i have an idea of a price but am pretty useless at these things really lol!!!
 
I suppose it depends on how much you want it? The two problems though that you mention are not good ones to have. What happens if she ever needs box rest?. Hacking is an integral part of getting a horse fit so not being good in traffic is a probblem.......I suppose £1.5 maximum. At 15h2 she's a bit small & I wouldn't be interested in her at that size & with those hang ups

Well, if you're not bothered about hacking out - and she's a good little competition horse, and nicely put together then I suppose you could ask what you like.

We have a horse on my yard that won't stay in on her own - it's not big deal, and she just has something else in to keep her company if the need arrises.
 
Hello

Wouldnt even look at it - there is traffic at shows - what if she started at a show - plus she is strong ? How could you hold her back?

If you have an accident with some kind of traffic - your 100% to be badly hurt or get killed.

Steer clear - you can get good horses for 2000.

:-)
 
i should prob mentin..she is funny round traffic at home but when you get her to a show she dont bat an eyelid at them wot so ever (i have no idea why). and something else i should of put to make it clearer is she CAN be strong but its whilst shes jumping
 
depends how bad in traffic is bad in traffic though. If she can compete to a highish standard then it will effect her value but not too too much i wouldnt think, but i am rubbish at this kind of thing! considering shes 11 as well it looks as though the problem with traffic is goin to be well engrained. But saying that there is a gelding at my yard who is terrified of anything bigger than a 4x4 but is an excellent little horse, BSJAed out of Discovery but not moving on to foxhunter (due to rider) and does very well at working hunter etc, 8yrs old and theyd want £12000 for him.

Id say £2500 as traffic thing poses a problem but the strong when jumping thing doesnt really bother me. Remember that she may well be very difficult to sell on though!
