I am finishing a 4-H horse project record book and we have to appraise our own horses. I am having trouble deciding how much my horse is worth.

Here are his attributes so you can help me:

* Good basic conformation, he is not particularly spectacular looking, but he is structurally sound and nice to look at.

* Good quiet personality, but hes no plug..he knows when to act "on"

* Not good with young children, but is very good for children about 10 and older.

* He is a winner at halter in local shows and has placed well in large classes at AMHA shows.

* A winner and consistent performer in hunter.

* A winner and consistent performer in obstacle

* Well started as a driving horse, but has not yet been shown.

* Completely traffic and road safe, calm at exhibitions with fireworks and as been excellent in parades.

By the time my project is over he should have really good foundation in driving and will have competed in a few shows.

If you owned this horse, what would you value him at?
 
Is this a gelding? Does he have any "special" color such as overo or buckskin or appy? Is one of his parents a National Champion?

If he is an average-colored, average-bred gelding I would price him at $1,000 - $1,500

But it is very subjective, so who knows?

He is an average colored, average bred gelding. I don't like calling my own horse average, but that is basically what he is.
 
I know it's hard to call a horse "average" but there has to be a range. Each horse is so very different which is why it is so difficult to put a price on them and it is so very subjective.

I would probably price him around the $1500 maybe $2000 mark, depends. If you could post pictures that would help. Hope this helps! ~Anna~
 
Here are some pitcures of him. I am not planning on selling him, I just need to know his value so I can enter it in my 4-H project book.
