The pricing would differ greatly from where I am to where you are, but I know several factors influence the price of minis here so perhaps there as well.
Does he have papers? What are his bloodlines? Are his markings unusual or desireable? Is he easy to handle and friendly?

38 inches is getting fairly big for a mini so that could influence as well.

Perhaps if you put up a pic and ans the above mentioned details someone could be of better help.

They range in price here anywhere from $100 to $3,000
The ones without papers usually go for under $500

It would also depend on type? Minature/standard shetty, or minature horse?

He is quite big, so not sure about who might have him as a stally?

Mini shetlands are averaging £700-1000 for a normal 1
less for unreg
Shetlands, which he is the height for around £500-1000(broken) again less for unreg or unbroken
Mini horses 1000-1500 for "Potential", doesnt matter about reg.

All depends on where you live, I was at York horse sales a couple of months ago and one was withdrawn when it didnt reach £600 OH said lets get ours down here quick as we got them for nothing

I think miniature Shetlands have to be less than 32" to be registered as mini.....not sure whether yours is a Shettie though, can they be spottie??

If you live in an area where there's lots of mini showing classes you'd probably get more than places that there aren't. Not much help, sorry!

 

[varkie]

The maximum height for a miniature shetland is 34", and they can be any colour except spotted - so this pony couldn't even be considered as an unregistered one on either height or colour.

Hard to say what he's worth without seeing a picture. To know if he's any good as a stallion tho, look at him & imagine he was a plain bay - would you still think he was a stallion prospect? Colour alone isn't a good enough reason.

 

[JadeWisc]

Not to contradict you, but I always thought a miniature could be any color including spotted.

I thought perhaps the rules were different for the UK until I came across this site

They specialize in breeding spotted minis??????

[varkie]

It may be a spotted miniature horse or pony, but it cannot be a spotted miniature shetland pony - there is no such thing, and the Society rules state very clearly that spots are not permitted.

interesting. I have learned something

Agree with Varkie, you are not allowed to even say the word spotted withing a radius of 10 mikles of the Shetland pony Stud book HQ!

Mini horse rules are slightly different to the Shetland pony rules.

Go onto www.miniaturehorsetalk.com and PM a user called Rabbitsfizz. She is in the UK and breeds both Shetlands and Mini horses. She will fill you in all all the details and contacts.

Also Halstock and Blackator studs in the south of England have a few spotteds and might be some help.

But don't ever say the word Shetland and spotted in the same sentence............
