Horses come in a variety of qualities, color, speed, durability, etc. They range in price from 500 gold for the slowest, up to 5000 for the fastest. Listed here in order from lowest to highest, along with the price and where to purchase.
Paint Horse (slowest) - 500 gold - Leyawiin, Five Riders Stables and Bruma, Wildeye Stables Bay Horse - 1000 gold - Skingrad, Grateful Pass Stables and Bravil, Bay Roan Stables Chestnut Horse - 2500 gold - Chorrol, North Country Stables White Horse - 4000 - gold - Anvil, Horse Whisperer Stables Black Horse (fastest) - 5000 gold - Cheydinhal, Black Waterside Stables You pay a fixed price that can't be haggled, then one animal will be renamed 'My whatever colour Horse'. There are two horses you can acquire without paying for them or stealing them. Prior Marborel's slow but steady Paint Horse is given to you at the start of the main quest if you speak to him about assistance. Partway through the Dark Brotherhood quests, Lucien Lachance gifts you with a black beast called Shadowmere - this horse is the fastest and meanest thing on four hooves and gets very enthusiastic in fights! There are also rumors about a unicorn… ( see thread in the forum of www.elderscrolls-oblivion.com) ** Alas since the site was hacked, the old forum is gone, so now its only a rumor ;) ** (There is a console trick that allows you to rename your horse to whatever name you'd prefer: setactorfullname xxxx - if you use a name with a space, then the name needs to be in quotes, thus: setactorfullname "xxx xxxx" )
