What %age of your income do you spend on your horses?

[happihorse]

Just been doing some sums and was quite gobsmacked by this! Still I did inclue all of the non-essentials and luxury items!

Please make me feel better!

 

[Biscuit]

Hehe I deliberately do not want to add up the sums. Still in denial

 

[carthorse]

110% oh dear

 

[gally]

runs off and hides, that is one scary question!!!!!!!!

Like _CJ_ i am very much in denial about how much a new forest pony can cost (thouhgt they were meant to be cheap to run! lol)

 

[_OC_]

Too much!

....but his worth it!

 

[SecretSquirrell379]

Not too much, probably about 10-15% of my income goes on Cropi but that includes my lessons as well.

In the winter when she just has to have a new rug maybe a bit more

 

[Tangaroo]

Nearly all of it!!

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

I have no idea...never worked it out....never want to!

 

[Ottinmeg]

i dont work it out either, basic livery costs for 3 is 350 per month , then there is all the entry fees,diesel etc on top.. i dont think i want to know what percentage it all adds up to !

[Gucci_b]

As and when needed I guess..... Alot in other words...

 

[keeperscottage]

I'm loathe to admit to the number of horse we own when people ask.....they're all a bit, err, "money no object"........however, I honestly cannot remember the last time I had a proper holiday and holidays (and the need for a new front door, hall/stairs/landing re-decoration!!!!) never come into the equation!!!!!

But I do love and enjoy our horses, regardless of cost!

 

[custard]

Just done a quick calc. A good 15% but that includes competing, running the lorry etc

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cyearsley]

100% as only work part-time with horses but won't begin to work out the addtional percentage of hubbys salary................

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

100% and then some, I'm afraid! Have worked out many ways to hide it from my non horsey hubby!!

 

[Chex]

Just now its about 15% ish, but it'll be less once I get a proper job!

 

[Puppy]

Gosh, I think I'd rather not think about it

 

[EmmaC78]

It works out at about 15% of my wages too.

 

[Rachel_M]

With new horses running cost, a quarter.

 

[conkers]

A conservative estimate is 30%, probably more!!!
Much more than i spend on my mortgage.

But they are lovely! )

I took an evening job & work weekends to pay for mine. My main job paid for the house. With redundancy round the corner this could all change, but I wont give up the horses without a fight, not having given up my evenings & weekends for 2yrs to have them.
