How to read these numbers

Asking price is what the seller put on the ad — not what the horse sold for.

Median is the middle price when sorted low → high.

Days listed is how long horses still for sale have been listed so far — not days until sold.

Figures come from Horse Scouts weekly scans of major public sale listings. Individual sources can lag when a refresh is blocked.

Verify the horse behind the ask

Ads state a height and a price. Public records and comps often tell a different story. Horse Scouts pulls show record, pedigree sources, and comparable listings into one shareable report.
