Wow.

I guess I'm glad that I live where I do. I won't post how little my guys cost me - it would make you all very sad. (I do all the shots & dewormings myself.)

I will say that when my mare got sick last November, that I spent more on her vet care in five and a half weeks than I spent on upkeep for the entire year for all the horses combined.

So..... something can always happen to increase the cost of horse keeping.
