Akhal-Teke horses on average cost between $7,000 to $40,000 in America, but on the international market, they can go for much more. Highly trained show horses and stallions may cost $50,000 to $100,000, and upwards.

Factors such as training, bloodlines, show record, color, conformation, and age can all play into the price of an Akhal-Teke.
