Dolly, the coloured in my sig cost me £500. She is a fantastic horse and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Mac, the chesnut, cost me £750. He is a perfect gentleman. Only problem is, he has early onset of arthritis in his front leg, but did pass a vetting.
 
Less than £10k for a 7yo gelding who was jumping 1.30m/1.40m classes at the time, had competed dressage to Medium, and with a sire who jumped in 2 World Cup Finals, and a G-Sire that jumped in the Olympics

Just found out that his uncle is Dollar du Murier too

i payed £1200 (she was advertised at £1800) she is an appaloosa x cob 14hh great with kids was 3 years old broken and riding nicly could be stubben was rescued from slaughter bomb proof so cute(in my opinion) no vices wasn't passported or vaccinated but she is very genuin and has turned out to be very talented at jumping
 
I paid 4K for mine as a yearling. Although it was someone else that bought her for me, and then i bought them out when she was 6 for the same amount, as i had done everything with the horse. She was expensive simply because she has good breeding, she hadn't left the field before i got her and was still having milk!!!
 
I know I paid over the market value for Donkey, but as I contacted them, they had me over a barrel........ and you know what I would pay it again for her.

Stinkerstonker cost me £1,800 and that was a bargain as far as I was concerned!
 
4.5K for green sturdy 14.2
6k for safe as houses 14.2
7.5K for experienced novice eventer, who is honest but not a novice ride
 
I paid £1800 for my 16.2hh TB (with very good breeding) and we bought him straight out of racing. Before I had him, he had been raced on the flat and hurdles. And had point to pointed in Ireland 3 times and also hunted. Was bought in the region of £20K a year previously so they made a bit of a loss on him when they sold him to me!
 
I paid 1000 for Dom who was just broken to ride and drive they said he was 5 but he was only 3. I turned him away for a year now nearly 3 years on l have a fantastic pony who l wouldn`t sell for anything.
 
I paid £500 for 14.3 heavy cob. one quick try then had to decide as they wanted him gone that day.

Took the chance as he seemed nice and a lovely colour. It paid off he's my baby and could of sold him on many occasion. Sadly for him he's stuck with me.

Hannah was bought for £3,500 as a very green rising 5 year old (although was told she was rising 7

) IDxTB mare. She was unschooled, bargy and bad mannered. She is now an absolute star, competed up to Elementary in dressage and has produced a beautiful foal

Grace is with me to be brought on and sold, but if I buy her now she will be £2,500 to me (the price she was when I took her on). She came to me to be rebacked, schooled and taken out to her first shows. She is now working consistently well, and is ready to affiliate for dressage. She is worth a lot more than when I took her on, and I am hoping to buy her at the end of the loan period.

Troy is homebred so I do not know how much he would be worth on the open market. I have seen a lot of Pro-Set foalies well over the £6000 bracket

but I wouldn't sell him for the world

My 14hh NF was £700 as an 8 yr old. I had backed him as a 7yr old for someone to compete on and do PC with the view she would sell him on. But I fell in love with him, even though he was an awkward g1t that bucked like hell when trying to do flatwork, napped, was a monster with the farrier and oh he's a homaphridite (sp?) which makes him a loon on the spring! But he jumped like a stag and I already knew how to handle him.

I've had him 7 yrs, and at 15 he's finally learnt how to do dressage and we're competing at novice and he's still jumping like a stag (went through a 3ft6 grid this morning - love him!

). I'm hoping to start doing some working hunters with him this year and aim for the NF show next summer

. I think he was worth every penny!
 
Paid €4,000 (about £3000) for Sid as a green (backed & hunted a few times) rising 5yo....turned out he has nice breeding & after I had had him 4 months I was offered €8,000 for him (don't think I would have paid that for him myself to be honest!)
