How much could i sell him for?

Question

i have a 13.3 hh POA pony named hootie (:He is a very good horse and very quiet!He can be ridden western and english and has jumped before at about 2'8 with ease and plenty of potential to go higher.he is 100% sound and barefoot .He is 15 and still going very strong!You would think he is about 10. I can ride him in a very mild hackamore but i prefer riding him in a western reining bit.He has a very nice trot (if your english) for people learning to post.He loads in the trailer like a DREAM no problems what so ever.He is exteremly safe and i trail ride so nothing spooks him, I have never taken him in an arena but his previous owner that was all she had.He does very well on cross ties or being tacked up in a stall not tied up to anything.He is pretty wasy to catch (walks right up to you).He is good out alone or with other horses.Never gotten a buck or rear from him if something scares him i let him stare at it fr a little while then he is fine.How much should I sell him for in the U.S

Answer 1

Ah, he's a cutie! He sounds like he'd be good for children learning to ride. I'd ask about $3500-$4500, and if he doesn't sell within a month, drop the price about $500. Also, I'd make the price negotiable, so that if someone wants to say, "Hey, how about we make it $3000," they know you'd be up to it. Normally, I'd say $5000-$6000, but the market is so down, you'll be lucky to get over $4000 for him. Good luck!

Answer 2

He seems like a really good pony!  seems like a good first horse too :)

its too bad your selling him! I'd say he is a keeper! any reason why your selling him?

anyways,back to the subject... I think he'd be good for 4000$ . and if he doesn't sell in a month (which he probably wont-he's so darn adorable!)drop the price 500$ or so.  What I would do is maybe put a price on him that you feel comfortable with, and then put negotiable ,beside it.

good luck finding him a great home, he deserves a great one!

Answer 3

I would say arounf $4000/$5000. Like the previous poster said, post him high, then if he doesn't sell drop the price $500 each time.

Answer 4

the only reasons i could think your selling him is that hes too big for you, poor, going to college? he looks great, maybe around $2000-3000, maybe a little more. if he doesnt sell in the next 3 months, lower the price by about 500$. what breed is he? if he isnt registered, you may not be able to sell him for much.

to love, love me do- horse business sucks, she may be able to sell him for that much, i doubt it, no offense. more people are selling cuz theyre too poor or dont have the room, even though they can board him.

Answer 5

It depends on what part of the country you are trying to sell him, down in the south where I am, a younger horse with the same qualities sold for $400, at the horse sales even $125.

There are dumb people in this world that think if they pay $3000 for a horse that makes it better.  

I highly doubt you will get the 2,000-6,000 that love,love me do and Amber suggested.  

I would also question how much you paid for him....if you paid over 1K for him, then obviously you won't want to take $400.  

But as I said, depends on where you're trying to sell him,

for instance last week I bought a 7 yr old 17 hand TB mare that is tatooed and raced for $200.....and she's dead broke and perfect!!!!

Good luck with selling your pony!

Answer 6

I would say 7,000-8,000 try selling him to a schooling barn they are more likely to need a bombproof pony, and remember ask for 8,000 first remember he is 15 just bec. he act 10 doesn't mean he is.

hope this helps....please best answer this!

Answer 7

If he is such a good horse why wood u want 2 sell him?

Answer 8

He's really cute!!!  I would say anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000.  Maybe more, maybe less.  But he looks like a GREAT kid's pony.  I used to know a horse that was similar in qualities (he couldn't jump, but he was 40 and nothing spooked him-ridden by a 6 year old), and I think that they got him for something like 7,000, but I could be wrong.

Answer 9

$3,500 - $4,900. The horse market sucks right now, that's why I would say that price range. If the market wasn't so bad, I would say $5,000-$6,000. It's good that he does Western and English, jumps, and acts like he's 10. Usually a horse's performance peak is between 8 and 12. Your pony is 15, which would only lower the price a little bit. Anyway he sounds like a nice, safe pony and he should sell quickly.

ETA: I just used a calculator for him. This is the price range for POA geldings, age 10-15, between 12.3 and 14.1 hands, in the US and Canada: http://horsetopia.horse-for-sale.org/sal... It won't let me post the link of the actual result, so you'll have to plug in the search criteria.

Answer 10

Sounds like a superb kids pony!  I sold my LOUD marked POA gelding (14H) that was BROKE BROKE -(seen the country side) for 1500.  We are located in Midwest - where the market isn't super strong - and good kid/cattle broke horses are hard to find - so he was a priced pretty high!  Depending on how badly you need to sell him you might start at 1500-2000 and see what kind of bites you get - be sure to place him online and use good photos of you riding etc... even video if possible! IT HELPS ALOT!

EDIT - forgot to mention he looks part Arab???? Is he registered?  Being a gelding it doesn't matter!  You can't breed him - so papers shouldn't affect his price much - except to verify age -

Answer 11

If I had the money and a place to board a horse, I'd snap him up in ah eart beat. :] He's so pretty!

Anyways, with the current horse market, You can't expect to get a whole lot out of him. YOu can maybe get 1500-2000 maybe a bit more or a bit less.

Answer 12

i would say 5,000-6,000

i hope you find a good place for him

Answer 13

He is very cute...and sounds like a great, safe pony for a child.  And a great first pony for someone.

Have you looked on some of the internet selling sites to see what others are listed at?  Unfortunately, horse prices are down and many a horse can be bought at a rescue for less $$$..although your guy has a traceable history.

Is he registered?

Also, just a suggestion..he is very cute but has a little of a "rough" look to him as far as grooming.  I would clean him up  little..trim bridle path, fetlocks, so he has more of a "refined" look.  First impressions count in photographs.  I would put a nice leather halter on him and make him stand squared for his new photo session...make him look like he is worth a million dollars!!

I can be critical of size of rider vs horse and honestly..you look good on him...but I know sometimes it's just time to move on.  Just be sure to check who and where he is going to!!

Best of luck!!

Answer 14

Oh my gosh I want him!Well I cant and that really sucks I would pay for him (lowest price) $1.00 and highest price about lets see...$7,000.00.But I cant have a horse I ride them every week though and have been for around 5 years western and some english for like a month or two...
