Will someone look at my sales pen and tell me what you think Turquoise and Gravy are worth ( I just put a filler number for them idk what to sell them for)
I honestly just don't understand what the prices depend on? Like what makes a horse cheap or expensive? Thx ☺️
Hi!
It honestly depends on what each individual player prefers as to what they're willing to pay for a horse. Generally though, players would mostly be looking for all good/excellent breed standards (so the bars above the horse would be all green) and either high performance stats or a high training boost (or preferably both).
There are also a number of other things different players may or may not consider, such as:
- The number of offspring the horse has had, especially if the breed is limited to 5 offspring;
- How far back the horse's family tree goes;
- Whether there is inbreeding in the horse's family tree;
- The age of the horse;
- The coat colour / genetics (horses that carry certain genes may be worth more, even if they don't show;
- If the horse is a crossbreed / grade;
- What discipline the horse is trained in and what show tier it has reached;
- What halter rank the horse has reached;
- Past show / halter / career performance...
I don't know too much about pricing horses, but you might struggle to sell both Turquoise and Gravy. Gravy doesn't have the best breed standards but he is a decent level, rarer coat colour (skewed roan) and had good performance stats.
Being a grade horse, Turquoise can't be halter shown which can make leveling up a bit slower (particularly as foals can only be halter shown). Once foal trained, the training boost would only be 5, so this is a lot lower than the recommended minimum of 10. Even though he's a little cutie and has genes that aren't normally in thoroughbreds, I'm not sure how many people would be looking for a varnish roan (unless they could use it for their own grade projects). At the moment I'd guess he possibly isn't worth very much at all, maybe less than $1,000? Other players may have a different opinion.
Thank you! I also just caught a wild paso fino! I think it has tigers eye? Idk what to sell her for either but I'm excited! First wild ive caught so far!

Yay, congratulations!!
If she shows tigers eye, you'll be able to see it listed on the genetics tab (right down the bottom, under white markings):
