What is this colt horse worth in your area?

New baby I like... Fancy medicine hat paint color. 1 blue eye, 1 brown eye, the blue eye does have the pink skin around it.

Sire is APHA ranch work money earner, around 15.3h, has earned money in stuff to do with cattle, I'm not sure exactly which organization, NRCHA or similar.

Dam is Halter bred, no show experience, not broke, nothing. Big big momma, 16h of thick halter breeding.

Baby appears sound and built well, though you know how it is with babies.

I'm thinking $400?

    Somewhere around $500 is average for a foal of that description around here. Stock-type breeds, such as QH, Paint and Appaloosa are common around here. A foal of similar type with unknown breeding would be worth much less, and would possibly even be free. If both parents were from more popular lines, a stock-type foal could fetch maybe $800. I could see very well bred halter horses, and warmbloods, going for $1200+ as foals but that's a rare price and only for the best of best bloodlines. Some well-bred racehorses sell for millions as yearlings at local auctions, but this is, once again, very rare. Around here, the expense of buying a horse comes with prior training and experience. Foals are generally inexpensive to purchase, because they haven't been proven, and there is a long road of training ahead for the new owner before a great show or pleasure horse is made.

    Depends on the age. Depends what you are looking for in a horse. Foals usually are pretty inexpensive, unless show stock they average $200 to $800 - depending on size, breed and markings This is their 5 to 6 month weaning price.

    Many private farmers sell their riding stock for around $100, ponies $25.00 and draft $1200 and up. Again depending on markings and breed.

    We in farm and agriculture area, not a lot of show riding, mostly pleasure and trail riding. A lot of people riding their draft horses. - they are the all around horses in my area, Clydesdales, Shires, Percheron's, and Belgians. Gypsy Vanners and tinkers a overpriced, all the foals start around $2500 and up Again depending on the markings etc a foal can go in excess of $5500 at 6 months old.

    Hope this helps.

    In my area (south Carolina/North Carolina) babies like that go extremely cheep. I would say $300-600 if you're lucky.
