ooooooooh - I am going to be looking for a project in the next few months and really like her...Just down the road from me to.....!
General question; In terms of re-sale,would people not be put off by the fact that she had had a foal?
And hypothetically, what do people think she would be worth at the end of the summer - fit and having done some unaffiliated? £4,500...

Good luck and I'm v. jealous!
No I don't think anyone would be put off by them having a foal, I actually think it does them good!!
I bought mine at 6 yrs and she has already had a foal, and I think you would be right looking at about 4500.

the foal thing really does not put me off, she looks a nice mare, and has a nice build, so no it does not put me off, and it shouldnt anyone else.
Not sure if i would buy her to re-sell at the moment, i quite like the look of her to keep!

Breeding a good colt adds value.
Why on earth would anyone be put off by that, unless she was put in foal to recover from injury? Even then, it wouldn't be a ligament issue because generally they're unable to support the foal's weight.
She looks very like my mare - love her type. Go look, she looks a love.

"Why on earth would anyone be put off by that"
Some people are - personally I would not be keen on buying a mare that had had a foal as it would mean that she hah had a substantial period out of work and I have no interest in breeding.
Its not a critisism, it was a genuine question. I do know of other people that would be put off as well but as you say, it may be a plus for others.

I would want to speak to the previous owner who did stuff with her...why was she sold? Why was her career stopped and she was bred from? ETC. I think she actually looks smashing and I would certainly take a punt on her if the previous owner chat went well
