How much does it cost to board horses?

Answer 1

It depends very much on the region of where you live, the barn, and what the barn is offering. It can run from $200 to $500 or $600. Pasture boarding is typically cheaper than stall boarding. It can also depend on what's included. Feed, bedding, worming, and supplements will all have to be worked into the bill ahead of time. Some stables require owners to pay for their own feed and others include their own feed in the bill. Decide on what you're looking for, visit different places, and compare prices.

Answer 2

It really depends on the kind of barn you want. They can be very simple and you can put one up in a few days. Or they can be very large and very expensive. But for an example, a four stall with a breezeway will cost $10,000 to $20,000. If you do the construction yourself you will be able to save some money. This will probably not include the permits so that will be another expense you need to prepare for.
