positive negative side of horse owning you mentioned that It costs a month to keep a horse Where did you get those figures If It cost that much to keep one horse we certainly wouldnt be able to keep our Tour on our fifteen acres ANSWER You are quite right the article was unclear and did read as though I meant the figure as the cost of keeping a horse yourself Actually trie HO referred to the usual cost of boarding a horse In this locale The cost of keeping a horse on your own property runs around a month for feed and straw if you buy your feed and don have a horse with a prodigious ap petite This figure can be lowered by raising some or all of your feed You can also save money by buying in bulk For instance you can often make a good deal with a farmer for all your winters hay if
