What is the best, most expensive, horse you can buy. (not racing)?

Question

I want to buy a really nice expensive horse. I dont know, maybe something like a big white stallion, whatever is considered to the be best. Any info would help.

Answer 1

It's not the looks of the horse but rather it's pedigree that makes them expensive. I would strongly suggest a quarter horse if you want to ride. They have an excellent temperment and can be trained for western, english riding, trail or cutting. Stallions are usually very high strung and might not be suitable if you are a beginner rider. Geldings and mares are much more docile and easier to handle. When you go to buy your horse try to find someone that knows a lot about horses to go and help you pick one out or get a vet to check the horse out first. You can spend several thousands of dollars on a horse that is not sound if you don't know what to look for. Good luck in your search.

Answer 2

If you just want to spend money look at the yearling sales at Keenland.
There some of those horses will go for over a million dollars.
They are thoroughbred but have never raced and could be used for any type of riding you wanted to do.
Really expensive does not mean good horse. Some of the best horses I have owned have been the cheaper ones.
The best one is one I paid only $1500.00 for.

Answer 3

Pure breed Spanish "Cartujano" horses are considered to be some of the most spectacular in the world.

They have been bred for centuries by the Cartujano monks, and are worth a lot of money whether male or female.

These are the horses you see at Spanish horse shows, with the curved necks. they tend to be very tall (I own a Cartujano mare, she is 18 hands).

They are wonderful to ride, very easily taught to "dance", and are beautiful beasts.

"Raza Española", which literally means "Spanish breed" are also beautiful, but can be smaller, their necks are not quite as curved, and they tend to be cheaper.

Answer 4

Cost of the horse does not determine its true worth. First of all, learn horsemanship! Get 'hands on' experience. Seek out 'horse people' and learn from them. Be realistic about your ability to properly care for a horse, your experience, what you want to do with a horse, etc.. Read horse magazines such as Equus, Horse & Rider, etc....

Buy a horse that fits your level of ability. Good luck.....

Answer 5

What are you using this horse for?

Good hunter jumper/dressage horses can be very expensive. I've seen them up to $150,000.

You can also get a world quality quarter horse for very expensive. If you get one good enough, they usually run near $50,000. Need someone to show it for you? Hehe
