This is all pretty interesting!In todays market, I would say about $5,000 is the average price mark for a decent horse. We just bought our 4 year cow bred mare for $4,000. She is registered and has worked the feed lots in Oklahoma. She is originally from Texas. As a 4 year old she is pretty laid back and has been exposed to quite a bit in her life already. She isn't afraid of much of anything.
You can find grade horses for $2500-$3500 but you are taking a gamble on the age. The market is just crazy right now. I would say if you don't have at least $5,000 in your pocket, you are going to have to settle for something that needs a little more work, is grade, and may have a few quirks. Which is fine, I just recently bought a grade mare for cheap and she is actually pretty cool! Horses are always a gamble.
