Horse Prices

[xxkatejayxx]

Have just been browsing through horsemart. Do you think this horse is overpriced?? It doesn't say anything about his competition record:

Can't say till have seen it and tried it - depends what you are looking for at the end of the day !!

 

[Eccles]

I think so!!

 

[ecrozier]

What does in riding condition not showing condition mean? Seems a strange thing to say. Nice horse but v pricey!

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Can't really comment on the price but George Harrison is a well known & respected rider/instructor/judge & horseman.....when he sells a horse it will do what it says on the tin.

Very overpriced IMO.

I'd say it's worth less than half that! But then I'm stingy!

I imagine it means it's not fat..... *runs like hell and prepares to be beaten by show people*

Hugely overpriced if they are basing all that on 'potential', which it looks like they are....IMO, anyway

nice looking little pony, but I would no way pay that for it

 

[trundle]

if its got so much potential, why doesn't he show it a bit this season and get some wins and qualifiers under its girth, ang then sell it as proven? Sorry, but potential really doesn't mean much to me.

 

[sfward]

Yes very!

 

[burtondog]

Seems overpriced to me. If it's 7 already why hasn't it proven a little of that potential ? Surely it must have some results already for that kind of money ?

i wouldn't pay that much for a horse even if it could change colour,fly and do the splits!!!!

but thats just me, and it doesn't sound like a wonder horse

as they say a horse is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay

 

[lmholden]

I think it is at least £7k overpriced - ok it might have 'potential' but I would have thought it would have something to show by now.

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

It is a lovely little horse, but I would want more evidence of achievement, rather than what they consider it's potential to be, before I considered parting with £10,000! Not that I'm ever likely to have £10,000 to buy a horse........sigh.

Yes Id say it was a rip off. Its only a small horse at a height range which not that many people look at (you know, most people look at 14.2hh's or 15.2hh's etc. whereas a 15hh is right in the middle of a horse and a pony transition if you know what I mean!). Wouldnt pay more than £3000 for it considering we dont know how its done competing.
