As an example for say a 16hh happy hacker:
All rough estimates but to give you an idea.
If you are keeping it at grass you say its £15 per wk.
Feed - £10-£15 per wk roughly.
Hay - £10 per week roughly as its winter.
Shoes - £60-£70 every six weeks.
Insurance - £30-£50 per month.
Wormer - £10-£15 every three months or as stated.
Vaccinations - £50-£80 per year roughly.
Bits and pieces (fly spray, shampoo etc..) £5 per week.
Hope this gives you some idea.
