Okay I asked this earlier but I wasn't as clear as I could have been, in my area the most expensive for pasture board is $500 the cheapest I found IS 300, I know how to trim a horse's Hooves and do most things with horses as it is I can't shoe a horse but I can trim their hooves pretty well, I know how to care for horses I grew up with horses and until 6 years ago we had horses but age got them and one got sick with colic and we lost her, at the beginning of last year I lost my donkey due to old age, I want to get a new horse in the future I only want to get one horse and maybe a miniature or a donkey as a companion, but since I have other animals that I don't really feel like listing let's just say I'm going to get three 1200 lb horses for the example, I do not have a high school diploma I'm 18 years old what would I have to do to live relatively comfortably have the horses and be able to travel, I'm not as big into travel as my boyfriend but he likes to travel if we get married I'm going to travel with him some, of course then there will be combined incomes but my animals will still be my soul responsibility for the agreement that we have since he does not really care about animals, I live in North Wilkesboro North Carolina though I can't say I will stay here forever this is just currently where I live, what do I need to make a year to afford this? The reason why I'm throwing the boarding in is if I do travel I will need someone to be able to care for my horse, so I would probably temporarily board them and pay them to care for my horse I prefer pasture board over stall boarding of course that is my personal preference, do you think this is doable? Like I said I won't have three full size horses they are just an example since I do have other animals mainly chickens and a few dogs I doubt they cost as much to care for as that many horses but I'd rather overshoot price-wise then under shoot, I do have plans to get my GED and currently would like to get a degree in equine and Ranch Management or become a farrier( the picture is not of my horse but my neighbors down the road, I recently trimmed her Hooves and they let me take a picture of her, her name is Josie she's 26)

I’d say you’d have to make 150k a year at least to afford multiple horses, still travel at least once a year, and ‘live comfortably’.

Things are only getting more expensive, so I’m being conservative with my estimate. I’m also not accounting for unexpected expenses that could be financially crippling if you don’t have the extra funds to back it up (vet bills, medical bills, family, etc).

Right now, I’d advise thinking in the short term. Get your GED, go to college or apprenticeship and go from there.
