British-bred horses going on the cheap
Buyers are paying less for British-bred horses than for their Irish and European cousins, finds a new British Breeding report. British-bred horses are much cheaper to buy than foreign horses, according to a recent survey. An online questionnaire conducted on behalf of British Breeding, the breeding arm of the British Equestrian Federation (BEF), showed that the average price paid for horses bred in Britain is considerably lower than that for horses bred in mainland Europe. “The survey gathered evidence of a clear pricing difference between Britain and the rest of Europe,” explained independent researcher Georgina Crossman, who undertook the research.The average price for a British-bred horse stands at £2,662 – compared to £3,918 for an Irish horse and a whopping £7,652 for a horse from mainland Europe.
