I am genuinely curious as to how much my pony is worth, I really haven't got a clue.

She is a 12hh, registered Section A, 11 years old with low mileage. She is chestnut with half roan genes

She is a fab all rounder, loves jumping, X-Country and hunting. Has done pony club camp and hunter trials. She Hacks alone and in company, and has also been broken to drive (although hasn't driven for a while).

She is a very quick learner, goes in a snaffle at all times, never gets lit up or silly but loves to work.

She loads her self and is fine in traffic.

Would only be suitable for a confident child who wants to kick on and have fun, she wouldn't have the patience to be a lead rein/first ridden pony.

Her only let downs are she can be tricky to shoe and clip but this improves as she gets to know the Farrier/clipper. It's taken 5 years for the farrier to be able to shoe her without an issue

Never needed sedating though!

Not planning on selling her, just genuinely interested!
 
She's finally on the mend, am hoping to do an update tomorrow if she gets back on board for the first time since the accident

Foe a really good allround pony, who is safe and sensible, and will teach a child lots...I'd say priceless

The market isn't great atm, but good ponies always sell, I'd say about £3500, round here

agree with f_s_ that really she is priceless as a good alrounder!
however, around here, even though the market isn't great, fab PC ponies go within days through the pony club, so I would say around here you would prob get £3000/£3500 for her.
 
I thought she had weak hocks and the vet said she wouldnt stand up to a heavy workload?!

If this is still the case then her value isnt a great deal imho.

She turns her hocks out but it is something she has always done. when schooling it is more noticeable as she is on soft ground. Vet said she would be fine to hunt/jump etc as long as she was fit. He also said hunting would be a lot better for her then doing endless circles in the school. It doesn't effect her in any way, weather it will in the future who knows.
 
See, I really am clueless

I was thinking you would all say about £1000

She is only insured for £900

To me she is priceless

She looks a lovely little pony. Problem is like all little ponies if they don't get the right home then you get problems.

So with small ponies that carry a parent's valuable children they are only worth as much as their ability to keep them on board even if the children are rough little brutes!

Seen it so many times.

she's not a push button pony right?

If you know what button to press she is fine

LJ's sister has ridden her and managed her fine. She never does anything naughty but if you put a beginner on her she would just cling to the adult standing near by.

I guess she is quite sensitive and wouldn't want someone on her that was bouncing around and being silly, but then I wouldn't want anyone like that to ride her anyway

I would say around £2500? Only because of her age and current climate.

Isn't she a good age to sell? or would she sell for more if she was younger?

Age isn't so important when it comes to ponies - there are plenty round here in their 20's and 30's and still going strong. There is always a market for a good pony schoolmaster - hard to find and usually sold by word of mouth. If anything Millie is 'young'.

I'm not sure how you would even begin to value her.

In certain parts of the country - a huge amount of money (she really is every good child jockey's dream pony).

But she isn't a school misstress though is she? So no she's not worth anymore. And when you have a 11.2hh pony, they should be used to 4 yr olds plonked on thier backs to look pretty
laugh.gif


No good having a childs pony that a child has to sit really quiet on.

My semi ferral sec A gelding (4yrs) has had me cock my leg over him and jump about, he nearly sh1t himself, but its tough! Get used to it!

Sorry, little rant over. Not aimed at said pony alone, just general rant about kids ponies
grin.gif
 
Don't get me wrong LJ doesn't always sit quietly on her, in fact she sometimes winds her up which is hilarious, all Millie does is pull faces, it's not like she sends them into orbit
tongue.gif
 
Ah OK, it was just the way you worded that you had to sit extra still on her
smile.gif


At the end of the day a horse is worth as much as someones willing to pay

Ive had very good offers on my boys but they aint going no where

As with children, ponies come with a wide range of abilities and a pony like Millie that can turn a hoof to anything with a competant jockey on board is worth whatever the local market demands. A pony that a 4 year old can sit on is a lead rein/first ridden pony and is a very different proposition.

I not sure what your definition of schoolmaster is but my understanding is that it is a well schooled pony that has experience and miles on the clock as well a good all round education which a child can learn a lot on.

I feel for your 4 year old if you think its appropriate to 'jump about' on it.

ALL the youngsters I break get used to it! Whats the point in having a horse your too scared to move about on?

I didnt say I jump about on him!!
I cockedmy leg over!
Gimley's 2nd time schooled he was cantering!
No point pi$$ing about!

I can see you are of the opinion that all ponies are exactly the same!! A lead rein/first ridden pony for a tiny tot is a very different thing from a pony that is a good all rounder, forward going, but sane and sensible.

There are a lot of people that would bite your hand off for a capable and safe pony for their child.
