60k :O

They can pull a hefty price if the right person or people want them bad enough. I have two whole herds built around breeding black chestnut. If I find a foundation of good quality to replace one I already have that's not so good you better bet I'm grabbing it up no matter what the cost. That can pay off nicely for the owner if two people like myself are looking at the same horse. I don't sell my babies for anywhere near the price I pay to put my herd together. It's all for my pure enjoyment. Breeders like myself don't normally sell our foals either. We guard our lines pretty carefully. I think the line is more important than the color really. The color is pretty common and can pop up just about anywhere but to get a good foal from a carefully guarded line can really help someone out who wants to breed the color and strive for good horses. I find the enjoyment from working from the ground up and putting in a lot of work to breed good foals. My SO has even started asking me how my breeding is going lol. I also like giving people pretty show ponies in a color they might really like but don't want to breed too. It's all fun.

It's probably also to do with the fact that they're mares. Most people sell the liver stallions they don't want but keep the mares that they have. But to think, I sell my 2G livers for 3-4k!

The short answer is they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. In this instance, yes, they were worth that much. :)

Yeah i do understand that which is the main reason i sold them.. i dont want to use inconsistent horses unless they are super special but purchasing barns are more important to me at the moment then changing consistency..
I was just really shocked at how high the price went and just wasnt sure if it was the norm for livers put in auction
