Responses to a horse-ownership survey from the University of Maine found that the average annual cost of horse ownership is $3,876 per horse, while the median cost is $2,419. That puts the average monthly expense anywhere from $200 to $325 â on par with a car payment.
An average horse may cost only $3000 to buy, but over its working live can easily cost $100,000 to take care of. Im often amazed at people who feel that cannot spend a couple of thousand dollars more for the horse they really want, considering that the purchase price is perhaps 5 or less of the cost of owning a horse.
