I have been asked to help sell this pony and wondered how much we should be asking for her.

she is a 5yo New Forest mare (registered) and is around 14hh (no measuring stick so can't be certain). She is good to do in all ways and I am taking her cubbing tomorrow and she will be going to a couple of parties soon but hasn't been anywhere yet to my knowledge.

And which of these photos do you think are best. Sorry lots

I personally like the last one and the first jumping picture.
She doens't look too happy in the water pictures, the other jumping one is blurred and I don't really think much to the flat work pictures, but the second one is the best out of the two.
I would also not have the date on the pictures (persuming your camera reset and put this date on it) and have a good conformation shot of her and possibly a nice headshot if you have room.
 
I like the first, third and last ones.

A friend has just sold a 4 year old NF gelding, 14hh and only recently backed and schooled so still quite green but as kind and easy as you can get, for the full asking price of £2000. She only put him up for sale last Wednesday, the people phoned straight away, came on Thursday to see him and picked him up on Saturday. . . . so who says ponies aren't selling! Given that your NF is older and has done more, I'd say £3k-ish . . . . .
 
I like the 3rd photo. Need a side-on confirmation shot and either a headshot or ridden (in trot tends to come up best - you want it as /\/\) which shows her working well.

I'd say about £2800
 
I would value her at around £1800 but that seems a lot lower than others are suggesting.
She wouldnt show as a NF and she's still young and green for a child which does de-value her slightly
 
I like the 3rd photo as she is making a really nice shape over the fence whih anyone who is wanting to jump will look for and maybe the water photo to show she could do pony club xc. I wouldn't put any of the schooling pics as compared to other show type ponies she might look a bit 'stuffy' in the sense she hasn't got extravagent paces (and therefore probably won't deck you for no reason

Don't know much about pony prices but if she's good to do and turns her hand to anything I don't see why she wouldn't fetch upward of £2k
 
i prefer the second flatwork and the log jumping piccy - she is tucking up much nicer in that one - haven't a clue with prices in today's market....
 
Interesting! Why wouldn't she "show as an NF"? She's registered apparently. I would have agreed with you re the price if my friend hadn't sold her very green gelding so easily last week for more (and they didn't even offer less) . . . . .
 
all sounds good, thanks for the advice I know the photos aren't great but I'm sure you all know how hard it is to get the OH to take decent ones

BTW she went cubbing today and was a absolute dream, a lot of the field were asking if they could swap!
