[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD rides and shows a bit. We partial-lease a horse. Our yearly cost is about $27,000. I think this is the bare minimum. The majority of the other girls at the barn own or full lease. We have told DD that we cannot afford more than this. She LOVES horses and has never complained and feels like she is part of the barn team and enjoys spending time there. In addition to the money, there is a lot of driving to the barn as well as shows, which are a full-day event in some faraway place.  [/quote]

That can feed a family for 2 years...crazy.

Skip the shows.  Do not lease or own.  Try to find a barn of kids that love horses but can't afford the fancy steeds and she will be happier.   We had to search to find a solution. If all the other girls own fancy horses and are going to shows...it can be a real drag to not be doing that.

But that said..caring for and riding horses is a lot of fun if you can find the right spot.  We had to drive a while into the country where land is cheaper to fin a place that could work.[/quote]
