A horse, as you know, requires a lot of attention, as well as a significant amount of cash. After all, after buying a pet, he will have to be put in some stable, paid for billets and services of some specialists: groom, horse-breeder, kovalya, veterinarian, caretaker and instructor. For this reason, before buying such a beautiful, but expensive animal, you should evaluate your strength and financial capabilities. In this article we will tell how much a horse costs.
Now the prices for horses vary greatly. First of all, they depend on the age, breed, suit, gender, health status and training of the horse. If you want to take a good sports horse, then its cost will depend on the degree of preparation, temperament, state of health and on the won competitions. If you want a horse for yourself, then, most likely, factors such as suit, height, breed, character and, of course, the health of your future pet will matter to you.
How much is a horse in the Russian Federation
The average price of a hobby class horse in the Moscow Region and Moscow is about 90,000 rubles. Consider the prices of horses offered by Russian stud farms:
- a hobby-class horse (for example, a Bashkir horse), suitable for both children and rather tall riders of various levels of training, costs from 60 to 90 thousand rubles;
- a horse for practicing on the ground and riding - from 90 to 150 thousand rubles;
- a sports horse (for example, the Akhal-Teke horse, Hanover, Trakenen and others) will cost from 200 to 700 thousand rubles;
- the cost of a foal or a young unrootted horse is about 30-50 thousand rubles.
On average, you will have to spend between 10 and 60 thousand rubles every month to keep one horse in Moscow or the Moscow region. The amount of standing will depend on the distance from the city, the range of services (walking, fresh grass in the summer, swimming pool, indoor playpen, barrel).
If you do not have the funds to buy a horse, then you can rent it. In this case, the animal will not be your property, but only you will ride it. How much does a horse rent for a month?
