I found this interesting, SOMEONE JUST POSTED THIS ON ANOTHER PAGE -
Do you want to know why Board is going up and why keeping horses is so expen*sve... read this and do your own math

25horses each get allocated their portion of each cost:

Anyone else notice more barns going private? Average facility is around 25 stalls and with inflation I decided to to do some math.....

25 Stall barn operating costs per month PER HORSE:
Stall cleaning, Feeding, Turn-out/Turn-in, Watering. ½ hour for all tasks - $20/hour 30 days a month. = $300
#20 feed per horse per day @ $550/ton delivered and stacked = $165
$5,000 mortgage on facility divided by 25 horses = $200
Grounds keeper (working arenas, mowing lawns, fencing, ect) 160 hours @ $20/hour = $128
Shavings hauled in and hauled off $3,000 = $120
Power, water, small maintenance $1,000 = $40
Break even cost $953 per month
$1,000 a month is a reasonable cost for a facility to care for a horse.

Meet Maverick
He's a 5 yr old Black Clyde gelding. He was a PMU baby from Canada. Jen bought him as an unbroken 3 yr old. He does a little bit of everything! Dressage, trail rides, loves the beach, he learned to drive this year and even pulls us around in a 2 person boat tube in the snow. He loves to play with his ball and gets along with everyone. Love visitors and is more like a giant dog 😂🐴❤️

Meet Indy. Guess what day he was purchased on? 🇺🇸 Indy is another of our lesson ponies and he’ll turn 4 years old in April. His registered name is Double J’s Independence Impulse. Everyone loves to ride Indy because he is the most relaxed of our lesson horses.

Meet Rocky aka Chunky Monkey. He came to us from Vermont and is one of our lesson ponies. Rocky is as gentle as they come and he loves children. Like any other horse he also loves to be brushed and pampered.
