Horse owner question?

I am looking into getting a horse and need details. How much is it to get your horses teeth floated? How much is it for all the vaccination and how often do they have to be done?





Thanks in advance!!

Horse owner question?
If you asking about how much it costs to keep a horse then all I can say is there is a popular saying 'poverty is owning a horse'. They cost a lot. The cost will vary depending on how big the horse is, if you have your own property or not, etc. If you have less money there is less you can do for your horse. In Aus agistment costs between $25 -250/week depending on what type and where, feed costs between $10 (fully grass fed with supplement occ) and $100/week daily feeds of high quality food. Most vet bills will be $250 minimum, floating teeth 6monthly - 1year depending on what your horse needs $60 -$120, vaccinations $$50 - 200 annually depending on what you vaccinate against (a lot of people dont do this), farriery 6-8weekly $75 trim - $120 shoes, and this does not include gear such as halters, bridle, saddle, the rugs they tear constantly and need replacement sometimes weekly!! The cheapest thing is the horse. In short you cant love money if you own a horse, you will be always parting with it BUT if make sure you get a good one, you will have nothing but years of fun. Good luck.
