How much for...

[jhoward]

1st of all this neddy is NOT for sale.. a mate is after him and has been bargining all day trying to get her paws on him.

14.1 traditonal cob.
10yr passed 5 stage vet in nove 2010
schooled ready for the showing season good to load/catch/poke prod etc.
is not ploddy and very safe, the sort that knows whos on him and looks after him,
5 yr olds ride him bare back in the field off the lead rein, 9 year old has been jumping him. they also groom, pick up feet and can catch him (bless the cob for putting his head down)
doesnt get silly in open spaces, can meet up with friends and then ride away.
jumps anything, but again is a real confidence giver.

the more experianced rider can jazz him up and have fun on him.

he is basically the sort that never comes up for sale and in this day and age is a rare find.

ive bought him to re school and show upto and above county level .

bad points.

needs a bit of sedation for clipping, and needs to have a good look at big veichels. ie tractors etc before passing, but he never SPOOKS at anything!
all haggling has would include around 800 hundred quids worth of tack/rugs.

so honestley what would you guys expect to pay for a safe cob that is a stunner!

heres a piccy ..

personally id pay anything up to 5000 for him but equally that depends how good he is at moving. if she cant do a nice dressage test, that id say 4000 or less and id expect him to jump 85cm okish for that or id put him down to 2500 if he was just nice hack and ok at showing but i dont really know, thats just my opinion

 

[jhoward]

he has stunning movement, and is 100% straight, jumping, he will pop 1m with no effort

I honestly couldn't say anything about pricing, as I know nothing about cobs partic showing type cobs.

Will say, he is gorgeous. And I love that pic of the little kiddy on him, super sweet.

oh JH he's in terrible condition, I think you should send him up here & let me take him off your hands & sort him out

on a serious note 4/5 grand roughly, im no expert though

 

[jhoward]

oh mm, hes been abused by children and adults all day. poor cobby!

 

[soulfull]

I too would say up to £5000

 

[louised1henry]

I reckon in this market 3k poss nearer 4 for the horse alone. Then add in the tack.

 

[CinnamonChristmasCookie]

£3500 and negotiate tack separately. Minimum.

 

[**Vanner**]

I agree ~ four grand and add tack on top.

He'd be just a lovely friend for my boy if you're after rehoming him

 

[jhoward]

he will come up for sale, but for now when i need some thing that will live alone, doesnt need riding all the time, cheap to keep and fits in my small lorry he fits the bill so well,.

I also want a season showing with him, this year due to finances i cant get the chaps/bspa/HC done which is gutting

mate adored him and has never met anything so good with the kids, hed also help her get her confidence back jumping etc. and her hubby could ride him a real family pony that would last them all a life time.

she offered 4k plus another horse in exchange. LOL i was holding firm and saying NOPE!
