So my boy is FINALLY getting out and doing BE as well as competing BD. His work is constantly improving and he gets better and better.
But, this has made me think that I need to up his insurance value. He was only insured for £2,000. I upped it a few months ago to £4,000. But since he has won 2 out of 2 BE80 comps, and came 15th at his first BE90 over a tough XC track, sadly two poles down in SJ were expensive otherwise he would have come 3rd). He is consistently pulling sub 30 dressage tests., and in BD always scores over 65% and is off to AF finals.
The rider who is competing him BE for me is doing another 90 before the end of the season, and will start him on 90's next season and move on up to BE100.
I know all other aspect such as conformation, temperament height age etc all come into play so here are the rest of the details;
16hh
Bay
Gelding
9 years old
7/8ths TB 1/8ths ID
Easy and polite to do in all ways
Hacks alone and company easily
Easy to ride on the flat and over a fence though not for a novice rider as is nicely sensitive
Only down side is his veterinary history - had a spell of lameness as a 3 y/o never officially diagnosed (vet advised turn away to mature), and had an SI ligament injury in 2016. Now recovered shows no sign of interfering with his work.
Someone on my yard said that after he won his two BE80's hes worth £10k! But I find that hard to believe, so can anyone offer a realistic value for him? I have always been stingy when it comes to the value of horses.
