Ridecamp: RE: [RC] horse prices?

Meat price is it basic bottom line in horse prices. Anything above that price depends on performance ability and emotional value. If the horse is not a top contender then it will not command a price based on ability, therefore you work on emotion.

 

You look for some one in need of a companion animal and base your sales pitch along that line. List the good points and negate the poor ones. Remember it is a sale and that takes salesmanship.

 

Also consider a gift. (tax deduction) Angie was on the look out for a horse such as yours for Becky.

Subject: [RC] horse prices?

I need to sell a horse but have no idea of what a fair price would be. He's AERC # H26539. 1990 chest arab gelding, about 14 - 14.1, no vices, neckreins and knows leads, doesn't buck, rear or freak out at ride starts, goes in a hack. Loads in anything. Probably not a top 10er or 100 miler. His pulls were for a rump cramp in cold weather, a splint that has never acted back up, and a pulled leg that was misdiagnosed and he started a ride he shouldn't have(that's never acted up again either). No metabolic problems. I have nobody locally to ask since our state has a whopping 4 AERC members. I'm in the mid-Atlantic area. NE region.
