Horses should consume approximately half a bale (20 lbs) of hay daily, though this number can be increased or decreased depending on your horse's size and access to grazing pastures throughout the day. Going with the standard of half a bale each day, you're looking at approximately 183 bales of hay each year. The cost of hay can vary again depending on your location, but generally it will be between $2.00 to $3.00 per bale, so let's assume a cost of $2.50:
183 bales x $2.50 = $457.50 In addition most horses should receive some form of grain, so let's assume you provide your horse just 3 pounds of sweet feed daily. A 50-pound bag of Blue Seal Pacer usually costs between $7.50 to $8.00, so let's assume a low cost of $7.50. 3 pounds daily would be 1095 pounds each year, which equals about 22 bags of Pacer. 22 bags x $7.50 = 165.00 And keep in mind we purposely calculated a below average price and quantity of daily sweet feed intake. Most owners will pay slightly more for their grain and feed 4-5 pounds daily between breakfast and dinner. So adding together the minimal hay and grain expenses above we have a total of $622.50 yearly for food, not including any food supplements you may wish to provide your horse.
This is just an average and if you buy horse food in larger packs you may be able to do it more cheaply hope this helps.
