based on his age ( most likely i would keep him for the rest of his life though) & that he may only work at the level he is now for 2 or 3 years
i admit i have seen a broad range of prices for horses like this
<font color="blue"> would you be so kind as to give me a cold & calculated view as to a reasonable price for a horse like this? </font>
