out of intrest..........

[Malibu]

A how much, i feel i got rupert as a a bargin with regards to money, i got him 3k less than original price!

When i was looking for ahorse, i was looking for an eventer and soemthing i coudl make a profit on and sell on BUT I really have become attached to Rupert and he is too good to be true for me!

anyway

16hh dark brown gelding. 7 year old. Pink papered hanoverinxtb from Germany. His breeding is very good and his conformation is good too.
He has no illnesses or injurys (touch wood) .

64 bd points from only approx 13 tests and is working medium and advanced medium, working on piaffe, canter hp etc. Jumps approx 1.25 cleanly but i think maybe soem more scope for more. Xc machine, very bold and honest. Was told he has potential for top but we shall see!

easy to do and travels, hacks, lunges etc very well, so honest and true friend to me already. good with other horses and will do or try anything to ask of him. also he is snaffle mouthed.

so what do you think?

 

[tanflislibs]

£4500- £5500 sounds nice, good age, height, potential, people pay alot for breeding, got our new forest for 3000 as she can be traced back to 1915

, wanted to get her for 2500 but she is a sweety. rupert sounds devine.

is he the one in the piccy?

 

[TiaPony]

priceless.

[Jellicle]

7-8k

 

[tanflislibs]

my mum says priceless, if he means so much to you then he is worth more than money. i read the post properly and now have descided on £20000-£30000 not exagerating, for a 7 year old he knows so much and he will go far, i hope, if you stick together, it will be with you, he seems an increadible horse, good luck!!!

At 7 and doing all that prob bout 12k Does he have bsja winnings. Did he have full vetting when you got him? Sounds lovely whats more important than how much he's worth is could you afford to replace him with something similar if you sold him? or are you happy bringing on novices

 

[Malibu]

thank you, well i was a little shocked when you said 4500!

i certainly DID NOT spend 20-30k on the horse and i ahve really not dsone muvh in the 3 months i have had him to increase value but hopefully soon.

i though that too, if i were to sell him then he is worth x amount fo money but i dont as he really is lovely a friend so agree with your mother, thanks and yes the dark bay in ym sig.

 

[Malibu]

full 5* vetting with lots of clean x-rays. no bsja winnings although was sj'ed at local unfil shows. i dont think i coudl sell him now, he is worht to much to me now and not just another horse.

 

[tizer]

Good for you, It's really special when you find a lovely genuine horse and 12k would be a bargin, if he is so lovely, clean bill of health performing well in his chossen sphere and potential to do more then he is worth a lot more, so good on you people should be pleased for you, I hope you win lots and continue to enjoy him.

 

[TiaPony]

he sounds wonderful and if hes in yoor siggie, hes gorgeous to boot. i really dont think i cood price him but definitely exceeding £10k. hes a good size, age, breeding is + and best of all, he sounds kind and seems to have a trainable tempremant which is why i woodn't consider selling him shood he belong to me! he sounds so versatile, enjoy him!

[Weezy]

Nice prices being banded around but with no on record jumping results I personally would not pay over 6k for him, but I am not interested in the dressage side of things LOL!!!

 

[severnmiles]

Just out of interest, how can he be Hann x TB and be pink papered?

 

[Malibu]

dont ask me sm

, you knwo me i ahve NO idea of breeding, well not much other that what i ahve been told on here, all i know is his dam is han and sire is full tb and rupert is pink papered and branded.

can horses not be pink papered and x?

 

[severnmiles]

It can be branded with a partbred brand but can't have pink papers

Is he the one in your siggy? If he is, he's very nice!

 

[seabiscuit]

Cannot judge a price until I see him move and jump- have you got a video?!
A lot of horses under professional hands can be trained to do what he is doing at the mo and at his age, but does not necessarily mean that they are great/talented horses.
I am sure that he is lovely though, have you got any more pics or videos of him?

 

[tigers_eye]

He could be if the TB was fully approved into the studbook. It could also be that when you trace his pedigree back he is 50% TB, rather than being by one specific parent. Do you know his sire and dam's names tophorse?

If the TB part was graded into the studbook he should be classed as purebred hann and not a hann x tb. Relli was 3/8ths TB and had AA in there too but was a purebred, pink papered and branded trakehner.

 

[Malibu]

well in advert he was called hanoverian but then i then found out he was tbxhano

his sire is renomee xx (well known german tb) enquired about him and found out few things, http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/renomee2

have mares' pedigree here but not on web.

 

[Malibu]

he is branded full hano i think as has the hano sign as brand. sire is full tb as xx at end and dam is full hano.

 

[Malibu]

tigers-eye, cant get video on web, not sure how to do it but have lots here, pics to come, only time mum takes pics is indoor arena so alwasy crap! arghhhhh, must get more though

 

[lilpete]

I would say about £10000. Dressage horses are going for quite a bit at the moment!

 

[lilpete]

We had a branded pink papered Hann, whos father im sure had alot of TB in him, or was pure TB, cant quite remember.

 

[severnmiles]

He's purebred hanoverian thats all you need to say, every warmblood will have TB/AA or A graded into the studbook to improve type/temp/movement/athleticism e.t.c the hanoverians especially as the traditional hanoverian was a great big strapping almost 'heavy' breed. They were a war horse.

So all you need to say is Hanoverian, if you were to sell him it wouldn't do you any favours advertising him as tb x han.

 

[Malibu]

ok so he is hano not tb? by the way sm, i love that light bay 5th pic in your sig on lunge, he looks lovely!

No such thing as full hanoverian, they all have xx, A or AA in there somewhere! He's a smart boy regardless!

 

[Malibu]

Thanks,

my Italian stallion

I personally from the one pic in your siggy would say 8-10k if he passed a vetting and x-rays!

 

[Malibu]

[severnmiles]

Haha, your mother sounds about as bad at taking piccies as mine, still she gets one good one out of about 40! lol Bless her.

He was only 16.1hh!

 

[Malibu]
