A Trakehner horse may cost $5,000-$7,500 as a foal and $10,000-$30,000 as an active competitive horse. Expect to pay between $25,000 and $50,000 for a young horse that is being trained for the show ring. The price of a Trakehner varies depending on its quality and how well it is bred. A lower-quality horse or one that has many recessive traits will be cheaper than one that is highly bred. Also, the price goes up if the horse is being trained for competition. There are several different types of horses used in Trakehner competitions. The most common ones are coldbloods and half-breeds. Coldbloods are pure-bred Trakehner horses that are mostly black or brown in color. They can also be gray or bay. Some have white markings on their faces or legs. They are born with their eyes closed and must be broken in by hand before they can be ridden. This process usually takes about six months. Half-breeds are horses that are combined from two different breeds: e.g., half-Arabian, half-Trakehner. They can be any color other than completely white or black.
