The only way other than you setting a price for your equine is to have your horse appraised. There are certain things that they'll look for in the horse though.


First being Breeding- is the horse registered or not(appraisers will consider the equine grade even if you have a stallion report or a copy of registration- they want to see the certificate given to you by the breed organization.) You'll get plus if the horse has proven money earning horses on his papers.


Also looking at the conformation of the equine. Is the horse symmetrical and pleasing to the eye. If the horse is a mare- does she look like a mare?


They'll look at the health or soundness of the equine. A vet check is required to have your horse appraised. This is so any lameness or health problems can be documented.


Then there is training- how much training has the horse had on him? In what disciplines was he trained? Was he trained by a certified trainer or a professional? And has the horse competed and proven his training?


Most appraisers will also want to see you ride the horse to evaluate how easy the horse is to handle, his temperament, how he acts under saddle, and how well he responds to his training. If he's a roping horse- they'll want to see him rope the same with any other discipline.





I have my horses appraised each year because of my equine insurance and for sale purposes. What my appraiser tells everyone- it's hard to put a price on a loved pet, but even harder when someone else does.


If you choose to have an appraisal done on your equine- keep an open mind....because if everyone could get what they thought their animal was worth- we'd all be rich men!


You can't put a price on memories- but you can't sell the memories for the price.How do I price horse for sale?
Pedigree and Confirmation
The main things to consider in pricing a horse are: health, training, age, conformation and bloodline....sometimes color also comes into play. Check around in your area to see what similar horses are selling for, then you can base your price around those because you know what people are willing to pay for a comparable horse. Hope this helps.
I don't know that there is an exact site...but I usually look at what similar horses are going for in my area, plus factor in temperment, registered or not, desirability, looks, conformation.


honestly, bloodlines count for very little to most people...I mean yeah, they are fun to look at..but they don't always mean much.


only serious show people go all ga-ga for bloodlines.


I have an arab mare with wonderful, spectacular bloodlines..she is club footed, and cow hocked! (not to say she isn't wonderful..but you can't win halter shows with her bloodlines alone!)


but she'll out cut-cows your quarter horses anytime! :-)

Do you have access to a reliable horse person , if you do and their not interested in buying you horses , ask them to evaluate them for you . You might go to sale barn in your area and see what horses are selling for .


It depends on their age , size , training and if they are registered with a breed registry .


Here is a price you can start your assessment , if you like ( in my area ) A 7 yr gelding 15.2 h reg APHA well broke for a older child and a good conformation would go for around $ 2500.00 . A mare bred to a Champion Stud and like the gelding would go up to $ 5000.00 / You can add or subtract from that price if your horses are graded up or down . You can contact me if you need more information


I have 40 years expereance with showing , raising and selling horses .

You can post your horses on horsetopia.com or dreamhorse.com. as far as pricing im not sure unless i had a description and picture. look at other horses posted that are simular to yours and go from there.
There is a really good article on how to price your horse in the new issue of the Paint Horse Journal. I would be happy to scan and email it to you.
The things that matter most are level of training, health and disposition.





Check in the classified section of your newspaper and see what horses are selling for. It varies from one region to the next and in some areas, from one season to the next. In Maine, pleasure horses can be obtained for under $1,000 - less in late fall. In Florida, you can get a lemon for a couple thousand. It all depends on supply and demand.
You should look in your local Classifieds to find out what similar type breed is selling at in your area. Then you adjust for training, age, bloodline and any used tack accompanying the sale.
depends on how broke they are, what breed they are and how old they are. An unbroke, papered horse should sell for no more than $2000, I start ticking off 100 bucks if it is 1. not a quarter horse, 2. not a paint, 3. not over 14.3 hands 4. not had proper hoof trimming, 5. not had proper vaccinations, 6. won't load, stand for farrier or tie, 7. if it is over 3 years old and unbroke...





As you can see, your horse probably isn't worth very much, under $1,000 that is if you can sell it at all. Just be honest in your ad. Bloodlines will increase the cost, but if your horse moves crappy, has lameness issues or is insane forget selling it on papers only.
If it is a gift horse you have to look it in the mouth.
