How much should i offer?

[Kadastorm]

hey there,

A couple of years ago we had a colt born at our yard. When he was weaned, a friend of the yard bought him and did a couple of inhand show classes with him (which he won). They have recently had him gelded and he is now for sale, he has been for a while actually but i only recently found out.

They need to sell him as they dont have the time to work with him, he has done some leading out on roads and i think he has been long reined. He isnt in the greatest condition but i know with a bit of time and feed he will be beautiful. He is a registered Connemara, currently standing at i would say 13.2hh but will grow.

They want a fair bit for him but im just wondering what you think i should offer as i think he is overpriced.

i would eventually sell him too as i am too tall but i really love connies and would like to slowly produce him as a showing/dressage or allrounder pony.

so, tell me what you think!?

I think you'd need a pic to be able to price??

ahh that is true, will try and get a recent one, although i have just looked up his ad again and they are asking even more for him so def well out of my price range! the photo in the add is on him not even a year old.

He is a lovely boy though

A show winning connie should fetch a good price but the market is depressed so make them an offer what have you got to lose?

Looks like a potentially nice pony but dreadful advert, picture very dated and does not even show him properly, no breeding details or even a few words about what a nice nature he has. I wonder how people expect to get any interest when the ads are so badly thought out.
Probably worth about £750, although on that ad nearer to £500
