They list breeders and as you can see, price varies hugely depending on quality and usability.($800 to $25,000,average moderate Paint,$3,000) linky!http://www.equine.com/horses/search_results.aspx?search_id=3bfdc7d2-768b-400e-bcd4-6d993e91b2f7
If your just beginning in horse world, know the cost of the horse is the least part! The more skill and knowledge you have ,the fewer mistakes in buying, keeping and feeding you will encounter.
Take a Pro shopping and know the money you spend on advice is better spent than regret!

They could cost anywhere from $1000 to $200 000, depending on the age, produce, movement, and tempermant of the mare. For example, a well trained show horse could be VERY big bucks, but a good old trail horse could be a managable $1000, which isn't very expensive in the horse world.

Get a guilding mares are moody. Paints are sometimes not as docile as some others but they have great personalities and spunk. They cost as much as you are willing to pay. I'm sure you can get one for as little as 5 or 6 hundred dollars or you could pay 10 thousand for one, it just depends on breeding and age and stuff. Horse dealing is sometimes shady. Ask someone who really knows horses to go with you so you don't get ripped off.

Paint is just a color, it is not a breed. These horses can cost anywhere from $500 to $1 000 000 It all depends on the horses training and abilities. You muct consider is this your first horse? What are you going to use it for? I would say spend up to $5000 on your first horse but no more unless you are really good. Since you do not really know much about the horses, I would suggest leasing first to get to know them. It is cheaper, and much easier.

You can even try http://www.equine.com
I have found a couple of my horses on there and its a great place to start so you can get an idea of what you are looking for. Show Horses will cost more then trail/pleasure horses though, but between $2500.00 to $4000 will get you a decent horse that could do the lower level shows and still be a pasture puff in the back pasture. Good Luck and much happiness in your search!

Ok, if you are not even confident that a female horse is a mare, I think you need to think twice about owning a horse. You need to learn a lot more about horses before you own one.
A horse is a lot of responsibility. My suggestion to you is to take riding lessons. Learn as much as you can. Muck out stalls. Learn to groom. Learn first aid. Learn the parts of a horse, learn the difference between a gelding, mare, stallion, colt, and filly. Learn about the different breeds. Attend a summer camp if you can.
Paints can range anywhere from free, to a million dollars. It depends on their training, their bloodlines, their skills. You can look online for horses for sale. If you do decide to buy a horse, make sure you spend time on the ground with it, groom it, make sure you can go in the stall with it, make sure you can go in the pasture with it, ride it, make sure it suits your riding skills/discipline and your future. Horses live to be over 25 years old. Be prepared for a long term commitment. You have to care for it everyday. If it is cold, if you are sick. You need to care for it. You need to ride it regularly. It needs to have shots, it needs a farrier. You need tack. You need food.
Please, do your research before you buy. Look at the different breeds, see what their personalities are like. Talk to people at a barn. Please please don't pick a horse because it is a "pretty color". The horse needs to be right for your personality and riding style. It can take a long time to find the right horse, but in the end, you will be glad you waited!
