How Much? (sorry!)

[Tempi]

Dark bay 4month old colt by Johnson (KWPN) out of dressage mare - lovely loose/floaty paces. not got a recent picture yet, hes still a funny colour in this one!:

Mare competed at medium, elementary regionals 2006, BYRDS Nationals 2005/2006, Petplan Prelim Reserve National Champion 2006, Petplan Novice Open National Champion 2007. By Etoile De Paris out of Runnaway Girl - Norman Cob x TB. Here she is:

oo - he's got a lovely neck & back end

Thought you were planning on keeping him?
I could be off the mark but I'd say about £3.5 - £4k?

 

[Halfstep]

He's a lovely stamp of a foal, and Johnson is a stunning stallion. I'd say 4.5k. But be careful - he might eat any prospective buyers first LOL

.

 

[Tempi]

LMAO - i know

 

[Tempi]

Ive been made redundant from my job and can only afford to keep one horse, so it has to be Archie. Ive also just bought a house (yesterday!!) so need to get my priorities straight.

Im not really attached to him at all as hes away at stud now anyways, so hes first to go.

 

[Halfstep]

OMG, congratulations on your house! Well done you. When do you move in?

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

congrats on the house - what are you going to do with bloss though ??? xxx

 

[MillionDollar]

I would have thought £2.5k - £3k.

Congrats on the house, how exciting! But what about Bloss?

 

[Tempi]

Thanx hun. ive got a couple of options for her. If not il send her to a retirement home or a Sanctuary of sorts where she can just live out and get old.

 

[Tempi]

Not 100% certain yet - fancy a free broodmare?

It's doubtful a sanctuary would take her (she's not a rescue animal) - and retirement homes cost. (Sorry to burst your bubble). Is she no longer rideable??

 

[Bright_Spark]

I would say about 3k, he is cracking.

Bloss is lovely too. I would be interested in her if you were to sell her

 

[Tempi]

Yes she is rideable, but i dont have the time or money to keep her

I have a friend who is interested in her, and also there is the option that her old owner might want her back.

 

[_jetset_]

Or she could come over to me and have some more babies

Just as an idea, have you looked at what other Johnson weanlings are going for???

Ah, of course. and Blossy too?

If I wasn't in a similar situation (minus the redundancy) I would be biting your hand off for her - hope you find good homes for them x

 

[MillionDollar]

Thanks for the offer, I would LOVE her, but I really can't afford another one

I now have 7

and just found out my WB is in-foal at last, so another one on the way.

 

[Tempi]

Ahhhh never mind, it was worth a try!!

7 is rather a lot!! i hope the yard is going well x

 

[severnmiles]

Congrats on the house but sorry to hear about the redundancy.

If you really need a sale, he's worth what someone will pay. If you can hold out and not in a rush to sell I'd have said 4k

 

[Tempi]

well ive got 2months until hes ready to be sold at weaning so thats what i thought i would advertise him at. Going to take some proper pictures tomoro hopefully and go from there.

 

[burtie]

He is lovely and will make a great horse but if you have to sell before winter I would look at the prices the foals made at the recent aution and advertise him at no more than £3.5k and take a sensible offer. If you can afford to keep him over winter then stick at £4k.
