[quote=Anonymous]I can answer this for the OP. If we’re talking about a happy adult amateur in H/J at the A show level (which is not the only way to do it!) Figure $50-$350k/horse $3k/month base expenses (including board, routine care, basic training) $3k/horse/regional show Triple everything for Wellington in the winter, double everything for Ocala. But what will really get you is that horses don’t stay sound. If you get a horse that stays sound for 10 years, get down and kiss its hooves. So the big cost is retiring them. You can decide to not do that, but you have to be okay with the ethics of euthanizing or otherwise offloading a horse that isn’t rideable but could live for another 10-20 years. Don’t buy a farm! If it hasn’t been your lifelong dream to own a farm, for goodness sake, don’t buy a farm. I mean even if it’s a $10m farm in Wellington and you will never so much as hold a broom, don’t buy a farm. You’re welcome in advance. [/quote]
