Dressage Horses

[tormor]

Why are they so expensive?? I looking to buy one later on this year. However looking around a the prices of a horse working a novice level BD people are asking around 10k if not more!

Why are they so much more expensive than showjumpers? grrrr

thats what i thought

Because to have a horse that is well bred it will cost you money.
It takes alot of time, money and effort to get a dressge horse to a level, hence why decent ones cost more!

Lot of money floating round in the dressage circles

Bumps the average prices up basically.

We sold our WB who was winning at elementary with over 70% for £5000 because he wouldnt pass the vet (sound but failed flexion tests and had sidebone).
