ok..another "how much"?

[BroadfordQueen]

i have asked this before but this was quite along time ago and i have totally forgot what you said!

and we are selling at about christmas time so would like your opinions please:

full up 14.2hh grey gelding, 4-5 years, irish connemara x ID.
has BSJA winnings, qualified 2nd round BN, placed affilliated every time out. jumping approx 3"6ft showjump rounds (with 3"9ft jump offs) clear.
eventing 3ft with PC, scope to go higher, ALWAYS clear cross country. absalute sweetheart, no vices at all, 101% box, shoe, clip, traffic etc.
hunted, clean limbed but went lame a few months ago and has only been in work for the last 3 weeks but going well and is now 101% sound again, have jumped him at home and got a show planned for tomorrow- hoping to qualify dengie before time of selling and do some hunter trials and dressage lessons.
would be an amazing confidence giver to ANY level rider, or go to the very top with experienced rider.
pics in my sig (the grey).

sorry about the very long "advert", but how much do you think we should try selling him for? we havent done any BE and we arent planning to as too expensive

thanks for the help!

I'm no expert but I'd say £3500 or more. sorry if totally wrong

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Hmm its a difficult one as i only ever deal with horses so not good at pricing ponies, id say about £3500/£4000

 

[BroadfordQueen]

ooo, not really what i had hoped to hear as we paid that much for him as a 3 year old who had done nothing!

but when we went to try him out he was safe and genuine and that was the main thing we wanted so we bit the bullet.

 

[welshpony]

I'd say around 5k, he's obviously got the capability to do affiliated jumping - 14.2hh BSJA ponies sell for a lot.

 

[Bri]

I'd say about 5-6k.
He's probably worth about 3.5/4 but the way horse prices are these days you should get a fair bit more!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

he does do affiliated showjumping british novice and newcomers, just not eventing as it costs a bomb!

 

[welshpony]

Ah, didn't read that bit lol. In that case probably 5.5-6.5k.

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Oh maybe a bit more then, like i said im not good at pricing ponies. If it was a horse i'd price it at between £6000 and £7000 so maybe between £5000 and £6000 then

 

[BroadfordQueen]

we already have 3 people from my pony club interested so he shouldnt be too hard to sell

just checked on the BSJA site, he has £42 notional winnings on his card.

 

[Bri]

Can't believe your selling him!!
What's happening with Harry?

 

[BroadfordQueen]

selling him too

only have until christmas on ponies in BSJA as my 16th birthday is in the wrong calender year (

) so i miss out a whole year as a junior!

so am getting a horse at the beginnning of next year.

 

[Bri]

OOoo how exciting - although obviously sad to see them both go.
Have you started looking at horses yet?

 

[Marbs]

I'd say around 5k (although the time of year might make it harder to sell at price) as sounds like the perfect kids pony.

 

[BroadfordQueen]

only browsing to see what sort of horses are up on the market and how much they are going for. still undecided as to whether i should buy a youngster (again!) and bring it on, or buy a "ready made" horse to BE/PC opens on!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

Awww thats sad that you have to sell him Soph

But i'm sure he'll go to another lovely home and have as much fun

You must be exited for getting a new horse

What sort are you looking for?

 

[Bri]

I've got a lovely coloured mare if you're interested

 

[BroadfordQueen]

yep he is a perfect kids pony- will follow you round the fields and come trotting over to you when you go out in the field to see him. he lets you spend hours giving him fuss, he loves it!

my ex boyfriend (who had NEVER sat on a horse before!) even got on him and plodded round the field!!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

If I had the money i'd buy Eddie!

I looove him!

 

[Marbs]

Aww bless he sounds like a Marbles when I had her..and I even got my Mum on her!

Good luck with selling - can't imagine it should be too hard for one like him.

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Awww hes lovely i'd say about £5000 if your not inc any tack etc. Bet your excited about getting a horsey! I just got my horse, ID/TB hes green to the extrem (unhandled) so i would say get a ready made horse!! Good Luck

 

[kirstyfk]

would he do BE novices -FEI pony trials, if he did then i'm sure you could get a really good price i would say about £6000/£6500

 

[x_Hannah_x]

A bit confused here.. you say he has scope to go higher, yet looking back at your old posts you always used to say that he cant really go high enough and hes kinda at his limit with you..

?

 

[MillionDollar]

£7,000 maybe more. 14.2 jumping ponies are VERY sort after!!! Especially something like him. We were looking for a 14.2 a few years ago and couldnt find anything under £3,500 and the cheapest ones hadnt even competed BSJA. Dont start cheap- you can always go down, but you can never go up!

 

[Skhosu]

Market is slow. If he had pre-noviced you could ask 8-10K
I would be a bit concerned about him doing a lot as a youngster, has he got potential to do any more? If not...3-4K
If yes, could ask 5-6K.
There's not a huge market for showjumping ponies at high prices (over here anyway!)) unless they're grade b+
Why was he lame?
Sounds like a lovely pony though!

Precisely why I'm confused!!

As he stands, if he'll pass a 5 stage vetting then prob about 4-4.5k
