‼️‼️Vulerbable post ahead. But, if we dont share how will ohers know! ‼️‼️
The longer we are in business and the more I speak with others in this industry the more we hear that equine services are "expensive".
Honestly, I understand why someone outside the horse world might think that. Most people simply don’t realize what proper horse care actually costs behind the scenes.
This month alone, here’s a small glimpse into caring for our herd:
• Veterinary x-ray appointments for sore horses: $500
(These horses were not lame or limping. Horses are incredibly stoic and often hide discomfort well. The x-rays revealed issues that could only be diagnosed through imaging.)
• Dental work for 9 horses + 1 donkey: $1,250
• Hay for the month: $550
• Bodywork for 4 horses: $500
• CSI saddle pads: $600
• Better fitting saddle: $550
• Tack updates for comfort and fit: $137
• Specialized feed regimen for one recovering horse: about $7/day
• Shoes and pads every 6 weeks for 3 horses: $175 each
And that doesn’t include fencing, maintenance, vaccines, supplements, fly control, utilities, or the countless hours spent caring for them every single day.
We love these horses deeply. We don’t want them working with sore bodies, sharp teeth, poor saddle fit, or unbalanced feet. Their comfort and wellbeing will always come first.
This post isn’t meant to shame anyone for asking questions about pricing — only to educate and offer a little transparency into the reality of responsible horse ownership.
When you support a small horse business, you’re helping support the care that keeps these animals healthy, comfortable, and happy. 🤍
