Is a male stallion or gelding Arabian horse better than a female mare?

As breeder, trainer and judge of Arabian horses, I can honestly say that there are great horses of both sexes. The stallion or gelding usually are a bit stronger when it comes to racing or endurance rides, but have no real apprecial advantage on most show discipines. They also do not suffer from a few mares problem of hormonal swings, but a gelding can not be bred. A stallion has to be handle with more care and heightened observation a sex is almost always on a stallions mind when around other horses. To house a stallion you generally have increased stabling and man care issues. Mares and geldings can be run together, and fencing issues/cost are usually a bit less Every trainer and owner has his/he preferences when working with the different sexes. I personally prefer working with stallions and gelding, even though one of my most winning horses (an I still own) won 6 netional top tens and is a mare. Clarification to this question would be more helpful in answering. Is the person going to race, breed, show the horse? If so what events? Is the question in regards to handling and housing issues?

How much does it cost to feed an Arabian horse per month?

This answer varies greatly depending on where you live. If you live somewhere that you horse can live on pasture and rarely have to feed hay, then it is going to be a lot cheaper to feed your horse than if you lived somewhere that had snow most of the year (and therefore, you are feeding each horse at least 4 flakes of hay per day).

Not only that, but it also depends on if you need to feed your horse grain or not. Horses that are just pasture ornaments do not need as much grain as horses who are being ridden heavily.

And then of course, you have to take into consideration supplements as well. Horses who are on supplements have a more expensive feeding cost than those that are not.

If you are looking to see how much your horse's feed costs in a month, you can use the calculator below found in the "Related Links" section.

To figure out the monthly cost of hay:

Take the number of flakes you feed your horse in a day and multiple it by 30 (days in a month). Take that number and divide it buy the number of flakes in a bale of your hay and then multiply that final number by the price you pay per bale of hay.

Example: You feed your horse 4 flakes of hay a day and your bales have 8 flakes of hay in them. You pay $1.50 a bale for hay.

[(4x30)/8][$1.5] = 22.5

For safety purposes, it's safe to say that your horse eats about $25 a month in hay. Just remember that usually in the summer you would be able to feed less hay and in the winter you feed more hay -- so that's just an average.

For calculating grain prices:

Take the number of pounds of grain that you feed your horse and multiply it by 30. Take that number and divide it by the weight of the bag of grain (usually in pounds) and then multiply it by the price per bag. This formula has to be done for EACH kind of feed that you give and then the prices are added together for a final "grain price"

Example: You feed your horse .5lbs of sweet feed ($25/bag) and .5lbs of higher concentrate feed ($30/bag) twice a day. (That's 1lb sweet/1lb energy per day)

Sweet feed: [(1x30)/50][$25] = $15

Energy feed: [(1x30)/50][$30] = $18

Total: $33/month

And for supplements, calculations can very greatly depending on if you feed your supplements from a container or if you feed them pre-measured (like in SmartPaks).
