I LOVE horses and it’s my dream to have at least two someday. Im nowhere near getting them yet, I wanna do lessons for a few more years and I’m also going to take an online class with the USPC (united states pony club). also I’m not even old enough to move out yet lol.
Anyhow, how much is it yearly for two on my own property? I’ve tried looking it up but the sources say anywhere from $1,000 to $40,000 so i’m extremely confused abt yearly price. Since I don’t have to worry abt boarding my main concern is vet bills lol. i’m planning on moving somewhere like ohio, alabama, illinois, or indiana, wherever I can find the best property at the time. (mentioning it in case location affects price)
btw i’m not asking abt initial cost!!!! I know the horses themselves are expensive as well as the barn, fences, trailer, truck and everything else but this post is just about the YEARLY cost after I’ve got everything set up.
(PS take some pictures I’ve taken as a thanks for your help)
In AB, hay is between 100-180 a bale depending on weight, location, age and quality.
Seed bills, cutting, bailing, field maintenance, weather loss, storage… it’s cheaper to buy hay if you’re only planning a small field.
Then you need a way to feed large rounds. Bale truck? Bale feeder? Tractor? Net?

Oof. Yeah we don’t buy small squares, that’s the quickest way to add up costs — but we also have the facilities to manage them which aren’t cheap 😅
