Information on hanovarian x warmbloods?

I just bought a hanovarian x warmblood. I'm hoping to back and sell him on.

I've been looking at horses the same breed and they are up for really high prices. Eg a foal for £2000. The cheapest iv seen was lightly backed at £4000 and the rest are all around £6000.

Is this just the breed that's desirable? Could I sell my horse for this kind of money? He's 16.2hh 4 yo gelding and has augerman bloodlines.

Any help/info on the breed appreciated.

    The breed and pedigree are the only base of a horse's value. The real value is the training that is put on that base.

    If your 4 YO has no training it has little value beyond it's pedigree. Backing will only create a green horse, training and a show record will put the greatest value on the horse.

    Breeding alone can sell your colt for big money. That is only if the sire and dam are proven for their show abilities and have impeccable conformation.

    I was looking a a little colt for $5000-I didn't recognize the parents and almost snorted when he showed me the papers. While the little guy was great-he will probably sell for around a $1000.

    For a gelding, the more you show and win, yes his price will go up. I ave always loved to work/ride this breed but now that I am in farm country I am back to quarter horses.

    Note: with a show record an a few more years on him-when he hits 7-8 he may be worth a lot more than you think. But that's is a lot of time between now and then and kind of hard to take anything I say here as I have never seen the horse or how he works or what his abilities are.

    Keep your goal in mind and I hope when you are ready to let him on he is prepared and rewards you with what you find an cceptable offer.

    Breed does play a part but unless I can see he has some serious potential, I wouldn't be interested.

    It took me over a year to find a dressage horse with potential I could work with. I looked at every decent warmblood from one side of Australia to the other.

    Breed means nothing. Hanoverians are a very well known warmblood breed and if he is branded/registered that is where the money is at.

    Breeds might supply you a training while it is composed of conformation and suitable disciplines, yet character characteristics are greater a count of atmosphere. habit shaping, previous stories, modern administration are all factors while it includes a horse's temperament. the terrific suggestion i will supply is to envision the wanted self-discipline/activity you like the pony to do; in case you nevertheless sense this pass is acceptable, then make your determination based on the guy horse. terrific of success...

    I hate to say it but horses are only worth the big bucks unless you are in the market with big spenders. No buyer for the horse, no sale.
