A horse itself is not the expensive part. The expensive part is boarding if your town doesn't allow horses in your yard. The horse usually costs around $5,000, but it depends how good the horse is.

If you live in California, the prices might be higher than they would bein Texas because of how much land there is.

How much does a show jumping Arabian cost?
There are many things that affect the price of a horse (of any breed). The following things are considered when selling a horse: Age: The age of the horse is a big factor when considering the price. A very young, unbroke horse (usually in the 0-3) range will usually be cheaper than an older trained horse. Most show-jumpers are considered "in their prime" at around 5-8 years old, which is when you can expect them to be the most expensive. Training: A horse that has more training is obviously worth more. There are many different levels of show-jumping going from the simple 4-H shows all the way up to the Grand-Prix level. Obviously, the training level and ability of the horse will vary the price. Temperament: Many people will pay more money for a horse that is calm and sane. A horse that is calm and sane in the ring will be worth more than a horse that is likely to flip out at the slightest thing. Lineage: A horse with amazing lineage and a proven parentage will be worth a lot more than an Arabian horse that someone bred in there backyard. Similarly, having the papers for the horse (to prove its lineage) will make it worth more. Conformation: A properly built horse will be worth more than a horse with poor conformation. That is because horses with proper conformation will be able to more (physically) than horses with poor conformation before becoming inhibited. Taking all of that into consideration: A show jumping Arabian can have a varying cost ranging anywhere to free (for a unbroke horse) up to and over $100,000+ (for a grand-prix jumper).
