prices?

what are horses going for? mainly Belgians broke under 8. bare horses. I’ ve been seeing them for 4K plus. did know if that was high or what cause of hay and what not

I’m in Quebec Canada and there’s lots of decent grade horses for sale around $2000 each. Teams are hard enough to come by and tend to be selling anywhere upwards of $3500. I have a nice broke gelding coming 6 years old advertised at $2500 and the phone isn’t ringing off the hook or anything. We have hay selling for around $3.50-$4.00 a small square bale.

I assume that your talking the CAD $ or US $? hay around me is really high in WI. old small sqrs are 4-5 a bail. nice hay is bringing 8 dollars. I got some older hay from a guy that just got a house and barn and wanted it cleaned out. the hay I would say wasnt older that 2 years old and had no mold or anything like that I paid 2 a bail. It wasn’t for anything special just to get a few young stock through the winter. I got some really high quality hay that would be like really good milking cow hay for 45 a big sqr but I lucked out on that deal cause I worked for the guy now and then and helped him build a shop and I got it all early in the fall.

I just didn’t know what teams were bring. last spring I paid 2450 delivered for a team, first one didnt know much about horses and the guy lied to me. said they were 12 and 14 the one is has to be knocking on 20 and the other I’d say is about 15. I was new didnt know much of anything. was more around mini’s. I learned from my mistake and know much more now. I just want to make sure that it was a safe deal for 4500 for a team of younger broke horses. they are lites. 16H.

thanks for the reply chris.

Seems like a logical price. I just paid 8000 for 5 and 6 year olds a little over a ton and well broke.
