How much would you pay?

[Dumbo]

For a 3yo unbroken gelding, breeding unknown but guessing tb x. Had an eye removed but doesn't bother him. I think he's over priced so interested to know what you'd all pay.

 

[Thistle]

no more than meat value

 

[FairyLights]

Is he well handled? will he lead, tie up, load, good in stable,go walks,wear a rug? Has he been vaccinated and regularly wormed?

 

[carthorse]

£500

 

[Littlelegs]

Only meat value.

 

[StormyMoments]

probably £200 but thats because i bought a 3 year old unbroken but had started lunging tb x that passed vetting and came with rugs and bridle and was well handled for £350 so i wouldnt pay more for a horse with one eye... even if it didnt bother them

im a scrouge though and got £250 off that horses original price

 

[Dumbo]

Well handled, wormed, vaccs etc, all up to date. He's ridiculously over priced then!

 

[Sparkles]

Practically - £200, if he was a nice sort.

 

[Crumpet]

I'd be wanting as cheap as possible, certainly no more than meat money. I'd also be interested why his eye has been removed, just in case of uveitis.

 

[Mongoose11]

300? Why do you want him? If you have fallen for him then pay what YOU want to pay!

 

[Goldenstar]

How did he lose the eye ? if it was uveitis I would not take him even with a large cash payment.

 

[Archangel]

£300 I'm afraid.

 

[FairyLights]

Seeing ashe'swell handled vaccinated etcthen I think £300 - £400.

 

[cptrayes]

I would have to be paid to take him on, sorry

 

[Elsiecat]

250 maximum on the basis he's a nice sort. Possibly 300/350. But for 350 I'd want him to pee glitter.

Just found out it was uveitis but eye is completely removed. Will this be a huge problem?
Think i'm going to have to walk away. He's gorgeous and seems ideal but way too overpriced

 

[Crumpet]

I'm sorry to hear that he's had uveitis, I'd just walk away as its a huge risk that his ther eye could develop the same problems, plus he'd be uninsurable for eye problems too.

Because if they have had uveitis in one eye its got a high chance of occurring in the other I lost a horse ( well I had him PTS as the treatment was distressing and he was becoming vicious he could not come out of his darkened stable and was beyond unhappy ) its very very sad but please please find another horse poor boy.
No amount of cash given to me would ever induce me to chance going though that again.

 

[3Beasties]

Ditto cptrayes, you couldn't pay me to take him.

 

[Grinchmass]

Personally I wouldn't take him on if he was free.

There's a risk it could turn up in the other eye, which wouldn't be covered by insurance, this coud be costly, and could also lead to a lot of heartache.
