whatever you can get someone to pay for her.
sorry for such a smartass answer, but it's the truth. i had a fantastic jumper that i only managed to get $1300 for, and i've seen some poor dope pay $15,000 for a bad-moving, bad-jumping, half-lame horse. Were they actually worth $1300 or $15,000? Who's to say? I'm sure the guy who just made 15 grand would say it was worth every penny.

Regarding your mare, her value is one of the most subjective kind. She is not from a racing producing family, nor bred to be a producer, so her value as a racing Thoroughbred broodmare is virtually nil. So we move on to the horse herself. Is she attractive? Tall, good conformation? Nice mover? How much training has she had?

Regarding the post above this one, I have seen similar things when it came to show barn trainers selling horses.. a lame Warmblood sold by a trainer who pockets half of the sale price will outsell a sound talented Thoroughbred sold by its owner 15 to 1.

she is attractive and a pretty good mover. im not too good on the whole conformation thing. she is probably about 16.1-16.3 hands. she has had a foal 4-5 years ago that is showing great potential in barrels and a couple of other rodeo events. i was looking at her pedigree and was wondering what all this meant:
RENOWN (USA) M, 1993 DP = 7-2-7-2-0 (18) DI = 2.27 CD = 0.78 Career Earnings: Unraced

i know it's her name and all that kind of stuff, but what does the DP=7-2-7-2-0 (18) DI=2.27 CD=0.78 mean?

thanks for the help!

Those numbers relate to her dosage profile. They are pretty much meaningless.
To get the smiley face to NOT appear, you have to click on the box that says "Disable Smilies in this post" before you hit Submit.
