What this sheet is for
Work out what a horse actually costs in a year, which is a figure most owners have never added up.
Who it is for
Owners, sharers, anyone considering buying, and anyone deciding whether to keep going.
How to use it
- Include livery, feed, bedding, farrier, vet, insurance, dentist, worming, transport, lessons, competition entries, tack and rugs.
- Add the unexpected costs at the end of the year rather than pretending they were not part of it.
- Do it in the same month each year so the years compare.
- Keep it with the insurance schedule.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: What a horse costs in a year, added up honestly, including the lines people leave out.
Arithmetic on your own numbers. The figure at the bottom of this sheet surprises most owners, which is the reason to fill it in. It is arithmetic on your own numbers and nothing here is financial advice.
Write-on lines: Horse · Year · Currency · Livery type
Table, 10 rows: Cost · Detail · Per month · Per year · Notes
Write-on lines: Total for the year · Per month · Unexpected costs this year
Ruled lines: What changed, and what to budget for next year
Questions
Is this financial advice?
No. It is arithmetic on figures you supply. What it is good for is answering the question honestly before somebody buys a second horse.
