Chasin97canz - 2016-01-07 1:42 PM Sire: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/chasin+firewater Dam: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/merri+dashi I'm pretty set on geting this yearling mare. She is cremello and has pretty nice confo she's not perfect. If I was to rate her confo I'd say 7.5 out of 10! So assume that if you saw this mare you'd agree sense I have no photo lol. I just feel she is pretty over priced.. Not stating what because I don't want to effect responses. So say you had this foal.. What would you price her at?
Are you buying the mare or the off spring of the two?
Pricing a yearling is difficult but a horse is only worth how much someone will give you for it. That being said, If you aren't willing to give as much for a yearling someone else has paid money to foal out, someone else will. That's the business.
Keep in mind stud fees, transport fees, mare care fees, vet care, nurtitional support for the mare, and registration costs, etc. It's pretty expensive to get a foal on the ground. Especially if it's from a well known, higher end stud.
ETA: Also keep in mind the breeder needs to make a profit, not break even.

The Chasin fillies that went through the Tx Best sale brought decent amounts. I like the bottom side on this one and wouldn't be surprised, at all, to see it in the $10\15k range. For some, her being cremello would boost the price.

I have seen the horse you are talking about and I agree her conformation doesn't look to be all that great, but sometimes those young ones will surprise you. I would not give what they are asking because I earn every penny I have. but if I won the lotto I would buy her based on breeding and color
