Keeping horses at home - obvious & hidden costs
 

Looking at equestrian properties, woooo - exciting! I've only ever had mine on livery and am pretty clueless about land management etc. I definitely have lots to learn. I expect that there will be tonnes of costs for things I haven't even considered, would anyone mind giving me a rough list of what I can expect to pay out for please? If we base it on one I'm potentially interested in 4 acre field, not sure what grazing is like as I'm not viewing until next week menage stables So I'd have the usual forage, bedding, wormer, farrier etc. everything I'm paying out for now minus livery cost. Plus; Field maintenance Electric fencing for track/strip grazing Harrowing menage Muck heap removal General maintenance (I suppose this is limitless!) What else? I'd be moving my Highland and getting a companion pony. My eternal thanks to anyone who can add to my list of expenses ;)
