So I have been thinking the past two days......
What is the average (yearly) cost of owning, lets say one horse. All expences, together.
Lets say, you keep him on your property, he eats average price feed, with supplements that cost $75 every three months. Blah blah blah, I guess you can guess the rest or make your own assumptions.
What do you think it would be?
I know its a hard thing to figure, with prices being different in many regions, but just give it a guess.


(Don't chew me out and say how expensive horses are, I KNOW, I own 5!!!)

Well as we all know, "the purchasing cost is the cheapest part of all".

As for the $75 on supplements, I really don't know I pulled that number out of my butt XD My horses have never really needed supplements, and for my older mare's joints we give her straight up human glocosamine (spelling fail) pills. Our vet has OK-ed it and it's a looot cheaper than buying Fluid-Flex all the time. It's about 10 dollars a bottle, and lasts about...a month and a half per horse? Depending on how many capsules you give. And my one gelding used to take vitamn E liquid gels when he was recovering from EPM. It made his mane and tail grow sooo long and he regained all of his muscle mass and beautiful coat.
