A horse is assigned a stall and you're given access to trails, a pasture or arena. The cost of boarding averages $400 to $500 per month but can go as high as $1,200 to $2,500 in metropolitan areas.Services such as mucking out stalls, feeding and turning out your horse to pasture may not be included in the price.hoeing costs more. A full set of shoes costs $110 to $135 near cities or $75 to $80 in rural areas. Some horses may need corrective shoeing -- for a cracked hoof, for example -- for an average of $175. One of the best reasons to purchase a horse is to ride him, of course.
