cost for a grass horse?

[xxMidnightxx]

I'm hopefully getting my first pony or horse soon. it'll be kept on grass livery and won't be ridden. I kinda worked the costs out as follows -

livery - £20 p.w.
hay if not provided - help please??
vaccinations - £70 per year
hoof care - £20 for a trim every six to eight weeks
worming - £10 every six to eight weeks

Hay is about £4.00 a bale roughly..
Dentist
Insurance,
Feed,
Rugs,

my 2 yr old costs me

£65 per month livery
£20 feed - high fi and fast fibre he shares feed with mare, it normally lasts a month for them both
£20 trim, 8 weeks
£25 insurance
£10-20 wormer, every 3 months
£16 a month vet plan, which covers vaccs, teeth and sedation once a year, a worm count and equest pramox wormer + 50% discount on all other call outs through out the year!

Rugs, coz he's out growing them a a rate of knots, I have just bought him second hand ones!

oh yeh and hay, £4.50 a bale! 1 bale every 2-3 days from Nov to Feb/March

I posted in your other thread "cost of keeping a companion pony?"

My grass kept horse costs about 150 a month spread over the year including annual things and insurance. Your livery is more than my field but as you won't need shoes it will probably even out

Most of the time she costs under 100 but I budget that much to account for everything.

Being nosey but how come it won't be ridden, do you just want a pet? I don't think it would cost much more if you wanted a ridden one other than tack obviously...
