How do you put a price on a horse?

compared to others........ if you get change from £35,000 ill be suprised....... even £40,000 wouldnt shock me! nice horse though... if only that 81million came my way :rolleyes:
 
Serious money. Hes a small tour horse so not your average amateur dressage horse. He is targeted at a Young Rider/Junior or Pro and knowing what other Junior horses go for you could pay anywhere upto £100k. Stunning horse though so worth it to the right person I would think.

Do you have a budget and what do you want the horse for? If it's what you want why not ask? It looks very expensive but it's all relative!
 
Ive been looking for best part of a year for a horse to work up the levels. Been to pro yards, seen lots, price varies from reasonable to "I need a mortgage" the thing I have trouble with is nothing seems to be selling, yet these prices vary so much and you get the good old "yes but it has potential to......" everyone seems to be holding out for big money yet I know from the ones we've seen they haven't sold some on the market for a year.
 
Very expensive! Though probably less than a few years ago (in the current economic climate.. "Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it") so maybe it's worth asking them what the minimum they would accept is..? And then maybe if they would tell you what other offers they have..? Be ready for a large number though :p
 
You'll surely only know what its worth by going to see him and understand who he is?

You'll never know if he's what you really want until you view....

True but when looking at kind of horse I would be a lot happier going to see it if I knew the money was achievable. Otherwise you set your heart on a horse who is way out of your price league.

Pricing horses at that level is hard. I would suggest you probably have a good idea of what he would be worth having looked for so long so its always worth a call. I always discount the pricing based on what a horse could possibly do, I look to pay for what it has achieved unless it is say, working at a level which could be shown, although has not competed at that level. My thing is eventers, hence never wanting to pay for potential - you just do not know until the horse has actually tried a certain level as to whether it will do it or not!
