Well, what do you guys think makes a horse carry that much worth? His performance, speed, age, or maybe other quality. But in my opinion, I think it is a combination of so many factors that predicts his price. The name of the person who is selling the horse also contributes to one of the factors.
Generally, the most expensive horses are racehorses. If a horse is really young and fast, it can win millions of dollars as prize money. However, not all of the expensive horses are actually racehorses. With their unique qualities, their age, and their dressage, they can earn the category of the most expensive ones.
Let’s have a look at some of the most famous yet expensive horses in the world:
1. Fusaichi Pegasus – $70 million.
