As title really, what do you feel is a reasonable price to pay for a 2/3 year old unbroken registered Connemara with average breeding? In Ireland and UK.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been browsing the fbook pages on connies - prices seem v strong for anything around that age or ready to be backed/lightly backed. Not trying to hijack post but if looking in mainland UK, are there any particular breeders/Studs of note?
I have a Connie cross (no particular breeding) and am converted! Years of IDs to realise all I really wanted was a little Connie!
You also need to check nowadays for Hoof Wall Separation disease as some Connemara lines can carry it.
Quite right Bex25 they should all be tested and recorded.
testing now is very simple and inexpensive.
Because it’s an autosomal recessive trait both parents must be carriers for a foal to show symptoms, and it’s approximately a 1:4 chance of a symptomatic foal from carrier parents.
A carrier n/HS can be bred to a non carrier n/n without the risk of producing an affected foal. So it’s important to know the status of both parents.
