Did I pay too much or too little for my Thoroughbred mare?
So, I bought my mare about 3 months ago. She is a Thoroughbred mare standing at 16.1 hands tall. She is 9 years old and trained in jumping. She has jumped a height of 5 feet max. She has been showed since she was 4 years old. Has won many awards. Has had no history of injures or illness. She has papers. She is very mellow, and very well mannered. She loves people and is a horse for anyone, beginners or advanced riders.
I paid $2,800 for her. I leased her for 3 months before I bought her and the money I paid from the lease went towards the purchase price. She had all her tack, blankets, halters, and grooming supplies included.
Was that too little, too much, or just the right price?
Here are my photobucket pictures of her. Her name is Little Apple Lou or Apple for short.

Wow! She is gorgeous!! I think you may have bought her for a little lower than she’s worth, but with the econnomy this way, it’s a great deal and you really look like you picked a great horse!! Congratulations!
