16.3hh 7YO KWPN chestnut gelding by Fuego du Prelet (Jumped 2 x World Cup Finals and 5* GP). BSJA £650...jumped DC's at 1.30m/1.40m with pro rider and currently winning and placing at 1.10m/1.20m with an amateur. Rarely has a pole. Good to clip, shoe, box, hacks alone or in company but not a novice ride. An ideal YR's horse.
 
Oh these ones are tricky....and I'm not really that up on KWPNs in the UK, but I would hazard a guess at somewhere around 20K??
 
I would say current market about £8-9K? Go on did you get done or get Dom?

BSJA £1150 actual, £985 notional

Qualified 1.10 amateur 2nd round

Placed every time out unaffiliated dressage, would easily affiliate

Hacks alone or in company - Not a novice ride

Must sell due to lack of time

£6,250

or....

BSJA winnings - £812 actual, £774 notional

Now needs a competitive rider to realise his full potential

He has both won and been placed in unaffiliated dressage and has 7 British Dressage points

Is extremely bold and scopey cross country (jumps ditches, water, steps, drops, corners etc)

Has hunted with many hunts and will go first or last, jumping anything placed in front of him

He has also been placed in many Working Hunters and would go to County level ridden hunters/ working hunters or Affiliated Combined Training

Wonderful temperament - 100 % clip, box, shoe, hack, traffic etc

Caring home wanted for this very special horse

£8,000
 
Sorry....forgot to add one other thing....was a dressage horse once upon a time and would have the equivilent of around 70 BD points too. Competed up to Medium level in Holland as a 6yo

Rambo how on earth does a horse jump 2 World Cups & 5* GP's with winnings of £650 I am completely flumoxed. It is supposed to be a recognised Grade A to even compete Intenational classes. Please tell me the secret.

I'm gonna keep everyone guessing for a while (well until tomorrow anyways

) as i'm interested to hear....call it a little experiment along the lines of 'How high is this fence

'...
 
Well do know someone who was offered 35 000 (sorry pound thing not working) for well bred graded mare roughly same age and jumping similiar tracks.She was also offered 12000 for other mare who hasn't done foxhunter classes yet but is capable as only young yet.
Would definitely think 20,000 plus based on that
Or maybe people up here are willing to pay over the odds

If he was jumping 130's - 140s as a 7 yo one has to wonder whether he has GP/international potential. If for sale on the open market it would suggest that a pro had him and thought that this was not the case, especially if those words "make YR horse" were in it. Still sounds a valuable diesel horse, so if passing a vet with no problems I would have thought £25k or so.

No ages on either and no big track experience - one hell of a lot of difference having a DC at 1.10m and 1.40m!

(sorry am having a pedantic moment)

Ahh now I have read this part......I am changing my guess! Did you import him from Holland? Most of the Medium level horses I bought from Germany cost me about £2,000. So I will change my guess to £3,000.

You are scamming us!!!
