Great Question …

To give you an idea a competition performance pony with temperaments, ability, breeding, soundness, competitiveness and confirmation of our ponies will on average cost between $20,000 - $45,000 to purchase outright as a minimum.  Plus another $5000 for gear and rugs at least. For full care monthly agistment with facilities on average it would be at least $800 per month with basic full care (not including stabling).  You would then need to allow a budget for feed roughage and hard feed - Hay Round bails are $120.00 ea and last roughly 2.5 weeks, square nails are $25.00 for grass hay.  Hard feed can range from $20 a bag to $120 or more and this may need to be fed twice a day.  Horses may also need to be on special feed or medication which can be quite costly such as Ulcershield which treats stomach ulcers very common in horses.  Also factoring in farrier services which can range between $70-$250 every 5-8 weeks.  Other costs to consider is Insurance and a health vet emergency fund.
