Here is a realistic look at what it costs to properly care for one healthy horse for one year not counting cost of facility, electric, water etc.

 

Expenses:

 

Bales of Hay (these prices vary depending on the market)

... One Bale of hay Bermuda $18.95 or alphalpha $16.99 or Timothy $20.99

(One horse will eat approximately 1/2 of a bale of hay per day

Total approximate cost of hay for one year $3,456.00 

 

One 50 lb. bag of horse feed $15.00

(Each horse receives 1 - 1.5 lbs of grain twice a day.)

Total cost of feed for one year $300.00 

 

De wormer $9.00 

(Each horse needs to be de wormed every 8 weeks.)

Total cost of de wormers for one year $59.00 

 

Farrier (trims horses' hooves) $90.00 - $100.00

(Horses' hooves need to be trimmed every 3 - 4 months.)

Total approximate cost for farrier one year $400.00 - $600.00

 

Dentist $110.00

(Horses teeth should be filed at least once a year, general maintenance only.)

Total approximate cost of dentist for one year $110.00 

 

Veterinarian Vaccinations $244.00 

(This cost is for vaccinations only, which are needed in the Spring and Fall.)

Total cost of Veterinarian Vaccinations for one year $244.00

 

Veterinarian Expense = $550 per year/per horse average (keep in mind that this is for a healthy horse and a horse with any major health issues can dramatically raise the cost of Medical Care)

 

Misc. Expenses $22.92 x 12 months

Total approximate cost of misc expenses for one year $275.00

 

Expenses add up very quickly total Basic Food, Medical and Misc. Expenses
