The Horse Budget Plan

Keeping a horse costs real money, and the bill comes in pieces: hay in the fall, the farrier every couple of months, vaccines in the spring, a vet call nobody planned. The Horse Budget Plan puts a whole year on one page, finds the money that is leaking out, and protects the spending that keeps him healthy and sound.

INSIDE (8 parts)

1. Where the money goes: the lines of a horse budget, how many times a year, and a worked example

2. Hay, bought right: how much he needs in a year, price per ton instead of per bale, hay testing, storage that cuts waste, slow feeders

3. The feed room audit: every product on the shelf, its cost per month, and the questions to ask your vet before you drop anything

4. Where he lives: full, partial, pasture and self-care board compared, questions before you sign, the true monthly cost

5. Farrier and vet, on schedule: sharing farm calls with neighbors, wellness plans, a yearly calendar, deworming with fecal egg counts

6. Tack and gear: buying used safely, what to buy new, care that makes it last

7. Insurance and the emergency fund: the common policy types, building a fund, your plan written down

8. What never to cut: vaccines, teeth, the farrier and the vet

Fill-in pages: price-per-ton sheet, feed room audit, deworming log, yearly budget, monthly tracker and expense log.

Every dollar figure in the book is a clearly marked example. You fill in your own numbers. It never tells you to skip the vet, the farrier or his vaccines.
