How much does a thoroughbred horse cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on where you get it from. At auctions they can be as low as $50, at rescues they can be anywhere from $200-$1200, and from breeders they can be as much as $2,000. It depends on the horse's bloodlines, abilities, personality, etc.

Thoroughbreds can also be high-level sport horses, and in that case, as with all horses at that level, can have a value of upwards of $200,000.

Where horse racing is most popular in the world and how?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No , auto racing and soccer are the most attended sports world wide.

Actually, there are no official statistics for the global attendance of horse racing. However, there is a very strong case to be made that horse racing is, indeed, the most attended sport in the world. Horse racing is very popular across 6 continents and routinely ranks among the most popular sports in those countries where statistics are compiled. In addition to the many large horse racing venues located in/near the world's major cities there is an uncounted universe of smaller tracks serving towns and villages across the globe. Horse racing gains a particular attendance advantage over other sports due to two major factors. Firstly, the legal gambling aspect attracts many people and the betting activity conveniently takes place within the racing facility. Secondly, unlike most other sports, in most countries horse racing knows no off-season. Wherever you are in the world, winter, spring, summer or fall, a horse race is likely within a reasonable driving distance.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'Brumby' is a general term for an Australian wild or feral horse. Brumbies are not a specific breed of horse, but descendants of horses that were released, or that escaped, into Australian bushlands when the early settlers arrived.

Brumbies are found throughout Australia, from the harsh outback, to the coastal regions (and Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island), to the Alpine country of southern NSW and northern Victoria.

What is the breed of horse that is always chesnut?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two breeds of horses that are always chestnut; the Suffolk Punch and the Haflinger. The Suffolk Horse (as it is also referred to) is an English breed of drought horse developed in the early 16th century. Suffolk Punches generally stand 16.1 to 17.2 hands tall and weigh 1,980 to 2,200 pounds. They are always chestnut in color, and white markings are rare and generally limited to small areas on the face and lower legs.

The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut in color, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant. They have many uses, including light draft, harness work, and various under-saddle disciplines such as endurance riding, dressage, equestrian vaulting, and therapeutic riding. They are also still used by the Austrian and German armies for work in rough terrain.

Haflingers come in shades ranging from a light gold to a rich golden chestnut or liver hue. The mane and tail are white or flaxen. It's height is between 13.2 and 15 hands (54 and 60 inches).

What does the name of the horse breed mustang mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mustangs are not mean horses.

A Mustang is a herd animal..they love interacting with other horses.

Mustangs only seem "mean" because they are used to dealing with herd dominance

when they must fight to decide who the leader is.

which in any breed of horse...they will do if multiple animals are put together.

it decides who will breed...who will eat first...who will lead...and so on.

If you are thinking that your mustang horse is mean to you..if you own one...that means he/she does not trust you in your "herd" and your horse is showing dominace over you. In order to gain a mustangs trust you must first let the animal know that you are not going to harm it. Horses are prey animals so the gentleing process may take awhile. Horses are also Fight or Flight animals...they act upon instinct. if you put them in any situation where they become scared or skittish they might attack you.

I own a mustang that i adopted from the blm.

after gaining his trust...i have learned that mustang horses

will have a stronger bond with one person than many people. most domestic horses

will let anyone approach them and pet them/ride them etc.

mustangs like to stick to one or very few people handleing them.

But after i gentled my mustang. He has become the sweetest...well behaved horse

i have ever owned. not to mention he is a looker!
