I won't even tell what either of my cutting horses cost and besides the original output of cash for the nag then you have to feed it, tack it, vet it and in the case of one of my mares board it (she is a bit of a Paris Hilton - cute as a button but no life skills to make it at my place with no heated barn). Then there is entry fees - gas to travel to competitions...............oyah - I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. It's all a matter of what you decide your extra $ are worth to you as an individual. Me - I could live in my horse trailer as long and forego the nice house etc. etc. etc.
