Answer 5

Horses was a rich man animal. It required a lot of care as they do now.  I Would say that in the late 1800's the average horse would cost you about 10 to 50 dollars, a well bread horse would cost about a 100 to 1000 dollars if he came from good blood line more if he had papers to trace his blood line.  An ample amount of money back then 20 a month to 50 a month. You must remember that you worked long and hard sun  up to sun down and in most cases had to bring your own food and tools or pay a small fee to use the  tools for work.

A horse was worth 3 chickens, 2 pigs, and a dairy cow.
