How much does a horse cost in 1863?

Answer 1

The war years saw a shortage of horses by both the blue and the grey. This would inflate the price of a good saddle horse. A single saddle horse could cost $75 to $200 during and immediately after the war. Sometimes you could get a deal by buying more than 1 but x the amount by 2 and that's about what it would cost to purchase a good horse.

Answer 2

According to an article written around 1900, a thoroughbred yearling then cost around $ 500. Today that price would have a value in 2016 dollars of $ 15,000, simply calculating inflation since then. Measured against the much lower standard of living in 1900 compared to today's, a $ 500 expenditure then would compare to a $ 37,000 expenditure now.

Anything from a few shillings for an old hack to hundreds of pounds for a proven racehorse.
