Are geldings as valuable?

Community Answer

No. You would pay more for a stallion because he can produce, but geldings are more gentle.

Question

Is there a minimum age to own a thoroughbred?

Community Answer

A thoroughbred is no different than any other breed of horse. In many places, the minimum age to sign a sale contract for a horse is 18. Younger than that, your parent/guardian would have to sign for you.

That would cost $50,000-1,000,000, just to let you know. Plus $2,000 in hay and $30-$60/bag in grain.
