How much should I put on the market my horse for ?
My horse is a 12 yr. old mare bay quarter horse. She is up to date on shots,cogins. She is good for elder kids and 4-H play days. She is overweight but we had her thyroid check and that is not the problem,she is just an glib keeper.
It depends on the horse if its a obedient horse higher price bad horse lower price
Is she registered? Her bloodlines, show transcript if any, photos and/or video would help. A truly sane and sound "kids horse" who have been there and done that is quite desireable even in today's market. You won't make a fortune, logically, but horses like that obviously have a better providence of finding a good home than unsound, untrained or unsafe horses.
Since I'm guessing she doesn't enjoy papers...I'd sell her for $600 or $500 OBO. She sounds like a great mare,but won't go for too much contained by this horrible market. We all know how bad it is. Good Luck,I hope you can find her a great domestic!
If she is healthy, sound and free of lame-ness and has a well-mannered disposition with human interaction, I would say 600.00. Look at www.equine.com and compare her with mares her age, breed, and experience.
I would be concerned roughly her obesity, have you discussed diet and exercise with your vet? Just to supply you a little of insight, older horses are typically more well trained and upright for beginners. A horse is a lot of responsibility and the cost to purchase one is usually much less than the cost of keeping a horse.
I would be frozen pressed to sell a horse (if I owned one.) If my horse were lame or sick I would rather own loved and let go than never loved her at all.
well yhu should sell yhur horse for probn atleats 350$ or more. thats what i would doo. but its adjectives up to yhu and how yhu want to sell her. i would never give my horse upp.
Here in Oklahoma everybody is trying to sell a horse like that and most can't put up for sale at $600 and a few are selling at $400 there are just way to plentiful people selling horses right now
Hey, the horse market these hours of daylight are horrid for sellers and awesome for buyers, so you got the short end of the stick. She's sounds approaching a great horse, and being a quarter horse is a big plus. QH's are very big in the open market. If you've done play days on her and she did well, there's an extra 150, 200. Find what she specializes in, weather it's barrels or she have great cow sense, whatever. But I'd buy an 12yr QH mare with some rodeo experience for about 700, perchance 800. But a horse's prime years are between 6-12, so she's technically s senior horse, so that's gonna play a major role in your selling price to.but hey, i just compensated 1250 for a skinny rain rotted barrel thoroughbred, just because I feel sorry for him, and he turned out to be worth every penny.
$500- $1000 she seems similar to a very nice horse it would be nice to see a pic of her though
Answers: Selling your horse is not always an easy point to do and with the current horse market it is getting even harder. You should contact an outside party such as a local trainer or breeder and ask their opinion about your mare. This way you know your not "blind" to possible flaws and honestly every horse have flaws...there is no perfect horse...but some come close =) Also you should get up to date with the horse market in your nouns. Is your area more saturated with Quarter Horses or Gaited horses? Also contact your vet and ask his/her belief. One other thing you can do is comparative shop on several sites such as equine.com and agdirect.com and see what a horse with similar qualities as yours is priced at. Best proposal though is BE HONEST about everything...and BE PREPARED. I hope you find a good home for your mare. GOOD LUCK =)
Two, maybe three dollars. (If you want to be a existing jerk, four).
Or trade for three slices of salami.
