Location: Somewhere around here | If you have a horse with good bloodlines and has pro rodeo potential, running a nice correct and fast pattern at home and small jackpots but needs to be seasoned, what would you price them around?
Asking for a friend.

| JMHO so take it or leave it...but I'd price it like a jackpot horse because that is what it is. There really isn't such a thing as "rodeo potential" until a horse has actually been tried in a rodeo environment with trash ground and has shown the ability to run on said trash ground with all the excitement of a rodeo. |

| Agree with SKM, I know of a couple of horses that run great at jackpots but don't like the rodeo atmosphere and don't fire as hard. I also know one that will be 3D at jackpots but take him to a rodeo and he will draw you a check most every time. You don't know what you have till you take them to a rodeo. |

| You have to price him as he is. There's a lot of time and entry fee money that goes into 95% of them between "small jackpot" and "pro rodeo". There's a gifted few that get there quicker, they are usually in only the best hands from the beginning (Sharpie, for example).
that doesn't mean people won't give good money for a well bred, started correctly, ready to haul horse. Just not as much good money as they will for something with more/bigger miles under their belt.

I agree with this but location of horse plays a big part in pricing and user friendly.............and also versaitility.......
It just depends on the buyer also how much money you have in the horse plays a part in selling price.
I would love to see a video of the horse.......
Also with seasoning I feel you pay upfront or you pay as you go. also the timer and how the horse is clocking is a huge factor......................goodluck!
