What was the market like?

I assume you mean a horse rather than 'some things'?! I've bought lots of things lately, but not one of those was a horse

 

[HorsesHavingFun]

Same as NativePonyLover, I've bought quite a few things but not a horse

Not personally, but had one client buy a new pony in Jan and about to go shopping again with another in the next month.

I've just sold - had to drop price A LOT & it took a while but he went eventually.

Am now looking though (for a youngish sj prospect) & can find ****** all except a lot of home breds that have done nothing at all with ridiculous asking prices!! (Or tons of stuff a million mikes away!)

I have brought two so far this year - not with the intention to sell but for reasons such as being too small (hash tag pony squashing) they have had to go to new homes.

Both lovely sorts, a Fjord x and a petite Welsh D, brought for 500 each and sold for 1300 and 800 respectively, within 3-4 weeks of purchase (after some work).

Depends really on which part of the market you're looking at. Stuff like first riddens & schoolmaster types go easily. But at least till a week or two ago, unless you're talking ones with really good breeding, nice youngsters, green ponies, basically anything needing a bit of work is still dirt cheap. They'll go up slightly soon though when people start looking for this season, & people aren't having to factor in wet fields, no grass & paying for loads of forage.
