However in case you’re questioning: How a lot is a Fresian horse precisely?
Wonderful, we’re curious too. “Friesian” horse sounds fancy (this explicit breed originates from Friesland in The Netherlands, FYI), so it’s in all probability an costly horse, proper? In keeping with Horse Is Love, Fresian horses can value anyplace from $3,000 to $50,000. Pedigreed horses (which is what the Kardashian-Wests in all probability personal) vary anyplace from $19,900 to $47,900 (or extra, relying on the horse). “Cheaper” Friesian horses are often older and untrained.
EquineNow, a web site that reveals horses on the market, you possibly can see horses going from $29,900 to $54,900.
Kim and Kanye may have paid over $700,000 for his or her 14 Friesian horses alone (thoughts you that they personal “mainstream” horses as effectively). Evidently, the ridicule Kim is receiving is truthfully deserved.
