I was thinking to myself about all the 'how much should I ask for my horse' posts we have on here, the current state of the market, and the varying answers to posts. That good old adage 'a horse is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it' is very true, but what does determine the price we set as sellers, and how close could you get to accurately guessing/pricing a horse from its advert?
So I thought we could have a little fun, I have found three adverts online, I have posted the pictures and descriptions from the adverts but not the price the horse is for sale at... can you price these horses? As I said, this is a game so google search on these horses is not allowed:

Milo is a quality pony with stunning looks, good conformation, 3 super paces, a natural technique over any fence, with a powerful and scopey jump. He also has an amazing presence about him. He has competed in numerous unaffiliated and affiliated jumping classes, he is BSJA registered. Has won many WHP Championships all with a young girl. However his real talent is eventing He is currently being produced and competed by Georgie Spence, down in Wiltshire. In his first season eventing, he has competed in 2 BE90 classes, both double clear, with dressage scores of 27.5 and 27, finishing 7th and 1st. Finished 1st at BE100 at Aston-le-walls with a dressage score of 32.5, jumping double clear Finished 2nd at BE100 at Tweseldown with a dressage score of 35, jumping double clear. Finished 6th at BE100 at Stoner School with a dressage score of 32, jumping double clear. Always producing a consistent dressage score, and jumping double clears. In very few outings he has gained 39 foundation points. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a quality pony that possesses exceptional talent and has real Team potential. He is a true competition pony who needs a competent rider to bring out the best in him. He has never been lame, sick or sorry, is easy to do in all ways. 100% shoe, box, clip etc Genuine reason for sale as daughter now 16 and out of ponies. Can be seen and tried at Georgie Spence's yard in Wiltshire.

Pink papered, branded, Oldenberg, Dark Bay, Mare, 7 years, 16 hands
Fantastically well bred and put together pretty mare with superb movement. Light, responsive, forward going, snaffle ride but can be spooky, needs a confident experienced rider. Lateral movements established. She is good to shoe, load, hack, clip, worm and with vet and farrier etc..
Only selling due to starting up my own company and getting married hence why she has been turned away for the last few month?s as I do not have time to do this lovely mare justice.
Due to her breeding she would make an exceptional broodmare or a fantastic dressage prospect in capable hands.
I have owned her from a foal and this is a devastating sale for me. Five star home is sought for Milli , open to any vet, all jabs up to date.

Stunning 16hh 7 year old liver chestnut gelding by Zaha. Ideal as a happy hacker/ low level riding club activities. Has competed prelim and novice level unaffliated dressage scoring 60% each time, been to local shows competing in ROR classes being placed in the top 3 and cross country schooling. Good in traffic, very laid back boy never hot headed or silly, can leave him a few days not one that has to be exercised every day. weatherbys passport, vaccinated and teeth upto date. good to shoe, box, catch,clip etc. Only for sale due to lack of time or would consider full loan to stay at present yard or may consider if local to pirbright but yard will be vetted first.
So, what would you think these would fetch on the market, what would you value them at?
P.S. I know none of these horses this is not advertising, its just a bit of fun
And remember...
