The Real Cost of Owning a Horse (and Why We’d Still Do It All Over Again)

The Real Cost of Owning a Horse (and Why We’d Still Do It All Over Again)

Let’s be honest — whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” clearly never owned a horse. Because while they might drain your bank account faster than a spilled bag of grain, they somehow fill your heart right back up every single day.

Owning a horse isn’t for the faint of wallet. There’s the tack, the vet bills, the farrier, the supplements, the emergency supplements, and the new saddle pad you definitely didn’t need but couldn’t resist. (It’s not your fault — it matched your boots perfectly.)

And that’s exactly how Horse Fund Designs came to be. My horse, Duck, is my muse, my money pit, and my motivation. Every witty, snarky design I create is fueled by the same thing that keeps every horse girl going: pure love and a little bit of sarcasm.

So yes, horses are expensive. But they’re also grounding. They remind us to slow down, to breathe, and to laugh — especially when life gets muddy (literally).

Every time you shop Horse Fund Designs, you’re not just supporting a small business — you’re contributing to hay money, vet bills, and the never-ending tack wishlist. But more than that, you’re celebrating the wild, wonderful, slightly chaotic world of being a horse person.

Because at the end of the day, no matter how much it costs, we all know one thing for sure — it’s always worth it.
