How can you get a free horse?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a truly free horse. Someone may be willing to give away or trade a horse but you will then have the cost of upkeep. If you cannot keep the horse on your land then you'll have to board the horse which costs an average of $400 a month in most places. The board fee may or may not cover feed and bedding. If not you'll have to add another $50+ a month to your budget. Then there are the farrier and vet costs which can run into the thousands. You'll need at least a base budget of $3,000-$5,000 a year to maintain a horse in most areas.
