We’ve never only fed one horse, so I don’t know how much money it would cost to feed just one. When we had our last horses, we had goats, sheep, and 2 horses instead of just one. And it costed (is costed really not a word?? lol, me and my country talk) about 0 a year to feed all of them small square bales.
Now my mom says I can have a horse again if I find a free one and can get really cheap hay.
I found some cheap horses (they’re all 0), and I might be able to negotiate the price down a little on one of them so my mom’ll let me get him.

I figured up how much hay an average 1000 pound horse would need per day, and it came out as about 20 pounds (2000 pounds per year, since horses need hay from about December through April here). Then I searched hay for sale and found that the average price for an 800 pound round bale is 20-30 dollars. So I figured up how many bales a horse would need and how much it would cost.

So I think it would cost about (more or less, depending on the horse) a year to feed a horse (easy keeper that doesn’t need grain and only needs hay in winter). Is that about right?

I’m probably going to be in driving school the beginning of next year, so I’ll be able to get a job soon and pay for any other costs that come up (I’ll put a little back for vet bills, possibly farrier, and dentist if my dad wont want to pay for that).

And when I’m 18 I might volunteer (part time, since I hope to have a job then) to be a trail guide at a local riding stable (they get tips of about per ride).

Also I have another question for people who know a lot about the horse industry: Is a degree really important? I want to be a riding instructor/trainer, and the college I want to go to has certificates you can get.
It’s ,000 extra per year if you want a degree, and I’m not sure I want to save an extra ,000 to get a degree when I would be just as good at my job without one (the degree course is just regular college courses, no stuff to help with the career I want).
I would try to get a horse that doesn’t need grain (I’d ask to try it out for a few weeks to see how it does on just grass).
And I’d just use mixed grass or timothy hay. It seems to be the cheapest, and I think timothy hay is supposed to be the best for horses.

We have bits (a snaffle and a curb) and a saddle (western), so I wouldn’t need to get any tack unless I found a really cheap english saddle and/or bridle.

And I could make the treats myself if I decided to give it any

Oh, and my dad trimmed my last horse’s feet and we still have the tools.
Miss Luke: thanks, lol. I was wondering why it said I spelled it wrong.

0 is still good, I think.
We had a mare in 1/2 of our pasture (because she was mean to my gelding) and she maintained a good weight all year and I think we had a drought that year (we usually do have dry summers and wet springs)
I would set aside around a month for emergency costs after I get a job, I don’t know if that would be enough to pay for the extra cost of hay if the prices rose, but I’m also going to be saving money for college and keeping my horse healthy would be worth waiting a couple extra years before I could go to college.

0,000,000,000.00 after taxes. I would buy a huge, giant nice property and build a community of houses for all of my family members to live there. I would adopt a couple kids who have never had anything. I would find out through some children’s hospital’s or social workers some children who are sick and their family’s couldn’t afford surgery, and I would pay for the hospital bills and surgery’s. I would do the same for some mothers and fathers who were very ill, and needed some surgery’s and couldn’t afford them. I would find struggling family’s, single moms, and dads and I would help them with a home, car, food, furniture, and whatever else they may need. I would start a company that would create jobs for some of the family’s that I helped, or other parents or young people. I would set up bank accounts for each of my family members, and college accounts for my children, and my little sister, and some other needy young people, or parents. I wouldn’t live in a mansion. I wouldn’t have cars that cost ,000.00 or more, maybe 30,000.00 at the most and that would just be one. I would set up a church in my community, and a park with a playground, and a theme park with rides for all the kids and adults too. I would also buy another huge property and I would make another community with about 100 homes, and I would work with people and get good drug free family’s into the homes and help them out with very low or no rent until they could get on their feet and then they could pay at a price they could afford, I would set it up through the community and through the women’s refuge and help women and family’s out of abusive relationships to start over a new healthy life. Also teenagers turning 18 that were in abusive or dysfunctional family’s. I would create jobs for some, a lot of these people too, around the property and stuff. I would help handicapped people with surgery’s, physical therapy, counseling, health care, home care workers, maids, and living arrangements (permanent homes), my dad is disabled and he used to work hard, now he is on social security and he has a hard time affording a decent home, food and medication. I would try to stay like I am now, I wouldn’t want to spend millions on myself and have flashy things, I would spend more money helping people than buying things I could show off. I would travel around and talk about God and Jesus and help people who are down and out and try to bring them to the Lord. I would start a big nice rehab for people addicted to opiates, and other drugs, but not people who are being forced to by the courts, only people who really need help and want help. I would also provide these people recovering from addiction a safe place to live, maybe an apartment complex for them and any kids, I would drug test and make a serious program and search the apartments and make sure people were not abusing my help, but I would try and help addicts, especially parents, or young people. I was addicted for 10 years starting when I was 15 and I had a hell of a time trying to find help, it was in my home and I had no where else to go, I thought I would never get help, it was horrible, help was almost non existent when I needed it. What would you all do with 0,000,000,000.00? Just something fun to think about. God bless you all.

I had a stalker on myspace who was not someone I knew personally, but she found out my full name because it was part of my myspace url. Then, in a message that scared me to death, she posted my mom’s dad’s and brother’s names. my profile was set to private and I never ever mentioned their names. They don’t come up on a google search either. How did this person find their names? And I am positive it was a stranger, not someone I know.
