I might be being a bit inflexible here, or vendors might be taking the piss. How can you know? They want double the amount I think he's worth, but of course they know I (or we really, he is/will be my daughter's) really really want him. For lots of reasons I think they would prefer us to have him than to sell him on the open market, we'll keep him where he is, they can still take him to the 2014 championships he qualified for this weekend.
Pony/horse (15hh) is an absolute sweetheart, he's 7, current owners could easily make him worth something closer to the amount they are asking but right now we both know nobody will pay more than I'm offering. He was a disaster to hunt and to SJ in an indoor arena, but he is doing very well in XC for example and in all other respects is perfect.
Should I dig my heels in and prepare to walk away and look for something else, which will already be quite sad and difficult as daughter is getting attached, or think about him in terms of what he is worth to us rather than what he would fetch out there, today?
grateful for any thoughts
