How much should I sell this mare for?

Question

ok, I have a 2yo 14.1hh mare, she hasnt had much done with her, she is started in lounging, she leads, ties, backs, somewhat squares, grooms, loads on trailer, good for vet, can be fussy sometimes with farrier ive been on her a few times but all in all I havent put much into her, I just never had the time with school. She doesnt like cars, hates being alone, freaks over clippers, spins when bathed or fly sprayed. Her father is a registered paint and her mother is a whole mess of ponys, arabs and a bunch of other stuff. We have to downsize on our horses and she is the only one who doesnt get used so we have to get rid of her before winter, what would be a good price to put on her ?

Answer 1

I don't see her getting that much, unless she has some good conformation. She's a mutt-type horse, and would go for the hundreds sale-wise.

She has some issues that could actually be considered big problems, so I would say she could sell for $350. If she's good looking, you could up it.

Answer 2

I agree with most of these post you won't get much for her, because she needs a lot of work! But i say around $400 to $600.....And you still might have trouble finding a buyer, because of the low horse market.... If she was a little more trained and acted better, you might get a better price for her...but that means you are gonna have to work with her a lot....

Answer 3

less than 1,000

probably closer to 500

she needs an advanced rider, and its hard to find an advanced rider who wants an untrained 2 year old with sketchy blood lines

sorry

good luck though!

Answer 4

Wow- she sounds like she could be great but she needs someone to help her out...I think around 750-1000. If you got someone to lease her and work with her a little maybe you can sell her for more. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Being how you can get well broke papered horses for around $1000, your gonna have trouble getting $300 for her. You're obviously responsible for breeding her, and not working with her enough. What makes you think anyone is going to want to take over your problem?

Answer 6

You posters are kidding right?  The market won't give you $50 if she went through auction.  Better cut your losses.

Answer 7

sounds like she needs a WHOLE BUNCH of work

with the way the market has been going I would say

850-1500

and thats pushing it

Answer 8

It just depends, where you are located and how much people are willing to pay for a young horse with no background but then you could get a decent amount because certain people like buying them young so they can do what they will with them or train them how they specifically train.

I would say not over 1700, no lower then 700.

Good luck

Answer 9

ummmm....

since she doesn't like to bathe or stand for the farrier very well.....and hasn't had much done with her...I would say around $600-$1000
