OregonBR - 2014-05-03 10:14 AM $100 would be nice. Not too much and not too little.   

Honestly on a $20,000.00 horse, $100.00 is too little, IMO.  It would look like you were being cheap.  Since normal commission would be $2,000.00, I think the suggestion of a $500.00 Visa card would be the way to go.

Location: Kansas		 As an amateur and someone who considers horses as a major life consuming hobby, if all I did was tell one friend about another frends horse I would expect nothing. I would consider $500 as a great offering, but would feel very guilty accepting it. Friends help others out of friendship, not for money.
If I was a professional, I would feel and view it differently

$500 is 2.5%, standard commission is 10%. However, since he didn't list the horse and handle the majority of the sale (he was a referral), $500 should be a good way to go.

Location: OK		I think a phone call or just telling someone Is NOT being an AGENT, an agent actually shows the horse or sets up a meeting and attends. Thus 10% or what ever was prearrainged. I have sold horses through an agent and the agent was hands on and took some responsibility. In my openion people who want a cut for a phone call or word of mouth need to make their expectations known to the seller in advance of making the call.  That is just good business and being moral.
