is it me or do horse prices seem very...

[stressy]

odd at the min, horses appear to either be very cheap or really expensive with nothing much in between? especially on horsemart.

I was thinking the same thing, either ridiculously high £4000 for a yearling I saw earlier or really cheap! Mind you I have seen a few rather nice ones for around £1500 - 1700.

I agree, I'm seeing a lot of seemingly okay horses going for meat money, but at the same time there's leg-at-each-corner cobs going for 3-4k +

Seems a bit mental really

I find with the H&H magazine that most horses are way over priced, it even got me thinking, do people add a thousand or so onto the real value of their horse just because they are advertising in H&H.

I bumped into a friend that I've not seen for ages, who said he's been to the sales (all these years and I never knew he liked horses!), and there were horses going for a few hundred, and others going for tens of thousands, but nothing inbetween ....

I found when I was looking recently, anything below about £3k was quite young/green or older, mid to late teens. Anything in the middle just seemed very very expensive £4k+ for something that had done a little bit, but nothing extrodinary!
