I do agree that he has a pretty color, but color does not give any indication of talent. I would definitely ask my trainer his / her opinion on this horse. What justifies him being worth the $4500. Has his sire won a lot? What have any other colts by the same sire done in the show ring? Would it be possible to see some of the other colts and how they are progressing in their training? If this is a first foal crop from this sire, then the price may be a little steep for an unproven sire. Remember, just because the sire or dam is a great show horse, that does not always mean the foals will be also. And since horse prices are way down right now, I think you could find one that is further along in his training for the money. Or maybe even lease a well trained one for a awhile. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

He's a gorgeous young horse and though it's hard to tell from just a picture, he looks like a nice mover and has beautiful lines. Since his sire is a dressage horse, if you're looking for a dressage prospect, $4500 is not a lot of money. Especially if his liniage is good.
You can maybe haggle them down a little bit since I highly doubt that he's been backed yet, but I doubt that a horse like this will be on the market for long. Offer $3500 and be prepared to bargain. If you get them down to $4000, you'll have gotten yourself a real bargain.

it particularly is the unlucky condition whilst a discern potential properly yet would not have the understanding and archives to make one in each and every of those purchase order. you need to in all possibility in no way get to holiday those ponies. i'm hoping your standardbred is coming from a solid historic past. to this point as working with the ponies, there is plenty to be accomplished that would not contain driving. you could artwork on putting a ordinary initiating on the ponies so they have stable manners and are properly experienced all around. initiating training will prepare them for purely saddle artwork in spite of the undeniable fact that it particularly is an absolute necessity for each horse. Geez, you're style of in slightly a pickle. stable success with your horses.

Well it wouldn't hurt to offer $3500 cash for him. All that they can say is No. I've noticed that a lot of times they will take the cash. He looks like a great horse. Good luck. If he's broke he's definately worth $4500!

considering the market is as low as it is right now and this gelding is unbroke. I feel the price is too high. No guarentee that he is going to follow in his sire's footsteps. what are your plans for him? and how good of a rider? do you have a trainer? hwo much are you going to pay per month for training? lots of things to consider here.
good luck

Before I would even offer to buy him I would talk to my trainer and make sure he is even suitable for what you are planning to do with him.Your trainer should have a better idea of what unstarted horses of this type are going for in your area.

All depends on the training. If he is "dead broke" I might pay that, if he isn't I would pay more then $1500 because there is going to be thousands more put into him to train.
