How do you value a horse

[nogden]

Is there a formula?

Nogden,

Give Nikki an email at [e-mail].

She runs a website that sells horses and ponies. What she doesnt know, I am sure she can pass you onto someone.

Speed=money

so

speed x amount = horse price

speed = directly proportional to horse price.

Per kilo, dead weight.

[dudleybloke]

about 60 percent of the price of beef.

Are there any french in this evening?

Age.
Condition.
Experience.
Ability.
Achievements.
Current form.
Future potential.

Obviously different conditions apply depending on what the horse is used for ie Eventing, Racing, Hunting, happy hacking, riding school pony etc. Horses for courses if you'll excuse the pun !!

I know people who will happily spend £15k + on a hunter and when you get into eventing the sky is the limit especially for a top level horse.

Depends on so many things as has been said. Potential & past achievements count for a lot as well as behavioral traits depending on what the new owner is looking for, confidence giver or an out & out top flight competition mount?

Have a look through the Horse Adverts listings to get some ideas of the price range. If you use the contact tab on that site it'll go to a very helpfull team who might be able to help in a bit more depth.

Hi all,
agree with all mr Mojo said above but will add that ppl will pay more if it has good breeding.
good bloodlines, full breed etc etc, does it have a passport with lots of ancestors, far reaching family tree?
