$100 per month for a good quality feed and grass hay ($1200
per year per horse)
$20 per horse every 5-6 weeks for a foot trim. $60-$80
if shod. ($200-600 per year, per horse)
$10 every three months for wormer ($40 per year per horse)
$100 for fall shots (EWT, Rhino Flu, West
Nile) ($100 per horse)
$150-200 for spring shots and teeth float (EWT, Rhino Flu, West Nile, Rabies, Coggins) ($150-200 per horse)
$25 every three months or so for De-Sanding ($100 per horse
per year)
Then, assume another $50-$100 a month for incidentals.
That comes up to a total of $1840-$2340 per year for the basics. That
doesn’t include the tack or competitions, etc.
Ouch. Perhaps I shouldn’t have added that up….

own to try and find the source of the mystery lameness. That’s
extra)
