Now it’s time to compare the median averages. To get to the following figures the prices were listed from highest to lowest and the price that sat in the middle of this group became the median average. The median average for all four year old’s was $12,000, $2,000 less than the median average for cutting bred horses which returned a value of $14,000. All mares had a median average of $14,000, with the cutting bloodlines median average being $25,000. Four year old Geldings median average was $9,000 which was $1,500 less than the geldings with full cutting bloodlines at $10,500. There weren’t enough stallions to come up with a reliable median or mode average.
Those who are looking for mode averages which is the most common price paid for four year old’s, overall it was $15,000, Four year old geldings had a mode average of $6,000 and four year old mares $15,000.
The numbers were too low to compare mode averages for the cutting bloodlines but for mares it was $6,500.
