Oh they were, I am so glad I read your post otherwise I would never have known how to put them up. I have pinched them, (but kept a record of where they were) in the hope that one day, (I could as it turns out this day) go back & nab them! I dont think this post makes much sense, perhaps its time for my bed!! http://www.smilies.smileyville.net/smiley.php?category=animals
Im always keeping a look out for youngsters (but not in the market at the moment!)
So from what I have seen, eventing youngstock start at about £2500 for a foal and dont seem to increase much until they are backed. Unless they are by Primitive Rising or Jumbo where people are asking £3500-4500 on their breeding (as a foal/youngster).
Dressage youngsters are starting at £4k - 6K (depending on breeding) for a foal and seem to increase more during the next 3 years but again not a huge amount. Unless they are by/out of a very well known stallion/mare and then they are serious money!.
I dont know about SJ particularly as I dont SJ!
So if your stallion/mare has produced other competitive animals it would really be worth stating that in your ad. I know I would be looking for that sort of info and it would sway me to come and look if I wasnt sure!
I cant give a value for your colt but starting price as a guide would be £2500 (absolute lowest £2000) and I think he would sell if his movement is good. If he is better than average then add more to the price.
I think professionals may have different opinions but for average Joe Bloggs like me this is prob a good guide for you!
Ooooh - I'm joining in! Am thinking of sending Tobago to AP and Mat to be collected for US/Worldwide frozen semen (he's only available in UK/Europe atm) and dressage-trained at the same time! Sorry Mat this may be news to you
- AP has been singing your praises in PMs and I'm very tempted, so you may end up with a baby Arab to train and compete!
he has such a pretty face!!!!i would say around 2500+.
not really into the eventing but as mum and dad have performed and if he moves well, i would prob say 3kplus.

HG has had a busy day! She was mucking out!! No sleeping in here! Had to get all the neddies done and have been down to Somerset to pick up my new broodmare, she is gorgeous!
Talking of budding young riders, I know a certain young lady who competed in the u16's at scope and was very unlucky to have missed out on the championship qualifier by just two places on her 1st horse that she's only had out to 4 shows.............
HG also has the monopoly on her, and her mother, actually HG - now I come to think of it.......... I think you're just plain greedy!
HG that is your excuse........you really were snoring like a drunken man.....go on admit it...........LOL...............you just cannot handle late nights can you........he he he he
Mat........of course you can stretch to Scotland........................anyway why do you need to stretch when you know you realllllllllyyyyyyyy want to come and stay..........
Dont listen to HG or Htobago......................they can travel up and stable with us....
Now a man saying that there is enough of him to go round all the girlies...............there is an offer you dont get daily...................
mat - I am well thank you! I think Anastasia must still be locked up in the loony bin tho, she has been very quiet this evening! I think Anastasia should move south don't you?? Otherwise this will be the new look mat, if you have to commute between Gloucestershire and Scotland

Could you imagine the riot of everyone living together, we could make a fortune if we set up cameras, it would bound to be picked up for TV, although I think there would be alot of censorship! ha ha ha!
I remmember that song Anastasia, unfortunately the only version I can remember is the Timmy Mallet version from Wackaday when I was a weeeeeeeeeeee nipper................ ROTFL!
