Comments on: Owning horse property vs boarding? http://www.hayscohc.org/hays-county-tax/owning-horse-property-vs-boarding Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:03:59 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: doxsgirl http://www.hayscohc.org/hays-county-tax/owning-horse-property-vs-boarding/comment-page-1#comment-4 doxsgirl Fri, 18 Sep 2009 23:06:59 +0000 http://www.hayscohc.org/hays-county-tax/owning-horse-property-vs-boarding#comment-4 I can't really give you exact cost estimates because I am not in your area but the cost of property, and you will need atleast 10 acres, is very expensive everywhere. You also need to look at what it will cost to be able to keep up your pastures (fetilizer and seed). If you are planning on having a manure spreader then you have the cost of a tractor and other equipment, I do not recommend a manure pile it attracts to many flies and such. With that you need to decide if you or the boarders are going to clean stalls or hire someone. I would suggest talking with some barns in your area and asking about their costs, this will give you a better idea of what to do.<br><b>References : </b><br> I can’t really give you exact cost estimates because I am not in your area but the cost of property, and you will need atleast 10 acres, is very expensive everywhere.

That's WAY high if you're not providing riding facilities.<br><b>References : </b><br> First problem I see there is that you are unlikely to find someone with an older horse or horse that can’t be ridden who will pay $300 per month.
