Akhal-Teke is considered one of the rarest horse breeds and most people recognize them for that remarkable coat with the metallic look.

4. Clydesdale
The Clydesdale horse is one of the most wonderful, disciplined and peaceful breeds in the world. This breed is originated from the farmhouses of Clydesdale, a county in Scotland. Clydesdale horses are one of the biggest breeds in the world who are no longer risked and can be easily found in various states such as the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia. Every Clydesdale horse owner shows them off very proudly and we can’t blame them because everyone should be satisfied and honored to own such a beautiful breed.

Listings are accessible all the time, with most horses in this breed estimated around $10,000 or less. There are some places where you can find them trading for as little as $1,000. That first cost might seem intriguing for everyone who loves them, but you have to keep in mind that a normal Clydesdale horse is going to consume a considerable amount of feed every day compared to other breeds. But, of course, they are worth it!
5. Lipizzan
I’m pretty sure you all have heard about the Lipizzaner breed. This radiant horse is known for its glistening pale coat and finesse at performing spectacular dressage. You must have heard about them firstly from Disney’s classic movie Miracle Of The White Stallions. But many years before the story that the famous movie shows, the Lipizzaner breed dates way back to the 16th century, where they were first bred as the personal mounts of the Hapsburg monarchy. A lot of people get confused but the Lipizzan’s color is gray, not white and many of you probably don’t know that they are initially born dark and gradually lighten with age, not achieving the “white” coat for which they have become popular in the whole world.
