Pricing my QH

Question
Hi!  I am hoping to sell my 4 yo registered QH mare in the near future, but I'm not sure how I should price her.  I will be selling her in southern and/or central california.  I had her started for 3 months with a professional cutting trainer.  He said if I had sold her just started at 2 yrs old I could have gotten 10-15000 for her, and if I trained her as a pleasure horse (which i could not afford) and showed her a few times I've heard I could have gotten upwards of 100000 for her.  He says shes the best mover he has ever seen and would make a great pleasure horse. Others have told me that she could go all the way to the top in pleasure.  Her gaits are amazing, perfectly cadenced, even trot, she really gets up under herself in the lope, and her conformation is impeccable.  She is a sorrel mare, i think just over 15hh, and she has some great bloodlines.  I have worked with her under the direction of my trainer up to now.  She is a bit green right now as I didnt have much time to ride her last quarter due to school, but once I or potential buyers work with her she will be fine.  If you think you have any idea as to what she is worth i would really appreciate it! If you need any more info please just let me know.  Thank you!

Hi Katelen :)
She sounds like a great horse! I would say if you wanted to sell her right away you might get somewhere in the range of $10,000 to $15,000. If you start taking her to shows and she gets blues and cash winnings, the price for her could be as high as $20,000 and up. I have also seen horses like her that have been sold for $40,000. Her bloodlines are also something that will drive up her price. The best thing to do is take her to shows, get her noticed, and if she does well, people might make you a very nice offer :) Good luck!
