Green horses - prices

Also bear in mind a lot of what we call dealers are really sales agents, selling on privately owned horses on behalf of the owner. In this case the owner has the final say on the price they'd accept, you'd expect the sales agent to put forward any offers to them, and who knows what they have going on that might mean that they want the horse sold. These 'dealers' are probably charging for sales livery, which doesn't cost them but costs the owner if the horse doesn't sell, which can be a strong motivator as it's not cheap.

With dealers its supply and demand.
If there is a lot of interest then I wouldn’t expect a huge reduction, but if been on the market a while I’d completely expect to haggle. It costs a dealer to have a non selling horse bed blocking in a stable.

I guess by a while you’d expect a few months. I don’t think it would be that long.. it’s only been on a week or so. I need to accept it probably won’t be this horse (partly because of family EOL care it’s likely to be a few weeks anyway) I did express interest but did t make an offer.
