Tall narrow natives, Arab?

I hate to say this because it would be lovely to follow you with him for a bit longer, but if I had a horse that I was considering selling in the next year I would be putting it on the market now and slightly lean on the pen price-wise. The market is definitely overcooking now and it might well take a plunge in the winter.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Ooof, he's done so little though under saddle... What do you think I could ask? I paid 3.3k inc transport. He's done absolutely nothing in the school but I guess I could shape him up a little over the next month or two, but really he'd just be WTC and popping a small fence? Market may have crashed by then anyway.

Sorry YCBM to hyjak the thread!! It's interesting to see what's happening with the market I didn't realise it was quite so bonkers.
 
Just had a very quick look at horsequest and there's connies further ahead than him for the 6k mark, I reckon I'd struggle to get that kind of money. Plus I bought him to have fun on etc and it was never really about the money.

I reckon a good connie will always make a nice sum even if the market crashes somewhat, I think I'd rather sell him for 4k mid winter than 6k now!

Oh bloody hell I really feel like I should whack a couple of K on Bear and see if I can sell him rather than spend a fortune keeping him all winter. Would pay off a credit card (or two..).

Head vs heart and all that ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

Simples....sell him to @ycbm!! :):)

It's shocking though how mad prices are. I am amazed at how much potentially I could sell my little Welshie for atm. She has probably doubled in price at least, just with really basic work. She's not going anywhere though!! :) :)
 
So, we've sold Bear for Michen and not managed to buy me anything ?

Still negotiating on buying the little mare unseen, I've asked if she is lump free, will load , been measured and given them a price.

The local riding school has offered me a loan for the summer, so that's an option.

If they’re willing to sell unseen, could be an idea to ask them to video her all over getting some close ups of her legs and wherever else? I’ve seen people do this a lot

Well I suppose you bought him to ride, so personally I’d get some shoes on and ride him! Can’t sell him while he is sore barefoot.

What will be, will be.

Shoes are going on tomorrow am!

Nah, I can’t sell the dude yet. The money is so, so tempting but money does not buy you happiness and bringing this horse on does. For now. I’m sure if I wanted to sell him before winter I could still get 4K for him at least.

Still, if he pisses me off at all, at least I know I can shift him ;)

Sorry again to hijak the thread momentarily!

I know you're not a fan of the Faceache but I can make enquiries in a couple of Welsh groups I am in.

I don't want to use faceache myself, but I'm happy to be given contacts off it. Please check my list of criteria up the page though. I am only looking for a stopgap, I have now decided to own an Iberian when I find the right one.

I think if you sold him now you may regret it later. You bought him to ride and bring on during Boggle’s rehab and that hasn’t changed. As much as we’re all rooting for Boggle to come back to full fitness you don’t know for sure if that will be the case. Bear is so nice that if you get him schooling and jumping well in addition to being a lovely hack there will always be a market for him and he will always sell at a good price.
