📣Let’s talk horse prices and sales📣

We constantly have owners sending horses in for sales prep and a question we always ask is “What price are you putting on the horse?”

Common answers:
• “Well with the right owner/rider he would be a really nice horse so, $blah blah blah”
• “My friend/daughter/mum/partner reckons he’s definitely worth $blah blah blah”
• “He’s got good blood lines, one day he’ll be an outstanding horse so I’m thinking nothing below $blah blah blah”

Firstly if your friend, mother, sister, daughter, partner, parent or whoever thinks your horse is worth X amount of money, well get your wallet out then!

Moving onto breeding/blood lines! Yes 100% breeding and bloodlines etc contribute to the sale, training and price of your horse HOWEVER things to consider if you’ve put a hefty price on a horse just because of its bloodlines:
Please consider…
• Yes they may be bred for something specific but sometimes that doesn’t always work out
• Always add “BLANK CANVAS” to the add
• Because it has good breeding simply doesn’t mean it’s worth the price of a luxury home!

“With the right owner/rider” this is what we consider “bullsh*t sales techniques”!!! To state the obvious all horses will go well with “their right owner/rider”!
If the horse simply doesn’t have enough or the correct training and you are selling it on, it does NOT make it SEEM better or increase the price just because of that statement. That statement is a cleaner way of saying “NEEDS WORK” “COULD DO WITH GOING TO A TRAINER”!

Let me be clear, it is OK to sell horses for ANY reason! But think about your prices and horses when you sell!!

Just wanted to share my favourite method of putting a bridle on a horse that an old farmer taught me when I was 12 ☺️

𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐆 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝!✨️ Did you know the Arabian horse is the oldest horse breed in the world—dating back over 4,500 years? That’s older than the Roman Empire, older than castles, and even older than some ancient pyramids!

But the Arabian didn’t just stay in the desert looking pretty. Nope—this horse travelled, inspired, and transformed the equine world.

𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬?
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩:
Arabians were highly prized for their intelligence, endurance, beauty, and toughness—and they adapted so well to harsh desert life that they became legendary. As trade, war, and exploration spread across the world, people brought Arabians with them.

Warriors, royalty, and breeders used Arabians to improve local horse breeds—infusing them with better stamina, lighter frames, stronger lungs, and prettier heads. This magical mix gave rise to many of today’s favourites:

• Thoroughbreds (for racing and speed)
• Quarter Horses (for agility and power)
• Welsh Ponies, Warmbloods, Paso Finos… the list goes on!

Even horses who don’t look like Arabians often carry a touch of Arabian blood deep in their family tree.

𝐒𝐨 𝐲𝐞𝐬—𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲. 𝐒𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞... 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.

From the desert sands to show rings and pastures across the globe, the Arabian horse left its mark—and it’s still going strong today. ✨️🌍🐎
