owning a horse is extremelt expensive, its the most expensive pet you can have. not having owned one, and maybe someone who has can elaborate, but the cost a re extreme.
first you but it, lets say a minimun of 25,000 for a good dosage horse.

15,000 a year to feed it.
then you have to have a way to ship it, car, van , etc.
and then the entry fees for stakes (30,000 for the KD)
all the various equipment, you need extra 's too, bridles, saddles.
the trainer is what 15 bucks a day or so.
then there is the time, who will plan its day, do you have the time for a 1200 pound pet ?

this is basically a business you get into when you retire if you made milions throughout your life.
its what you spend the profits you made selling your lifelong enterprise on.
instead of buying stock , you buy livestock.
