How much do you spend

[Britestar]

on hard feed each month?

I'm not including supplements, or hay/haylage.

I've worked out that my once a month trip to the feed merchants (saving diesel/ temptation on repeat trips) costs me about £110, which works out to approx £12.50 per horse! I'm quite impressed with that

I do have top quality home grown haylage that they can have add lib, and this keeps them looking good. In amongst these horses, I have 2 that would loose weight in the wink of an eye, and a mega-growing yearling.

I'm sure if I only had one or two to feed, I'd spend heaps more than that!

Average's to about £20 ish a month.

But then the haylage / supplements cost far more a month.

 

[MegaBeast]

3 sacks of A&P C+C = £30
3sacks of Alfa A Oil = £27.50

So £57.50

Also buy oil, topspec balancer and magnitude. Ad lib haylage is included in livery

There was a thread on this in CR recently asking specifically about competition horses.

 

[spookypony]

Nothing!

 

[miller]

£117 per month for 2 x 16.2hh's and 2 x weanling foals

Ad lib haylage on top of course, foals feed more expensive than older horses

 

[spacefaer]

for 5 hard working hunters.... £12.50/wk/horse....

 

[lizness]

Bag of good doer every three month, bag of competition mix about every 6 months.
So about £5 at most

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Hard feed is included in livery, but I do buy the Formula4Feet supplement/balancer, which costs me approx. £30 a month per horse.

 

[tabithakat64]

£13 a month in winter and £8 a month in summer.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

3 x bags baileys no. 4= £30
1 x bag mollichop= £5
1 x bag alfalfa= £10

So £45 per month.

 

[monkeybum13]

For P a bag of baileys lo cal balancer lasted 3 months so about £7 a month
Lacey just has dodson and horrell safe and sound with the balancer so say 1 bag of balancer and two bags of chaff (probably slighty less) - £30 approx

 

[Ellies_mum2]

A bag of pegasus mix and a bag of mollichaff original a month so about a tenner

 

[Solstar]

1x Bailey No1 @ £12
2x Alfa A Lite @ £11 each
1x Calm & Condition @ £12
1x Pegasus Cubes @ £6

£52 per month- 2 poor doers.

[loz9]

[Janette]

£15 a month on Alfa A
£15 a month on Top Spec balancer.

About £8 a week for one.

 

[millitiger]

[luckilotti]

my last 'weeks shopping' for the neds came to approx £200, this is a monthly cost but i have to go to two different feed stores, about 15 miles apart to get what they have. Ontop of that they have either 1 or 2 sacks of carrots a day = approx £67.50

That feeds 8 (1 shetland, 1 welsh yearling, 13hh pony, 14.2 old section d, 14hh rescue broodmare in foal, 15.3 kwpn broodmare in foal, 16.1 old hanxarab and an old 16.2 cbxtb)

WHY DID I ANSWER THIS POST!!!
you just made me work out i am spending £33.44 a horse per month.... but its not that, its more per horse as the shetland doesnt get hard feeds, and the yearling, her dam and the welsh cob only gets a tiny bit...!
