What are the costs of owning a horse? I know that the price of any horse depends on breed, bloodlines, age, gender, and training. What's else?

Overall, you wrote very correctly about the factors that affect the price of buying and keeping a horse. You will never know the exact price until you purchase the horse. That's all I can tell you.

I was lucky and inherited a horse from my relatives, so I didn't have to buy it. But it took me a lot of money to keep it. Of course, I could spend not so much money, but the point is that I loved that horse very much and wanted to give it the best I could. It took a lot of money to treat my horse when it got sick. If I had known then that I should have followed the tips from this article on Learn How to Treat a Horse, it would have cost me a lot less to treat. I'll leave you with this helpful article, for you may find it helpful.
