Sorry another 'how much'

[wildriding1]

I have 2 cobs, both homebred, one is a gelding rising three, stands at 13.2h, the other a mare rising 4, standing near 15h.
The gelding is chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, 4 white socks/stockings and a white face/broad blaze. The mare is chestnut with 2 white socks and a blaze.
Both part bred Welsh cobs out of a coloured cob mare. They are full brother and sister.
They are both backed and hacking out in company, the mare will go on short hacks alone, proving to be very sane and sensible. The mare is a little steadie than the gelding, but they are both little stars and certainly not like youngsters!
They have both been lightly but successfully shown as foals and yearlings, they are very well handled, well mannered and have the most wonderfull loving temperaments.
Need them to go on and do something now, they really love hacking out but we just don't have enough hours in the day!Don't know how much to advertise them for.
They MUST go to kind loving homes, but I'm not going to 'give' them away.
Any ideas will be gratefully received.
Thanks guys

Probably way off mark but £1000-£1500 each???

They sound like two nice youngsters and I think you should easily be able to find them good homes, if they are nice mannered and easy going.

Now.. sorry to tell you this, but personally I would not even call up about a pony that was hacking out when it was only rising 3. Maybe I have misunderstood what you were writing, but if I read about a 2 year old pony that goes out hacking I would question how serious the seller was. Other people may have different opinions though.

In the current market there seem to be plenty of ponies advertised for not much. I did a quick search on horsemart and found 113 ponies between 12-14 hands advertised for less than 1000.
On this basis, if I were to guess, perhaps 750 ish for the 13.2 gelding, and around 1000-1500 for the mare? Sorry if that seems low.

If the mare has good breeding that could add to her value. Also, if you can take her out to a few ridden shows or pleasure rides in late spring/summer that may help as well. Another thing which could be a plus would be if they seem to have a good (lose) jump or were good competition prospects.

Good luck!
