Overpriced or right for the current market?

I don't see a problem with that price. He is a nice height, age, done a bit and good mannered etc. I think he is quite a popular type for many people.

I think that's a good price and these types of horses are hard to find. I sold my 5 year old of similar type last month for more than that.

Not the best pictures for showing him off, so it's hard to tell. From the sounds of things though he seems a nice sort with a trainable attitude, and has potential- based on that I would put his price right.

Again without seeing proper pictures/ videos, I'm just going by what I'm reading.

Looks a nice sort but I agree the pictures don't have the wow factor. Plus I like a horse that can jump, if he can then why no pictures? I paid £4k for a 7yo in the summer, ID great all rounder but still green on the flat... I would say £3.5k is ok

Good Price for a great sounding and looking horse, if it is you selling then get some great photo's. if you are looking to buy then it's worth a visit!

Sorry I'm not selling him, I wish!
A friend wants to go view him and asked what I thought but I'm not the best judge for such things.
He hasn't jumped since the current owner bought him as she doesn't like jumping but he was jumping prior to her ownership and she has said with some clinics or lessons he should be no problem to start back into jumping. That was what my friend was told, which is good and honest I feel.

Well, I wouldn't pay that for him, but then I'm not looking. You'd have to go look to find out if he's worth that TO YOU, but it's not a huge amount of money in any case. You could buy 5 like that over here for that amount at the moment...........

Nice horse. Shouldn't have a problem selling if he's as she says he is. Could have had better photo's though. If I was in the market for a new horse, I'd give him a look today, not tomorrow.

I would not buy that type of horse but a sound well behaved five yo doing a good prelim test and jumping confidently good to handle and hack out will fetch that price I would think.

Couldn't help noticing he has his ears back in the 2nd photo, despite the comment. I get that they are not 'back' in the sense of being miserable but still, slightly unfortunate combo of pic and description!

I think he's very nice.

And I haven't bought a horse for a few years, but that's the sort of price you'd expect to pay for that sort of horse in my experience.

I like him a lot actually. For Britain I would say he is reasonably priced but if you went to Ireland he would be 10x too much.
