If your gelding is sound and registered, with good ground manners too, and has a light mouth, I would not take less than $1000 for him because it sounds like he is kid safe and would make someone a fantastic first horse and he’s a great age for that.
I would ask $800 for the Morgan cross mare; she’s not purebred, she is somewhat older, and she might be more horse than the average rider would be ready for; driving is a bonus. She would be worth more if she was over 15 hands and more still if she were over 16 hands but you didn’t mention her height. However, the market is low and she’s a middle-aged crossbred so she might not even bring that much depending on what state or country you live in. I would look for a buyer who rides English and or drives, for this mare and take the best offer whom I felt would give her a good home and appreciate her.

For Blazer, i’d say anything between 1200-1500.
For Ebony, because she is older, i’d ask 600-800. But you might have a hard time getting rid of her,since she is older.

Pictures and/or videos would help because we would be able to see conformation and potential. Judging from the description I would say about $1500-$2000 for Blazer and about $900 for Ebony. What under saddle training does Ebony have?

prolly for blazer i would go with $1500ish, and for ebony i would aim around $950ish…always aim higher than you think you’ll get and accept the highest offer you get…you may just get higher than you thought you would lol
i’m not just some random go for the cash person—i have a pony and am looking to sell him possibly too

My Chevy Blazer I would start out at around 5,000. Going off leg bridle-less is evidence of some real training. The fact that he has been shown, can jump and drive are also key selling points.
For Ebony you Didn’t mention anything special about her, but she can ride and drive which is a good thing. So I would pay no more than 1200 for her.
