Answer 1

[since people gave already answered with a list, I will just say ]

Make sure you have had lessons

Ask other owners of horses and see how much they pay or maybe for a estimate on how much you will have to pay.

Also, I would try and earn the horse by doing chores , not only can you say you earned the horse and your parents would be proud, but once you get your horse you can be even more happy knowing you earned it and did what you had to do to get it.

And you have to be 13 to be on here.

Good luck!

Answer 2

i would suggest not getting a horse until our parents and you have discussed it at length. horses can range from 200 to 50000 dollars and more. so after the initial cost of the horse is when the real expense starts. around 5000 a year unless vet visits hike it up. i would suggest waiting until you are old enough to get a little job to help pay for some of your horses things. horses are very expensive and you rarely get back any money from horses. they eat up all your money only insane people with no maths skills own horses, isnt that right guys!!!! lol

Answer 3

This is a pretty broad minded question.

It depends on that sort of horse you are looking for.

They can start at $200

And can cost up to $85,000 +

Once you have brought the horse, you then have to buy properaly fitted tack, feed, farrier bills, dentist bills, rugs, tack, riding lesson money, vet bills if needed!

ALOT!

Answer 4

fr an 11 year old you dont need flashy stuff



Tack - you can buy a starter pack wich has saddle, bridle, girth, saddle blanket, and also comes with a grooming kit and you can get this for as cheap as $170, Kincade is the brand and you can get it from any horseland in aus... very good not nast breakable stuff

Blankets are around - $50  for a summer rug and $200-$300 for a winter rug

Feed and everything gets very expensive! but if its a pony generally they dont need to much!

Answer 5

         - Bridle - $30+

         - Halter - $6+

         - Brushes - $14.95 for a pack

        - Rugs - Summer - $50+

In a year my friend spends about $4000 on a horse in full work + agistment

Answer 6

I have seen horses that cost nothing because the owner is in bad circumstances. There is a horse at my barn whose price tag was $250,000 prior to him being the Region 8 champion and #8 in the US.

Tack is saddle, bridle, saddle pad, bit, stirrup irons, stirrup leathers, stirrup pads. Grooming is a variety of brushes and a box to keep them all in. Depending on the horse you may need a range of blankets from light to heavyweight including a fly sheet. Go to www.doversaddlery.com or www.jeffersequine.com depending on what discipline you plan on riding.

Answer 7

Any where from $30 (at desperate auctions) to $16,000,000 (the world record). Most horses are between $500 and $20,000. A well broke, medium aged horse, with tack, grooming supplies, and blankets should cost between $3,500 and $10,000.

Answer 8

there is no single answer to your question it all depends on the horse breed and its blood line that's just the horse you also have to pay for feed tack and vet pills and its not just money its time but if you have to ask how much they cost you probably cant afford it everyone is having trouble with the economy and you may be able to get one cheap

horse if you go to like an animal shelter for horses you can get one pretty cheap you saddle, blanket and reins can be pretty expensive and the other stuff like cold blankets depends on were you live feed is about 100 to 200 a month plus the medical bills make sure when you go to pick out a horse be for you go get some advice from a vet or trainer to make sure the horse is in god condition

Answer 9

Lets see... I paid $1400 dollars for my horse who is a well mannered 10 yr old mare. I've seen horses (green broke/old) for as low as $600 but they can cost well over $50,000 for well bred or specialty breeds. My tack was just a basic leather headstall ($30-$75) hackamore/bit ($15-$75), my saddle was $275 for a synthetic western but saddles can cost up to $1200 dollars depending on what you need.  Check horse.com for saddle pads they start at $15 and actual blankets start at $80. Halter+lead rope $5-$35. Reins only cost me $20 for nylon and $60 for braided leather.

I paid $60 for a full grooming kit by osterhouse it came with a mane and tail brush, mane comb, curry comb, facebrush, hoofpick and body brush. I paid an additional $12 for a sweat scraper. For geldings you'll need sheath cleaner whioch is $15 a bottle . Horse shampoo $12 and a sponge is $4.

Corner feeder $15, Feedbucket $10 , Hay bag $8, floor mat to prevent colic from eating dirt mixed with dropped feed $55.

Horse feed runs me $12+ a bag and for our 5 horses we spend over $200 a month in feed. A salt block for hot months is $25. Hay is $6 dollars a bale but can be up to $50 for a round bale. Food prices vary from where you live.

I spend $15-$45 on horse wormer but you rotate different wormers so the cost is different between kinds. I keep a bottle of penicillan for emergencies and thats $15. Fly spray is between $5-$20 dollars. I prefer the $20 kind because it works on horse flies.

I keep an emergency kit with vet wrap $2, Ferazone $15, Absorbine ligament gel $12, capped syringes $6 , alcohol and cotton balls $4 and exam gloves $3. Don't forget your vet shots and coggins test which runs about $125 annually. If you have your horse shod it can run between $65 to $145. A barefoot trim is about $35.

Thats all I can think of. A great place to get everyting is horse.com and they are as cheap as it gets and have reasonable shipping and shipping times. Hope this helped, its alot , we spend about $1500 a year feeding and taking care of our horses and they aren't show horses.

Anyway I live in a rural part of texas so if you have them nearby check out tractor supply the store, they have a decent tack selection.

Answer 10

a Horse costs around $500 US

Tack $5

grooming $50

Blanksts $ 30

Answer 11

The horse: $2000-3000 for a good one.

Board and upkeep for me personally:

-$100 a month board [$1200 total per year]

-$14 a 50lb bag of Purina Strategy grain [about 5 bags a year so roughly $70]

-$350 estimate total vet care per year

-$7 tube of dewormer [6 a year so about $42 yearly]

-$45 a farrier visit [ about 7 times a year, $315]

BASIC TOTAL: $1977.00

That covers BASIC cost to KEEPING a horse, that doesnt include tack and accesories. Add on about $500 more for that. Plus most barns around here charge $175 a month boarding, so it would be more, I just happened to find a deal.

Answer 12

hi ummm, as someone said look on the internet but her is some costs, but it really depends-

Horse can cost well it depends, on the quality of the horse,if it has been broken it, it might have problems with its behavior, might be sick or lame, might of had injuries in the past or now which can lower the price. If you are buying a pony or a horse the price varies.

saddles- saddles can vary in price , it depends on the quality and if it is 2nd hand( which is most likley going to be cheaper)

they can cost $800-$1,000 or even $2,000-$10,000 as i said it depends. it also depend on the style and what it is made out of.

Reins- reins can cost $195.00-$200.00 even higher, same with the saddle it depends on its condition and what it ismade out of.

saddle blankets- they can cost $20-$80 depends on the quality again.

grooming supplies-

kit- you can just get a grooming kit, which has nearly everything you need in it hoofpick,prushes so on. It is proberbly the best way to get it as a package ( all together) it will cost you about $20-$30 mabey less depends the quality and what company it is made buy ( some are cheaper and better quality then others)

girths- threy will cost you $20-$40 mabey less or higher.

clothing-

gloves- $20-30 you might need then.

chaps- they will cost about $50, they are good they give you grip and stop pinching.

boots- they will range in quality they can be from $50-$300

jodhpurs- they can cost you $12-$60 mabey more

helmet- well they can be very expensive $60-$200 can be more.

whips- $2-$8 can be more depends on the style.

rugs- $50-$300 can be more but very important for those cold days.

headstalls- they can be from $12-$30 can be more aswell

lead ropes- $2-$10 they can be very expensive

Now some more info i can give you-

Where you live: costs are usually higher in urban areas and lower in farm country.

How many horses you keep: the more horses you keep, the lower the cost per head will be.

If you own your own farm or board.

If you have access to grazing to provide nutrition for your horse: grazing can reduce feed costs, but not always.

How much of the horsekeeping labor you do yourself: even if you board, if you clean your horse's stall and pen, it will likely lower your board bill.

If immunize and deworm yourself or require a vet's services: if you purchase health care supplies in quantity with friends and are competent to administer medications yourself, you'll save.

How much you use your horse and for what: the greater the workload, the more feed your horse will require; if you are breeding horses, the mare and foal feed costs will be higher.

Whether you feed simple whole grains or processed feeds: there is often a great price discrepancy between plain oats and processed sweet feeds. In farm country, you might want to consider feeding plain farm grains.

If your horse requires specialized feed: junior, broodmare, and senior feeds are specially balanced and cost more.

If your horse requires specialized veterinary care: if your horse has a chronic problem or is accident prone, he may have high annual vet bills.

If your horse requires specialized shoeing: if your horse has navicular, has foundered, or is recovering from hoof neglect, his shoeing bill will be higher.

If your area was hit by a drought, flood, or other agricultural disaster: these factors create a scarcity in feed and a rise in feed prices.

VETERINARY SUPPLIES AND CARE

Immunizations = $60.00

Deworming 6 times per year x $10 = $60.00

Dental and Misc. Vet Maintenance = $100.00

Farm call charges = $75.00

FARRIER

Shoeing 6 times at $80 = $480.00

Trimming 3 times at $25 = $75.00

The cost of keeping a horse varies widely depending on where you live and the level of service your stable provides. Simple pasture boarding can cost as little as $100 a month. However, stable boarding can cost $500 or more.

If you plan to keep your horse on your own land, you’ll also need to consider whether the property is adequately equipped. First, you'll need about two acres of good pasture per horse for grazing. You'll also need well-maintained barn space, particularly if you live in a cold climate

Most horse owners spend about $60 to $100 per month on hay, salt and supplements – and some spend much more, particularly if they feed grain.

Maintaining your horse's hooves adds even more to the cost of a horse. Whether or not you plan to shoe your horse, you'll need to have a farrier check and trim his hooves every two months or so. This usually costs around $25 or $30. Add in shoeing, and you could pay $80 to $100 every two months.

Routine medical care is an additional cost of owning a horse and includes vaccinations, de-worming and annual teeth cleaning. For a healthy horse, this can cost as little as $300 a year. However, if your horse gets injured or ill, you could pay hundreds or even thousands for a one-time treatment. Although you can't predict such expenses, prepare yourself for the possibility before you buy a horse.

so on im sorry that is all i can say- good luck but it is hard work i should know lol

and sam s you have know i dea what your talking about $5 for tack what a load of sh** you have know idea what you are talking about.
