Champion in what discipline? How old? What blood lines. There are many variables that would go into the cost of a champion stallion who was also black. For instance, black is a very uncommon color in Quarter Horses but very common in Tennessee Walkers or Frisians so if you were looking at a Quarter Horse you would be paying more just because he was black.

That depends on the breed, the horse's show or race record, his health, how potent he is ( in other words, how many mares can he cover in a single season, and what is their conception rate) as well as certain other traits, like his personality and his confirmation. In some breeds, such as the Arabian, black is a recessive color, and he would have to be tested to see if he can pass the color on to his offspring. Many other factors also go into a horse's price. One of these is the sentimental value the owner places on the horse. If the owner is really attached to the animal, you can expect to pay more than you would if the owner is either ready to sell or is merely indifferent to the horse. Hope that helps.

Probably the most expensive champion black stallion in history would have been Kentucky Derby winner Sunday Silence, who was sent to Japan when breeders here in the US didn't evince much interest in him. He became a perennial leading sire in Japan, and in his heyday was probably worth in excess of $50-75 million, possibly more, if he had ever come up for sale. But the owners of the black son of Halo would never have sold him.

Why a black stallion? Sure, black horses are striking to look at. But there's an old adage that "there never was a good horse a bad color." Finding a champion of any breed is difficult enough. When you put limitations on what color the horse has to be, you make it even harder.

Just for grins, let's see what horses your insistance on the color black would mean you'd reject:

For Thoroughbreds, you'd be turning down Secretariat, Man O' War, Native Dancer, Northern Dancer, Bold Ruler, Nijinsky II, Bernardini, Damascus, Dr. Fager, Hyperion, *Ribot, *Vaguely Noble, and Sadler's Wells, among others. You could make a case for Seattle Slew being a black stallion, although the reality is he was a dark, dark, dark brown horse with the tell-tale shadings of tan on his muzzle and flanks.

For Arabians, you'd be rejecting champions like the immortal *Bask, Bay el Bey, *Naborr, *Serafix, *Witez II, *Gwalior, Bay Abi, and a whole host of others, as fine horses as ever looked through a bridle and some of the most beautiful horses on the entire planet in the entire history of the world.

Quarter Horses, you'd be turning down horses like Poco Bueno, Impressive, and many, many, many others in disciplines like reining, cutting, western pleasure, and racing.

Black horses are pretty, no doubt about it, but when you limit yourself to one color, you make it harder to have a really superior animal. Plus, when you contemplate some of the other colors you're denying yourself...like a beautiful dark bay horse with dapples. Or a red bay with the coppery metallic sheen some of them have. Or a beautiful red chestnut, gleaming like red-gold. Palominos, liver chestnuts with flaxen manes and tails, buckskins, spectacular pintos and appaloosa horses; duns and grullos and greys gone silvery-white...man, there are no bad colors, and I love 'em all.

I think anywhere from 45 000 to near a million dollars. Honestly.

it depends on the breed, what discipline, how trained the horse is, the conformation, the age, and the horse's bloodlines.

a rough guess:
anywhere from $50,000-several hundred thousand
