Money and Horses

[Berkeley]

In round figures, how much do you spend on your horse(s) per month?

I have one of p/livery and the other on grass. On top of the little extras I reckon I am paying out £550 per month. I initially budgeted for £200! Just goes to show how rubbish I am at budgeting! Would I have it any other way? No.

Vet fees this month are £400 – so all in all I am paying the best part of £1,000 for this month. Eeeeeeek!!!

Make me feel better someone!

Two on privately rented paddocks, I pay an average of £110 a month for the two. That includes field rent, farrier (average), feed, hay, insurance, wormers etc.

I used to pay circa £ 1500 for two when I was in London, having bought my own land now I pay a big fat 0.00.

The usual extra's though like farrier, wormers feed bedding ect prob £ 200 per month,

Oh the horrible question that makes you face up to reality, I currently pay on average £700 a month for one horse and with entry fees this would shoot up a tad more! I used to have 2 and pay £200 a month for them both - oh the good old days eh!

About 6 months ago i was paying about £450 for one, including lessons, comps, farrier etc
But recently I have really been cutting down and it has all come down to about £300 I have cut down lessons to once and month tho and been turning out myself rather than paying yard to do it

I pay about £320 a month at the moment as they have no feed

We pay roughly £200 a month on 3 horses. That includes stable and field rent (we rent a small holding from a friend), 4 round bales of hay, feed and little extras that the horses "need". My partner trims our horses feet as they are barefoot, altough going to have to start getting a farrier out for my mare now
Although this months vet bill is the best part of £600 as had our boys 2 boys gelded last month

Used to have mine of full livery, which was about £100 a week. I didn't work out for me, because I was working all hours to keep him, and then I couldn't ride him.

Plans at the moment are to renovate my old stables at home, build some more and a sandschool and keep the horses we get at home.
Bit of a pipe dream at the moment, but it's looking more promising than ever before. Fingers crossed.
Which means I'll have no livery outgoings, just everything else.
