What would it cost to transport a horse from British Colombia to Colorado?

I have never had to move a horse long distance before, and I don't really know how to find this out online. I don't need anything specific, just ball park. Is it 50 dollars? 100? 5,000? 10,000? 100,000? I really have no idea, and I am having trouble finding out via google. I am thinking of buying a horse from Canada this summer, and I would like to know ballpark how much getting him home will be.

Update:

It is surprisingly easy to import horses into Canada. You don't need a permit, quarantine or anything! Just an inspection at the boarder and some vet certificates. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that out.

    Why not ride your horse from BC to Colorado? The ride will be scenic and it'll give you two time to bond.

    Your biggest problem is going to be the US government and getting the horse into the country. For transport figure 2-3 dollars a mile minimum.

    You could ask these people: http://elitehorsetransport.com/

    Their contract.
