Finding For Sale By Owner

Arab lover <3 asked:


I’m looking to buy a smaller lesson horse for my program and I think I found the perfect one but I need some opinions.

She is 8 years old going on 9 and 13.1H. She’s been shown extensively Hunter/Jumper. She has a great walk and trot and always gets the right lead. Her only thing is she likes to rush at the canter but I think I could easily fix this with some consistant riding. She’s got a great conformation but needs her feet done. She is up to date on all shots and coggins. She is bombproof! She has taken little kids to shows.

She’s $1500 and the owner would deliver her for me. She is not registered so they don’t know of her exact breed. She’s got beautiful appy coloring but she’s the height of a pony. I’m thinking she’s probably a POA/Appy cross. She doesn’t have that stupid pony attitude either.

So my questions are…
Do you think that’s a good deal for her?
Could I sell her for more in the near future?
How much could I possibly sell her for?

Thank you!
