Im about to get a paint horse that is pretty good broke and she might be pregnant should i really pay $600?

Question

She is like 5 years old very pretty and rides good...is she really worth 600 dollars

Answer 1

As long as the mare is in good health and has good hooves, I would definitely start considering it. Have the vet and farrier out to check on her health and hooves. Also, ask the vet about pregnancy. See if he could check for you. If she is pregnant, do you have experience with foals? They are very different than working with a trained horse.

Answer 2

That is CHEAP! Most horses are well over 1000 $ are you sure she doesn't have ANY health problems?

Answer 3

    I llive on a ranch with 15,372 animals, and my favorite are the paints. I am very experienced with riding, and everything!

                      Well, she is a paint horse, and there hooves tend to be mixed up because they are usually mixed breeds. There might be a catch on this paint horse though, so, go to the owners house and ask if you can just pet the horse, saddle it with YOUR saddle, haulter it, and just do all the things you think you would do regularly with it.

            The baby may cause pain to the paint, meaning, it may not servive, the baby might not either.

            $600 is a good price, but to get a good horse, you want it to atleast ne $1000. Check the horse out for a few hours, and if the owners deny you looking at it or make excuses, tell them deals off, because you don't want to take your chances. Also have a farrier check it's hooves out, and have a vet look at it.

               Hope I helped! Tell me everything, how it worked out, her signs, and if you have any questions I'll reply in the Comments page ok?

Answer 4

she should be worth more, but if thats the price, yes get her!

Answer 5

In today's horse market, $600 is a fair price to pay if the horse is in good health and is able to be ridden.  If she is in foal, you're getting 2 horses for $600.  That's a good deal.

Make sure she is the horse you want and make sure you have ridden her several times before you buy her.  You may even want to have her vet checked.  Check her feet and legs for any signs of trauma.  Bad feet make a bad horse.

If you can finish her training yourself, the price would still be fair.  Good luck!
