This morning I was thinking about costs to keep horses .
Most people board there horses at a facility. It is costly! But where does the money go ?
Per day costs per horse to run our facilities are astonishing.
We have an indoor arena , outdoor arena, standard size dressage ring , a x country course , trails and 8 acres of turnout. Maintenance costs ( repairs, farm vehicle maintenance , snow removal, etc. )about $16,000. 00 before improvements. Approximately $5.00 per horse per day .
The horses need to eat , they have continuous hay supply about $6.00 per horse per day and about $1.00 of grain per day .
We have to heat and light the place plus electrify the fences $0.50 per horse per day.
Everything has to be insured and we all know what that cost !!! $4.00 per horse .
Plus someone knowledgeable has to feed and care for the horses daily $8.00 per day per horse . ( including WSIB and EI and CPP ) .
All that adds up to $24:50 per day per horse .
So just to recover these costs for 31 day we need $783.50 per horse or $8,942.50 per horse for a year .
Oh yes and the government take 13% of our income in taxes . So in order to actually get enough to cover our cost we need $10,105.02 per horse per year .
Horses are expensive, but boarding barns are not making money on keeping your horses .
