- I pay around $1-$1.50 for hay, and usually just feed oats or a corn/oats mix,
- which is usually around $5 for 50 lbs.
-
- One thing I didn't add in before (I don't have a running "horsey budget") is
- worming, which probably costs me an additional $50-$75 a year. I'm also
- thinking this year I might want to look at bedding; my horses seem to show more
- of an inclination to lay down, esp. Lady, my sister's horse. (Who I may be
- losing since my sister might be coming back to the states; anybody got a horse
- for sale to keep Spring company?)

- > $1/bale for hay. Do you bale your own hay?
-
- I don't do my own, but I help my landlord's son do his and in return
- occasionally get a break on the price.
