As a breeder, we continue to hear from buyers who are looking for a made horse at a low fee. I decided it might be a good idea to break down the costs for people who might not be aware of all the expenses associated with developing a new riding horse.
So before a buyer even comes to see a young horse, the breeder has spent something like $15,000 to $20,000 and this does not include the everyday board cost of keeping the young horse until it sells, or the cost of carrying the mare. If you are interested in young horses with lots of training that have maybe gone to a few shows and have a record, add more cost and increase the price.

Breeding, raising and training sport horses for the sales market comes with many expenses that determine a fair purchase price.
