Elite Veteran Posts: 602	Whats a realistic price for a 1/2D horse at local races? Local being roughly 60-100 riders on average. Horse's age: 5-15yrs old. Low/some maintenance required. Looking to have fun on the weekends with local associations.

Expert Posts: 2097 Location: Deep South	In my local district, knowing the horses that run here and where they clock at the big races. If I had a horse like that I would be looking to get about $20-25k for it. Some local races are tougher than others and that plays a big part in it. You can also find some horses for a better deal if their owners are in a bind and need to move them quickly.

You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	depends on how often they are in the 1D versus the 2D. I had a gelding who was more of a local 2D horse but occasionally crept in the 1D. he would usually be in the 1D cracks if anything... He sold for 14k but was also a cribber so that dropped his price a hair. If I had a horse who was pulling 1D checks with the occasional 2D run I would be looking more on the upper end of that range.

Veteran Posts: 212	if you look HARD I think you could get one for 10-20k.. we have gotten two that way that are now big show 1d, BUT we also bought them at about 6 with a few 1d runs under their belts and as they got more solid they are now easily worth triple that. I guess it also depends on what kind of horses youre running against. In my opinion it seems easier to get a decent deal from someone that has several that are similiar in where they place, or a trainer. Do you want a horse that is solid and 1d and probably as fast as it will be now or do you want one that may continue to get faster Edited by alp341 2015-06-26 10:20 AM

Not Afraid to Work Posts: 4717	Ive seen a lot of 1D/2D horses being sold from 10k-25k... Our "local" barrel race times are pretty consistent with our bigger shows. So you could run at a local jackpot w/30 horses and run a 15.7 ... you bring in a big event at that arena, a 15.7 is still in the 1D. Maybe wont win the 1D but likely place. There are a few horses that once in awhile will pull out something amazing and make your 1D horse a 2D horse but I would say we dont see a big difference in our 1D horses from local races to barrel bashes.
