Is this a good horse for the money
Below is a picture of a horse I went to look at a few days ago that I am thinking about buying to begin hunter under saddle training. I bought my first horse from these people and they always have very nice horses, so I know she is coming from a good place. Personally I think her conformation looks good and she is a really nice mover with a smooth trot. She has great ground manners and she's got plenty of get up and go which I like. Does her price seem fair? I know horse prices are down right now, and I know I'll be paying more for her color, she's drop dead gorgeous, but it seems a little high to me. Would $4000 be a fair offer?

Answers:Hmm, one thing that is missing is her experiance level. She's 6 years old so she is probably not green anymore but you don't know where they got her from, how long they've had her, or what age she started training. Has she ever been competed or shown? That's a big one, because some "quiet" horses can be a handfull at shows if they aren't experianced.
If she has show experiance and isn't green that is an excellent price. If she is still green then I would put the $4k offer out there and see what it can do.
Best wishes!
yes very fair
yea, thats a great price for a horse.
Seems to me to be a pretty mare. If she will walk, trot and canter with her nose out and on a seemingly loose rein, this is what you want. I don't know if western hunters jump however if they do you want a horse that will hold an even stride between the jumps, change its leads on the turns and not become excited. If you have a horse that does this for the price they are asking and she is sound, no/minor nevicular changes etc. you have a great deal. I would have the vet check her left hind leg, as it appears she minimizes weight there in all pictures.
$8,000
What a GORGEOUS horse! If you have the money she's definitely worth every penny of the $4600 they're asking ... but your $4000 should be your 'first offer' so you can 'dicker' ... but if they 'stick' at the whole $4600, then go ahead and buy her ... she could be 'bred' and make your money back if she 'breeds true' to coat. And she's a bit 'loud' for a hunter, but since I doubt you will be actually 'hunting' but 'showing her in hunt class' I think she'd be an AMAZING horse.
Yes, absolutly a great price for that horse. Yes $4000 would ne a fair offer... You can tell alot of work has been put into this horse... so it would be very worth the price. Good luck ! She is beauty !
That seems like a very fair price-I don't see any reason that you couldn't offer 4000.00, but they will probably come back with something in the middle (4300.00). If you want to get her for 4000, you will need to offer something like 3800.00. You will need to be careful not to offend them, but I am guessing that they are probably planning on getting 4000 from the price that they chose and that they say negotable on the ad. Also, the fact that you are a repeat customer will help because they will want to keep you happy and keep you coming back.
Where it says pedigree it says N/A. If she is NOT registered, then no she is not worth the price; maybe $2500. If she is registered then she is definintly worth the price.
i would.
you could always try to bargin her 4 less, but overall she seems like a very good horse for the price
