would you expect to pay for a 10 -12 year old mare 15.2 good to do in all ways. fab jump both showjumping and cross country, lovely straight paces would make a nice working hunter , competed at Riding Club level.
ok well they are asking about £8k for her and she is ridden in a pelham, no vices, 100% on the roads, good to do. would make a potential eventer probably up to Novice -
£8000 is a lot as only seems to have done Riding Club.
Don't think the potential to do Novice Eventing would put the price up as she hasn't a record of any eventing. If she had a good records at Intro or PN then it would be different.
However, if she is the one for you and you don't mind paying this sort of money then??
Pelham would reduce it; snaffle mouth would raise it.
And by the time they are 10 - 12 'potential' no longer cuts much ice with me!
I'm mean and cynical!

Wouldn't pay more than 4k because of the age however if she's right for you then go for it, especially if your looking for something to keep for life, only effects re-sale value as they get older. Have to say though you could get a lot for 8k elsewhere
