The Cost of Owning Horses in the Suburbs – Average Cost & Expenses For Horses

Horses – Wild horses

In today’s society about 20% of families in the United States own more than one horse.

Thousands of other families living in urban or suburban communities with small acres of land and some with no land at all would like to own a horse or two. Many of these families have very little to no knowledge in owning horses in the suburbs or urban horse keeping.

Milk and History
Mongolia is the only place in the world where wild horses exist (the “wild” horses in the US are actually feral). On the Mongolian steppes, tribes of nomads still domesticate wild horses, where they milk them and occasionally slaughter them for meat.

The mares’ milk is used to make a fermented drink similar to yogurt. Milking a wild mare is no easy task; the milker needs to use a foal to start the flow of milk, but then immediately pull the foal away to collect the milk. But the milker must keep the foal close — if the mare doesn’t feel the foal touching her flank, she’ll resist the milking process.

If you keep you horse at home with suitable basic arrangements, then your monthly expenses will likely be lower than they would if you boarded your horse at a full service barn. The cost in time and effort on the other hand will be higher, due to all the chores that come with keeping a horse at home. If you have a schedule that permits you some time & you plan well then this arrangement can be very enjoyable.

-You need to learn about buying and how to buy a horse.
- Horse care & handling
- You also need knowledge of horse equipment.

Nadaam
The Nadaam Festival is a yearly sporting event in Mongolia, featuring horse racing, wrestling and archery. Held each July in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, the festival begins with an elaborate opening ceremony which includes music and dancing. The horse race is cross-country, and horses race in individual classes separated by age. The top five horses in each class are awarded.

The Uses of Mongolian Horsetail Hair
Strong enough to be braided into rope, the hair from Mongolian horses’ tails is also delicate enough to be used by luthiers to make violin bows. It is possibly the most valued hair on earth.
