I thought I would ask some advice. I have a horse advertised, I will keep it very general about her as I don't want the thread to be pulled as I just need to know what people's thoughts are.
The horse is very smart, but small ish at 15.1 or 2 and she is rather forward going and buzzy. She isn't naughty, but she is young and a bit jazzy, plus she is ginger and so I found it hard to put a price on her.
I figured if she was slightly quieter to ride she would be worth around the £4000 mark, so I took £1000 off and thought I would get lots of interest. Wrong.
Now a few friends that have seen the advert have mentioned that they thought she was under priced for the pics and stuff the horse has done and people would have looked at the quality of the horse and at the price and thought she must have been a nightmare as she should be lots more.
Now I'm stumped, if I advertise her for less then people will presume the same again, and although I want to sell her as I have 6 to ride now, I want it to be the right home. I thought I had priced her realistically to sell her but it seems not.
Has anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks in advance
