How much do you think she is worth??

[madiz123]

Here i go on polo ponies AGAIN (apologies)

Basically, i am interested in buying this pony. I know the owners have turned down several people who asked to buy it, but they will sell it to me.

The issue is price. I asked how much they want for it and was frankly shocked.

Stats...

14.2hh Appy Argentine Mare
9 yrs
Completely sound, no health issues, vices, good temp and good to handle
Imported 07
Very easy pony. Stops, turns on sixpence and forward going.
Not a good top speed though. Not fast enough for some higher level games.

I personally want her due to her smaller size which suits arena polo much more, and of her course her stunning looks.

Some pics...

SO HOW MUCH DO YOU RECKON I SHOULD OFFER FOR HER

will post asking price later

If she's that good and they arent too bothered about selling her or not then they are probably right to ask a fair whack.

I have no idea what polo ponies fetch!!

 

[Bounty]

What level?

 

[Cruiseonamiro]

I have absolutely no idea. Haha, but for what it's worth, I bet she's worth every penny of what they're asking.

 

[madiz123]

Low goal polo

 

[chillidragon]

Perhaps they want £1 for every spot? I might pay up to £6k if she's all that and a bag of chips on the ground, under saddle, etc. But you've suggested they're asking a shocking amount so I'm putting in my bid at £12,000...?

ETS: She's super eyecatching, BTW.

 

[Bounty]

I'd pay £4k..... I bet they are asking loads because she is 'unusual/pretty/stunning/a head turner or any of that other bull!

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

10k??

 

[madiz123]

Hmm..no one right so far!

 

[scotsmare]

£..... however much you're prepared to pay for her!! If they don't want to sell then don't expect a bargain!

 

[Blackhawk]

How many seasons has she had?

Depending on that, it could be anything!

I've seen 4 season ponies up for £12-15k

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

i just found one for sale for £20k

nearer?

 

[madiz123]

well as an argentine i imagine about 5 seasons? i dont know exactly.

Not 20K though! I would have given up the will to live if he had said that

 

[seabiscuit]

What level has she played at before? in Argentina? that is the vital question.

If she has played at low goal and cannot keep up with medium goal then £6-7k.

If she has played and kept up with medium goal polo then £15k.

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

come on im nearly thru my first tub of ben and jerrys - if you make me wait much longer i will have to open a second!

And I have to go to bed in four minutes. Spill!

 

[pixiebee]

9k?

 

[Cruiseonamiro]

11k - random guess.

 

[Tinker_Belle]

I have no idea but she is a looker & I really want to know!

Curiosity may just kill the (Maltese) cat...

 

[kombikids]

my mate bought one for 9k that sounds similar without spots!

 

[Silverspring]

I would think about £13 - 15k for a polo pony of that calabre, this is kind of like a silent auction (not that anyone on this forum can be accused of being silent!) so how much is she for sale for?

 

[madiz123]

ok ok £8000

doesnt sound so bad as people have said things above 10K! I would sell my other pony for 10K and she is faster than most of the other ponies at the club!

There isnt really any way she is going to play anything near medium goal polo so i had thought, £4-6K, especially as she is so small and many players would be too big for her!

oh well i hope i didnt cause anyone mental damage! lol

you caused me stomach ache eating 2 pots of B&Js!!!
