Im 19 and don't have my own yet. But the true cost (after everything else we need to spend on to just blooming live!) is so terrifying I'm worried I never will! Ideally I'd never like to be in debt and like to think I'm sensible with money. I would also never want to have to scrimp and save so much that it compromised my horse's welfare, or my own. But horses, debt and/or poverty seem to go hand in hand from what I see in real life and on here, at least for the average person... unless you're a lucky beggar with money, or work so hard you barely see the horse! I haven't spoken to many people that manage just fine with having horses in their life, both financially or with time!
Do people just spend way too much on their horses on unnecessary things or is it even the basic needs that are far too costly?
Scary subject I know.
Ps. looking for a share/to help out in Worcestershire if anyone knows of anything..
