How much does your horse cost a month

[Okki]

Hi

I've not had a horse for a few years and am thinking of getting one again. I was wondering how much people pay. I e found a DIY yard that is £140 pcm including worming and they have a floodlit School and great hacking. I'm in NE Derbyshire if the region makes a big difference. (Was in Oxfordshire before and DIY + all expenses was about £300-£350). The horse would be thoroughbred - rehomed after racing/not being suitable for racing. I'm a happy hacker. Thanks very much.

Horse on full livery - great facilities & turnout every day 365 as long as a gale isn't blowing €100 per week
I exercise myself 4/5 days p.w but if not I can ask for her to be done.

I buy supplements approx €40 per month
Shoes approx every 8 weeks €75
Annual vaccinations priced depending on who else is being done at same time - average €40
Back treatments approx every 6 months - 2 x €40
I refuse to add up what I spend on rugs and odds & ends
Obviously anything can happen so you have to be prepared for ad hoc vet bills too
Insurance €70 per year - BHS Gold (not vet)
I'm sure I've forgotten loads but you get the picture
