He is actually gorgeous. And he has that Peppy looking ***. What area of the country you're in can make a lot of difference. This generally determines your customer base. I have the feeling that you don't show on the extended circuit. I hate to sound prejudiced but a nice horse like this shouldn't be wasted barrel racing unless your are to the level where you are competing for money and actual national points etc. But if this were the case you wouldn't be asking what price to ask and you wouldn't be inluding your tack in the price.


I'm only guessing, (which is stupid because I don't really have enough info) but in California, on the right circuit you could probably ask and get in the area of $15K - $20K. I know it's not very much, but prices what they used to be either. If you were in the midwest, that figure could drop by 2/3.Ok thining of selling my paint...pricing?
I might pay 2000 to 2500 for him. In todays market, average horse, average looks a dime a dozen. Sorry dont want to be harsh, just people are not buying unless you are talking excellent quality and winning at world and congress shows. and they are 20,000 and up.
between 7-14k
sounds like a nice horse with a big price tag
