The thrill of spotting a rare breed is never forgotten by an equestrian. What you’ve only seen in videos, books, or even just heard of is suddenly right before your eyes. Perhaps, if you’re lucky, you can even get up close and personal with a rare breed!
For most equestrians, seeing the most beautiful horse in the world, exotic horse breeds, or rare horse colors,is either a once-in-a-lifetime experience or they never get to see one at all. Why are the prettiest horses in the world so elusive?
It’s due to their rarity. A horse becomes rare depending on whether the demand for them is higher than what’s in supply;the more unique and rare the equine is, the higher the price it will fetch.
Several factors come into play to call a horse “rare.” It may be due to any number of aspects whether it’s their dwindling numbers, specific breed, lineage or provenance, unique look, coveted horse color, or exclusivity. Nonetheless, horses are investments you can ride or that can serve as a companion.
