How much is my horse worth?
How much is my horse worth??
I have an Australian Stock horse bay gelding 15.2hh 10yo unknown breeding but does have brands. His show name is Fleetwood Jacob and barn name Jake. Very sweet temperament, would never bite, but has sensitive back legs, can be picked up and touched etc, but if not gentle he will try to kick. Will follow you around without halter very easy to catch, wash, shoe, worm, tie up, rug, unrug, teeth and float. Not spooked by dogs, motorbikes, cars, cars with floats or any other animal. Easy to ride alone or in company. A bit lazy, so needs a strong rider to keep moving
His experience is: Show jumping, cross country, dressage, polocrosse, trail riding, pony club
He has jumped up to 1 metre but does have some confidence issues, so he may refuse if rider is not urging him over it.
Cross country is good,currently competing at introductory level (in Australia, about 60-80cm high)
Dressage he can collect and go on bit at walk, trot, canter but not a naturally round horse, so takes time to get him rounded. Lateral work and flying changes established
Played a small amount of polocrosse, but not very fast in the game, but he doesn't mind the racket and ball around him
Done many trail rides, through mountains, over creeks etc not spooked by anything, loves water and swimming. Can bareback in halter
Very easy to prepare for show, plaiting etc very calm. Soft snaffle mouth.Very loving, good looking and well manered horse. Lovely paces, smooth canter. Stong hooves. Has had limited show outings, but has proved calm and level headed when at shows. Needs an experienced rider to continue to help him reach his potential, but is suitable for children, provided that they are knowledgable or their parents are. Good competitive mount with further training.

Please tell me what you think of him, but no critical comments. I just want to know how much he is worth at this particular moment in time.

very cute! i don’t think he is going to be worth over 7k, just because he isn’t a SUPER athletic jumper. he’s an adorable horse though and sounds like he is a wonderfully sweet guy as well. i’m sure he is priceless if we were only judging his personality
but in the real horse trade business, i’d probably price him at 6,500k. very nice!

WOW! He’s sooo stunning, and looks very talented. Being conservative, I’d say he’s worth around 5000 dollars (american)
You have one nice horse!

He’s a good horse, but with the economy the way it is, I’d say 3,000 would be lucky. If your selling him price him at 3,000 obo, but he’ll probably end up going at 2,500 to 2,000.

Hes Super Cute! Just LOOK at the muscling!
Right now I would say 3000, only because of:
1 The economy
2 The chance he could kick someone
3 a bit lazy
He sounds really nice!
Im sure if you worked on him nice and made him as safe as possible, hed be worth 5 grand
but very beatiful horse
