Selling Horses
I have to sell my horse and it was really unexpected =/ . . . . but i'm not sure how much she'd go for. She's a 4-year old thoroughbred, red bay, and she's been trained and ridden, she hasn't been ridden as much lately, but she's got really good potential and is overall really a great horse, i'm sad i have to sell her, but with no other choice, i need help coming up with a price so i can know i'm selling her right and don't make a price that doesn't fit. Anyone with an idea of a good price would realy help, thanks.

I think that a good price would be like $3,500. Or in between $2,000 and $4,500. But I wouldn’t go any higher than that.

It’s hard to say without seeing her or knowing more information… there’s a lot of other factors involved. Exactly how much training has she had and in what discipline? Where do you live (location can affect price!)? Has she been shown at all? You say she has potential, potential for what? Is she registered? Was she raced? Has she ever had soundness issues? Does she have good, solid conformation, healthy feet, etc? Those are all things you’ll need to think about, it’s the kind of stuff that buyers will want to know and will influence the price you get for her.
Depending on all these things she could be worth anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000+. If you have a trainer or a friend with experience selling horses you should consult them since they’ll be able to give you a more educated answer than someone on the internet. You could also search on websites such as equine.com, horsetopia.com, and dreamhorse.com for similar horses in your area, that can give you an idea of what kind of market you’re dealing with.
Good luck finding the right home for your mare, selling a horse can be a pain in the butt but I’m sure you’ll find the perfect new owner for her.
