I Need a List of Horse supplies.

Horse supplies?????????????

• Well, I getting a horse sometime. Not going to rush into things though. I haven't ridden in years but I'm going back into lessons. I use to own a horse but sadly he died and I lost my interest in looking for another friend. I remember a lot but. I need to make sure I am getting everything. And That I get a good price for what I do need. I do need a new saddle and bridle. Western! I'm into barrels but I may get English stuff for jumping! SO English too! Any good websites to go to and buy this? Safe too! Have you bought anything from here? Any good stores in Around NY, NJ, PA. What would you pay? I had a paint but I'm looking into any breed what do you prefer? Can you make a list of supplies and the cost! Oh and board how much would you pay? I was younger and my parents did most of it so ya. I really have no clue how much board would cost. But I know this can be expensive. How much would you pay for board and a trailer?? Thanks!

• Answer:

  Very smart of you to ask such an important question, many don't know what it takes to care properly for their horses. I'd say it will cost approx. 1500. a year, per horse and that is averaging on the low side. The price of feed and professional services varies from one region to another so cost may differ in your area even if only a couple hours away. There's much more involved the one thinks in taking care of horses, like Supplements, Salt Blocks, Concentrates, (at least two cups a day), Farrier, Shoes, Dentistry yearly, Dewormer, General Vaccinations/Vaccines, immunization for diseases, tetanus, vet care when needed, or if injured, insurance if applicable, ( I have Hallmark insurance) and, overall daily care. I'm sure I may of left some things out. The link below will help you estimate costs by showing what you need, then filling in costs in your area, it's a pretty good calculator, you'll find it interesting and helpful as I.
