I too was taught this way of thinking by my father....you can only really count the initial cost of the horse...if  that is true....I am still ahead on the investment....and like Angie said, cost of the "misc" due to not having the horse to begin with...like, drugs, re-hab, lawyers, etc.

Bob Rosser, an old cowboy who had ridden as a hand on some of the really
big ranches in the west, including the King Ranch, once told me that when I
compute the investment I have in a horse, I can't count "the cost of
operation" - feed, farrier, vet, board. He considered those things just
part of the cost of using a horse.

I've used his thinking to justify some of the expense of riding "using"
horses.
