how much do you spend?

[bikina]

on your horse each month? for everything from hay to shoes to treats to shows - I'm intrigued how much our four legged friends cost us!

 

[Christmas_Kate]

About 50 quid. Farrier, feed, wormer and insurance.

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

NO ONE ADD UP! Its far too painful... Coughs.... Splutters... Around £250 for one.. Cokes....

 

[polyphonic]

about £350 amonth sometimes more

 

[serena2005]

i say around the £300 mark possibly more.. then again i dont actually pay it, his owner does.
my cob id say less than £200 a month.... prices include stableing

 

[Super_Kat]

Per horse -

£200 - livery
£50 - shoes
£6 - polo's

I have no idea what competing will cost and what any extras will cost.

[Blizzard]

About £400 a month but thats for 2 biggies!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Thought so... Every time I pop into feed store I grab a packet or two.... Dermot gets maybe one or two of them?

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Livery £120
Hay £25
Feed £10
Supplements £40
Bedding £60 (she's a dirty troll)
Shoes £40
Insurance £30

Plus any vets bill, tack, rug, rug cleaning, entry fees etc.....etc...

Oops

 

[the watcher]

Sorry, don't even want to think about it, and it is going to get worse as we have lots planned for this season

 

[filly190]

I have own land and stables and keep 2 horses and one yearling.

I do feed the yearling the same amount as the horses to ensure good bone growth etc etc.

So here are my costs per month.

Shavings: £60.00
Alfa Orginal: £32.00
Sugar beet: £10.00
Pasture mix: £32.00
Hay: £42.00
Feet done every eight weeks £120.00 so I will half that.

Total £236.00

This is winter months only.

In the summer, nothing but shoes. Have acres of grass and really dont need to feed them, even in hard work.

So summer months £60.00

Yearly costs: £1952.00.

 

[lisan]

£500 inc taxing and insuring the horsebox

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Ohhh god hadn't included Horsebox

It gets worst, going to stop thinking as getting scary now!!!

QR

£240 livery - DIY
£65 shoes
£52 bedding
£50 haylage
£40 feed
£38 insurance - horse
£32 insurance - lorry

£517 oh sh*t, really wished I hadn't done that - and that's before lessons or competitions, holly mare

 

[ColleenIsh]

very little has I am joint owner with acmissy plus horsey is a yearling

 

[EmmaC78]

I am about £300 a month in the winter for my horse then about another £60 or so for two shetties.

 

[Chex]

Summer - £100
Winter - £200 a month

 

[Tia]

Well every month is different here; but I have worked out that each of my horses I own costs me between 600 - 1,000 per year to keep.

 

[MillionDollar]

£80 per month for 5

 

[MagicMelon]

Ha, I would HATE to think. Hundreds. Shows alone can cost me a fortune. especially eventing season - thats about £60 gone on ONE class entry fee alone! BSJA costs a fortune as well.

I think feed probably costs me £150 a month. They get through about 2 bales of hay a day so that £3 a day as well. Farrier usually costs about £80 each time. Look, I dont want to go any further or I might cry!!

 

[Stinkbomb]

costs on average per month

stable, grazing and morning feed £80
Hay £6
Shavings £8
Feed £4
wormers £2
feet £6
insurance and trailer insurance £39

£145 a month

£40 horsebox insurance
£50 neddy insurance
£??? competitions depends
£10 shampoos/de-tanglers/saddle soap/lickets
OMG gonna stop now amount is frightening me

 

[Peanot]

I have a horse diary, which I put in what I have done regarding exercise etc, teeth, shoes, wormers etc and I put in everything that I spend on the main month page.
When I add it all up, its quite surprising, it ranges from £350 - £450 a month which includes just £90 DIY livery.
But this does include lessons and entry fees, saddlery etc. I must admit that I spend £50 on a set of shoes for my horse every 7 weeks but I wouldn`t dream of spending more than £20 on a pair for me.

 

[leanne123]

too much
i darn't add it up as oh has been cheaking what i write on here lately and i don't want to give him a heart attack.
