In response to Cost of owning a horse in Minnesota posted by Lala14:

We figure it costs about $500.00 a year to properly maintain a horse that is ridden often. You can purchase tools and instruction books on trimming your horses feet. Many people in this area ride barefoot if they are not competing in speed events. Be aware that it can take over a year to get a shod horse into barefoot condition. It is better to purchase a young horse that has not been shod during primary training. Rocks and ice will not effect a horses hooves once they are conditioned.
