Answer 2

The cost of stabling a horse monthly will vary greatly from area to area. In the USA it goes mostly by how close you are to an urban area with the prices getting higher the closer you are to a city. Boarding fees vary from $150 a month for self-care paddock boarding to $2,000 at a full care show facility, with most falling in the $350-$500 range. On top of that you have to add in Vet bills and Farrier costs. Expect to pay a minimum of $200 a year on just hoof trimming, shoe cost more of course. A vet can run from $900 and up a year. The stable may or may not provide bedding and feed. If not then you'll have to buy these also, expect to pay $200+ for bedding a year and depending on the type of hay you feed $250+ a year for hay, concentrates are more. You may be required to carry equine insurance at a boarding barn, so that'll add up to a minimum of $400 a year. Add all this up and you get $3,850-$26,050 yearly, this translates into $320.83-$2170.83 a month. With most costs falling into the $5,000 a year range equalling $416.67 a month.
