I don't think this horse is worth asking price but some friends of mine want him?
At my barn there is a 5y/o pinto with no papers. He is genuinely 5 though, he was born there so I know.
He had 30 days at 3 years old and nothing since. Standing in a stall for 2 years. UTD feet, teeth, etc. That's the only handling he gets is the farrier and shots.
His conformation is good except for a fugly head.
Owner asking $1,200. I believe he's worth $500.
My friends, who are horse newbies but have 2 ancient, solid, beginner horses, feel they're ready to step up to this project and feel $1200 is fair.
I'm not getting involved either way, I just showed them some other horses available at that price (finished, solid types) via craigslist etc and told them to take a look around before jumping in that's all.
But what would a unregistered, essentially unbroke, flashy big-headed pinto get in your area?
