About this course
In this course you work out what keeping a fictional horse really costs, with a spreadsheet. You compare DIY, part and full livery on cash and on the value of your time, turn a fictional care plan into whole hay bales and bedding bags per season, and build a care calendar with EDATE from intervals set by your farrier and vet. You spread tack over its useful life, split fixed costs fairly in a horse share, compare an own trailer with hiring and find the break-even, check a show season against its budget and finish with the cost per ride, a reserve fund plan and a cost chart.
