Location: TExas | 14yr old gelding apha nothing special in his papers. He is a youth horse runs 3/4d barrels, 23 poles, goats and you can rope on him. This is all in south Texas around San Antonio. I have an idea in my head but want some input. They are looking at partial trade on one of my horses. Thanks |

| If he is completely solid on the poles and barrels and makes the same run every time plus easy in the alley, $8500. Regardless of how he finished out, someone put alot of time and money into him to make him what he is. Good confidence building horses for kids aren't cheap. |

| A few unanswered questions
Is he kid safe, will he go as fast as the kid wants, can a kid trot a competitive pattern (in competition). Does he walk in the alley, will he baby sit?
Roping team roped, break away?
If the answer is yes to all the questions, 5000 as a beginner all around horse for a child who has years to grow with the horse are worth a lot more money to some.
But it may take time to sell the horse as you need the perfect person looking |

Location: TExas | Yes to your questions. I don't know about roping they are getting me videos. He is kid broke horse. Can go any speed. Runs those times with a kid. He is used for jr high rodeos right now. I have sold slower horses then him for around $4500-$5000 around here so I'm thinking trade value of $5000 that way I have a little room to make money. They are coming to look at two of mine that are 1/2d and one a 1/2d and low 21 sec pole horse. |

Yes! If you can grab him for $5000 you can sell him for $8500. - Unless you're in Wyoming, then he'd be in the $800 range- :) |

Location: TExas | Thank you we are on the same page. I know how long an how much it takes to make these horses. They are good for the kids and novice and older riders. i am thinking he may be a little bit nicer with an adult riding him. He is a big pretty boy. We will see what he is like when they bring him over. |

Location: Deep South | If you had $5000 in him, around here you would have a hard time making money off of him. Horses like that sell for about $3500-5000 where I'm from.
He would be for sale for a LONG time at $8500. Everyone wants the type of horse you just described for their kid, but no one will pay that for them. |

I agree it completely depends on your location- where I just came from he'd be $8500, where I was before that he'd be $5000. |
