Price my pony

[Melody Grey]

Our pony is rapidly becoming outgrown and wondered if you lovely lot would give me some idea on price? It’s years since I’ve sold a horse, and never a kids pony before!

12hh approx (will measure!)
15yrs old Welsh A x B on green passport, gelding, fine build and from showing lines, though not a top class show prospect.
Good to handle by children, easy to do, a good egg generally!
Great on the lead rein and ride and lead, good in traffic, loads, travels. Never sick or sorry. Same home 7 years.

Has taken my son off the lead rein, though is quite forward (though kind!) so perhaps more of a 1.5 type pony?

Limited mileage- we haven’t done shows or pony club, so he’s inexperienced there, we have mainly just hacked….so older and sensible, but wouldn’t be a school master.

Ideas?! Thanks

I feel as those pony prices are wildly differing at the moment so I think it's quite hard to price these days! If he hacks quietly but hasn't been out and about then I would expect around the £3500 mark. I would be interested to see what everyone else thinks though!

Yes, I’ve seen some crazy prices. The right buyer is obviously my priority, but I want to get a reasonable idea!

Keep him & break him to drive!

Would love to! It’s going to be heartbreaking to see him go, but I’m on livery and times are tougher than I’d like. My other two are quirky/ broken so it seems like the obvious choice to sell with him becoming outgrown

At least 5k! Pony prices are nuts! We’d be interested if he was a hand bigger! We are looking for 13/13.2hh for a 1.5 pony and are expecting to pay around 8k for something that has done a fair bit of PC, if it was very good at it then well over 10k but we don’t need anything flashy! 5k for yours x

Is it worth getting him out to some shows and rallies? It would increase his price hugely and if he's fairly sensible then there's a good chance he wouldn't be bothered by it. Has he done anything before you got him?

Lack of time and rider now being a bit on the big side probably prohibit getting him out and about, though I had considered it.

LR only is currently selling at about £1.5k - more if successful competitively. I saw one that had been out and about with pics of rosettes etc for £2.5k when looking at prices the other week. I have seen lots start higher this autumn/winter and drop to about £1.5k before selling.

I’m going to say 2-2.5k max and I have done a lot of pony hunting for 1st/2nd ponies over the last few years. To explain why I don’t think he’s worth more - he’s older, he hasn’t got experience of shows / PC and he sounds like he’s going to be too forward off the lead for most beginner children.

if you can get him out doing a bit then that will increase the price.

If a good home is a genuine concern then I would be advertising now for 1.75 or max 2. If you can do a bit and wait until Easter then 2.5.

Yes, no huge rush to sell. I could do with him losing his winter coat for some reasonable photos too!! he’s definitely not worth much as a muddy yak!
