One more...How much would YOU pay to buy your horse Now?

[Blizzard]

So we have had what is your horse worth on the market realistically, and what you paid for them.

So wondering what you would pay if you bought your horse now?


I said I think Beau is worth 5k and Lance 4k (maximum!), based on the fact they are totally safe and anyones ride, and Lance's experience, and what Ive been offered and what Ive seen.


I paid £1300 for Beau and nothing for Lance.


To buy them NOW, well I would be prepared to pay £3000 for Beau, and £1500 for Lance....I am tight!

LOL! I didnt think to add that!

Of course, presuming you would still buy your horse!

 

[madhector]

I would LOL

Would pay up to £3500 for him (if I had the money) as think that is a fair price. Actually if I had the money would probably pay 4K for him as he has that jump.....

 

[Stoxx]

As much as I love him and I have learnt so much from him over the years, I wouldn't buy Osc again. But that is because I now know what I want to do and he isn't the horse to do it on!

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

sniff 15k
corky - (worthless as retired with navicular) but 10k if sound
robbie - 7k ish as he is always improving

im basing these on if i brought them from the same people again as the top 2 came from proffesional homes

 

[JJ2]

I would probably pay around £600-£800 but only because she is not 100% sound on her legs and also she is nearly 21yrs!! But perfect in my eyes and yes i would still buy her!

 

[JenHunt]

i gues i'd pay around 4000 for him really if i was buying him now... but then i know how much work i've put in and how much there is left to do!

 

[vicm2509]

I think I would pay about 4k for Baron. He has come on so much since I bought him and is working at a higher level in Dressage and SJ but I have found out he will not hack alone which would put me off (the were no safe places to try and hack him when I tried him out). 4k is a little more than I got him for. As a dressage horse my instructor said he is worth alot more than that, but I simply would not pay more.

 

[MagicMelon]

Worth-wise, god I dont know! I hate to think what my grey is worth as he's competing successfully BE Novice and BSJA 1.20m, plus he's a total sweetheart temperament-wise! If I were to buy him now, I probably couldn't afford him as I refuse to pay more than £3500 for any horse Ive had!

If I were to value Shadow, Id probably ask minimum £4000 because although he's not at a high level in anything - he's got such presence. I think some people pay a lot for that! And he's so safe yet fun. Id pay £3000 for him I think (again, Im tight!).

My 2 old ponies wouldn't be valued at anything! Both have had laminitis, one is 17, the other 20. I wouldn't sell them. I wouldn't buy them at their age either!

 

[ecrozier]

Hmmm, tricky. If my lad wasn't an arab, but still did everything he does (happy at novice dressage, schooling over 1m, geat to hack, easy to do) around here I don't think I could replace him for less than £4k judging by what people I know are paying for similar! However as an allrounder, the fact that he is an arab, I think, makes him less saleable as people presume they are 'silly' or that they can't jump! So not sure what he is worth really!

 

[WishfulThinker]

I wont say how much I paid, but I would pay about hmm, 1500 maybe. I'm probably mad though! Although - if he had been properly measured when I went to get him he would have been out of my price range as they would have branded him as a COB.

 

[rara007]

Pip- Probably way too high, got him free but we really bond and I hope to take him to the top.

 

[wizzi901]

my old one is priceless, if I was to buy the one I have on loan, it would be less than he was advertised for not that I could even afford that lol! but he does have some work to do yet!!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

I wouldnt have a clue as to what I would ask for Missy, saying that I wouldnt pay what I think I could ask for her at this minute and time .

With Tommy I bought him for £400 which was an absolute bargain , hes now worth in the region of £2000 - £2500 ... hes a one in a million pony , wouldnt sell him now .

 

[tabithakat64]

Paid £1350 for Fudge he'd be worth £2000 to £3500 to replace. I got Lady for nothing (she's a rescue), I wouldn't replace her as she is really too small but for something her size etc I'd pay £800 -£1200. If I was looking to replace her with something exactly the same only 15hh I'd be paying up to £4000

 

[malibu211211]

D, probably upto £1000

I don't know why as he is an ungrateful thug but I love him

Monty, I would'nt buy him unless he was clean in his stable and a DARK colour

 

[Gorgeous George]

I bought George for £4250 and people told me I paid to much for him, well he may not be the most wonderfully schooled horse but he has turned out to be an absolute gem, I would pay more for him now I know what he's like - but i'm biased and don't really know what he's worth.
