I dont know what the current market is TBH, but as a reference i paid £3400 for my girl as a yearling (3 years ago), by Brandus 345 out of a STER mare by Jakob 302. Not FPS registered at the time i bought her, no passport or papers and not vaccinated. Friendly but not overly handled (didnt know about lifting feet or walking in hand really), but had a wonderful temperment, willing attitude, nice conformation and really good movement.

As yours has already been registered and passported that will save the new owners about £200 (i think i paid that, possibly a little bit more, cant remember exactly!) and is vaccinated, graded etc etc so i think you could reasonably expect about £3500 given that the economic climate is somewhat worse than it was when i bought my mare!

I think colts tend to go for a little bit less?? Thats generally what i've noticed. So maybe about £3000 for him?

Im not really sure but hopefully this will have bumped it up for those who are currently buying and selling and have more of an idea

Fillies do tend to go for more in the friesian world, what is her mother line like? Lots of sters? A few yrs ago I would have said £4k but in the current climate I'm not sure how much friesians have lost their value. I would try £3500 and see what happens.

As for the colt a little less but dont geld him. Leave that for ppl to decide, someone may want to breed from him. A while ago I posted that I couldnt sell my dartmoor colt. Ppl sreamed at me to have him cut. I didnt (thank-fully) as the person who did buy him wanted him entire to breed from.

In their favour though they are registered and you see alot of **** examples (un-registered) being sold at silly prices but then on another hand my friend has just bought a WB foal from exceptional lines for £3k.

If you do want to get rid of them cheaply though, let me know Lol!
