How much is my horse worth?

Hi i have a 8 year old really pretty Chestnut TB he sire was a famous race horse he was NATURALISM (NZ) he won 12 races and his service fee was 12,000 she comes with papers shes really pretty needs work but still no nasties in her needs confident rider to bring back into work done grade 3 pony club some dressage and show jumping how much is she worth? i only have 2500 neg on her at the moment and still no calls? Who ever said thats how much your cow is worth you can get ****** shes a beautiful horse not some cow!!! I also live in Australia and one of my friend breeds and races race horses and he thinks she is worth plenty as she has unique face markings lots of white and her sire was a well known breeder and serviced mares from all over the world such as usa and ireland!! Hi thanks for some of your answers i have only had her for about 2 months now shes just not the type of horse i need i want a stock horse or quarter horse for trail rides ect shes just to strong for me and that is the reason i am selling her. Naturalism her sire is in the book of stars. i have no droped her price to 1800 neg but how ever much i sell her for is what i have to get another horse. shes a awesome horse! just not for me

well that seems a bit much for a TB mare and chestnut, they are a dime a dozen and the fact that she needs work and needs a confident rider, that diminishes her value quite a lot. it really doesn't matter who her father was. I had a mare by Octagonal and i couldn't get more then 500 for her, and she was about at the level of training that your mare is and very pretty and bay. the fact that she has previously done pony club and jumping is good, but i have a warmblood mare that i bought because she had DONE that and I am now fully aware why she stopped. That said, if you can get her back into work and make her look well muscled and a level head, this will hike her price up to 2000 but right now i wouldn't pay more then 100-1300 I'm in Australia where the majority of horses seem to be chestnut TB mares.
Its been some years past snce I rode and owned a hunter jumper myself. We showed in different divisions. The horses that qualified for an A show around the USA could go for $25,000. yet an 8 year old mare that was run or not on the track usually got abused with their legs. My mare had to get pin fired and never got over being lame. She had to be put down after a year of nursing her to no avail. Horses are a very hard pet to put a number on. If you paid $1000. and enjoyed her, then maybe the new owner will love her for $1000. too.
i would say about two thousand! sounds like a nice horse hope i helped
My rule of thumb when selling anything is- if it's priced right, I'll get a few lookers and sold by 30 days. If it's priced too high, no inquiries at all in 30 days. If it's too low, it sells in a week. :) Horse, car, photo of Elvis, all the same principle. How long have you had her at that price??? There's your answer. Drop it by 25% and get er gone, hopefully.
sounds very majestic. this horse could probably go for *3000-6000$* Happy Hunting!
as much as someone will pay
