What is on the market
We track 1,090 horses currently for sale. About 78.2% show a dollar asking price; the rest say inquire or call for price. Only 34.7% include both a price and a scope in the ad, and those are the horses behind the medians below.
- 55 new listings since last week
- 31 removed (sold, leased, or pulled)
- 17 price changes in the latest scan
Roughly 14.7% of ads never show a public price. Those horses are excluded from the price tables.

Jumpers vs hunters
Jumpers and hunters are priced and marketed differently. Jumper ads usually list scope in meters; hunter ads use feet and inches. We report them separately so the numbers stay honest.

How we calculate these numbers
Asking price is what the seller posted, not a final sale price after negotiation.
Median is the middle of the market: half the horses are higher, half lower.
We only include horses with both a listed dollar price and a scope in the ad. POA, inquire, and blank height lines are excluded.

These figures describe the broad market. A Horse Scouts report covers one horse: verified record, pedigree, comparable listings, and whether the ask looks fair for that scope.
