What is a typical price for a Friesian?
As with many purebred and desirable animals, the price for a Friesian from a quality breeder will surpass that of a different caliber horse. As a general rule of thumb, prices will range from $10,000 and up, depending on the horse s breeding, degree of training, judged rating, and gender. Another factor in pricing is the simple principle of supply and demand. Friesians continue to gain in popularity, yet there are not that many available for sale (the general estimate is that there are about 35,000 to 40,000 purebred Friesians worldwide, with only 4,000 to 5,000 in the USA).
