What is my mare worth?

Question

Ok this is my horse Breezy. She is an American Saddlebred. She is Chestnut with a crooked blaze, 2 white socks on the left side and a coronet on the back right. She was a rescue. She was skin and bones with no name or history. She was a body score of 2 when I got her. She was given to me with the info of she can be ridden but wasn't by the guy who gave her to me and she was good with other horses. While getting her back to health I have figured out she is a really good mare. I named her Breezy because she was a breeze to work with. Once she got back to enough weight I decided to ride her. She saddles, and takes the bit with no problem. Stands for mounting. Rides both english and western. No buck, bite, or kick. She clips and bathes. Good with dogs, cats, chickens, atvs, traffic, and kids. You can catch her easily. Nickers at you when you walk out the door. I can climb through all of her legs and she loves to be loved on and brushed. Picks up all 4 feet. She can be eating grass and you start brushing her and she will stop eating, level her head and just stand there until you are done. I can't say enough good things about this mare. I believe she has been a show horse in her past. When you get on she starts trotting as they would in saddle seat. I don't want to try to train something else and untrain what she has been bred/ trained for. She is just not my breed. I like Quarter Horses and can't seem to get away from them to own a different breed. Her age is 16-20. Please be nice

Update:

She is also 16hh exactly!

She sounds lovely and you have done a good job with her. With the way she looks now I would say 1000 at the most but if you carried on putting the weight on her and building top line I would think that would at least double because she will be a very nice looking mare with good conformation from what I can see. She would be worth a lot more if she was younger because their price does start going down after about 15 :) keep up the good work with her.

Can't you just love her for her personality? Why does it have to matter what breed she is if she's as wonderful as you've described? At her age, she needs someone who can take care of her right, and you appear to know what you're doing. After all the work you put into her, do you really want to risk having her land in the wrong hands again?  If you must rehome her, please consider a reputable horse rescue group. They will screen all potential new owners very carefully.

With no pedigree or history on her, and the fact that she doesn't have a known show record she probably wouldn't be worth more than $2,000. Because she seems healthy, young-ish, and very well-tempered, with potential to do well and build a show record, then you may be able to get that much for her. If she's in her upper teens or older, she would be worth less. Prices vary based on your location as well. If you are planning to sell her, you should list her around $4,000 and see what offers are thrown at you. If no one bites, then gradually lower the price until someone does.

It would be nice to know her bloodlines. Does she rack? I think she's a five-gaited off of Status Symbol. Just a guess--they all look like her. We had one of his. Everything you say reflects the good things I know about the ASB.
