Just being nosy, but how much would you value a registered NF dressage pony, winning at Elementary aff, with scope to go higher and a reasonable straight forward ride for a fit comp pony. It is a mare and lets say around 8 years.

I think that this pony would be worth an awful lot as good ponies seem to be pricey but what do you think?
 
Umm i'd say around £15-£20K, depending on whether it has decent breeding, qualifications/previous regional/national success, how flashy its paces are etc probably a bit more!
How big is she?
 
You've been spending too much time with Andrew!!!!

id say 10k - 15k at the most. If its been to the regionals/nationals at elementary then the top end. It depends whether its going to go any higher aswell - what its changes are like, halfpass, shoulder in etc.
 
We sold my FEI dressage pony (mare - at 11 years old) for 12,000. She had competed in Holland and at the nationals - summers and winters at elementary open and medium restricted, so depending on whether the poteinal is to be a european FEI dressage pony you wont get mega bucks. Probs about 10,000 to 12,000.

Gosh I am surprised, I was under the impression good ponies sold for lots of money. Considering a half decent PC level NF goes for over £4k, that is not much more.

Now that's what I would have said, but looking at the other post I guess I'm way off!

Gosh, at work we sold a 5 yr od 14.2h gelding for just under £20k last year, and he'd competed once at ele level i think!
He is gorgeous but a cheeky little s*d!!
 
I suppose it depends on when you sell and if the perfect buyer comes along. We sold my pony very quickly and to a lovely home.
 
dressage u21s website does seem a good place to sell dressage ponies.

We took a long time to sell an elementary pony, Not sure that you should be looking outside the £7K - £10K bracket.

When you say winning Elementary, do you mean on a qualifying score?

Percentages at Premier League Pony classes will be of more interest, and if the pony has scope, that is the shop window I would recommend (and not just because we have one in April!)
