how much would u pay for a horse?

Answer 1

Anything from £10 from a gypsy to hundreds of thousands for a racehorse. BUT you can sometimes get them on loan from people who are too busy to use them or having a baby but don't want to get rid of them and things like that. I think that if you were looking for a schooled horse which is fairly young and fit you'd be looking at around 1000-1500 pounds.

Answer 2

I would pay a lot of money for a horse because I love horses and they really can become your best friends. The only thing to look out for: some people will reduce the price b/c the horse doesn't have its papers. Make sure the horse has its papers!!!! Also, because of medical reasons or the horse has behavioral problems. If you are serious about getting a horse, find websites that sell horses in your area and go and try one out. Good Luck!

Answer 3

theres no way of answering this question with specific details! Depending on what age the horse is - the breeding - the intent of purpose - the possibilities are endless!
I would recommend the following price ranges though:

for an older schoolmaster type horse - between €500and €1000
this horse would be ideally used for hacking and basic work - not suitable for competing on. Probably aged from 13 upwards.

A young unbroken horse - depending on breeding these horses usually range between €1500 - up to a couple of hundred thousand depening solely on the breeding. An acomplished stallion bred with an acomplished mare's offspring will be very valuable.

A young horse aged between 4- 6 - broken - these animals again can reach between €1500 - €7000.00 They will have been broken - done a bit of everything and possibly have a few points for jumping or something similar.

Answer 4

This is completely dependent upon what I plan to use the horse for and how much money I have to spend. A good "pleasure" horse, that will be used primarily for trail riding will usually go for anywhere from $1000 to $3000 (depending upon it's age and breed), but if you're looking for a horse that can do some light showing you might spend a upwards of $4000 or $5000. This is also assuming that you are purchasing a horse that is already fully trained, you'll pay less for a baby, but you'll have to pay for training later.

Answer 5

Here where I am in PA it seems to depend on papering alot. They range anywhere from $200 - $3500 for a good roping or cattle horse. Lately the prices have been pretty reasonable you can get a good riding horse that will do just about anything you ask for as little as $500. It all depends on which auction you are at and what dealers are there to drive the prices up.
Just watch at the auctions, If it stands in the stall and doesn't pay any attention as you talk to it or at least look interested at all the goings on it is most likely buted up to behave that way you may end up with a not so great ride. Also if they have a ring if you see one you are interested watch them ride it in the ring see how it does around others. Does it work better for the women as opposed to the men. Watch for limps, look at its hooves.

Answer 6

Personally, I wouldn't pay anything at all. I don't want a horse.

If I did want a horse it would depend on the purpose for which it was required, the horse's condition and ancestry. Since I don't know much about horses, I'd ask an exert for advice

Answer 7

I'm looking to buy a horse and want to spend up to £2000 ideally. Less than £1000 and there's something wrong with it. Depends of course on the size you want and what activities you want to do. If you want much over 15hh and for eventing / competing, you're looking at a lot more (£4000 all the way up to £20,000 and more), but if you just want to go for hacks in the countryside then £1000-2000 should find you an equine companion that's adequate for your needs.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Answer 8

It all depends on lineage, breed and over all health of the horse. We've paid up to $10,000 for a good quarter horse stallion. But the cost doesn't stop there. You have to pay the vet and buy the food so actually you are at an on going payment for your horse.

Answer 9

Sometimes the Horse just comes to you. I wanted my own horse for four years and when we moved to the country I just couldn't wait. My sister found Blaze and Beatrice. Blaze a QH/Arab and Beatrice a Standard Donkey. FREE!:) We got them and they looked awesome for a horse person who hadn't seen a horse in a week. Beatrice was Twenty-four with a pretty sloped back. Blaze was Thirty-five and looking very healthy, except for a few wrinkles and gray hair(not kidding about that either!:). We have had both for One whole year and they are still healthy and happy. Sometimes the right horses for you fall into your hands. Blaze is a great teacher, now soon I plan on getting a younger horse to show.
Goodluck

Answer 10

the most i would pay for a horse would be like 2,000-2,500 dollars depending on the history of the horse. we bought a $1,500 overo paint mare that was an all around horse but she had navicular deasise and so her legs were hurting her and she bucked my dad. we have also bought a quarter horse for $1,200 and he was the best horse i had ever had. never bucked kicked or bit anyone. and he had a perfect health record.
