Horses are very expensive companion animals. Before you buy or adopt a horse, here are some things you will want to consider.
How much does it cost to feed a horse?A full grown horse generally will eat three 50 pound bales of grass hay a week. Hay costs about $5 a bale for decent green hay. So that is $15 a week, $60 a month. Then if your horse is thin or high energy you will have to feed them grain, which costs an average of $10 a bag. Vitamins and supplements cost $50 per large bucket and last about 3 months. Total Cost to Feed 1 horse per month $80
Horses Feet need to be trimmed Then your horse will need its feet trimmed regularly, Most farriers will charge about $30 every 6 weeks to care for your horses feet. Or $75 if the horse needs shoes on all four feet. Total cost per month average to care for a horses feet: $60
Does a horse need Vaccinations, and de-worming?Your horse will need vaccinations and de worming in the spring and fall if he is to stay healthy. Vaccinations cost about $60 per set, and wormer about $10 per set. On average expect to pay about $10 a month for vaccinations and wormer per horse.
I don’t have my own place to keep a horse. What can I expect to pay for boarding? Boarding a horse can be expensive. For a general run of the mill stable expect to pay $125 per month to stall the horse and have it put out on pasture daily.
My horse will need regular vet care. What will that cost?
Your horse will get injured or sick. Keep a savings of $2000 or more aside if you expect to keep your horse healthy. Average vet bill is $720 per year. Veterinary care $60 per month
Saddles Tack Truck and Trailer, fencing and stable maintenanceYou will of course need to purchase a saddle, saddle pad, grooming supplies, truck and trailer to move your horse around, if you were to make payments on these items it would cost you $300 a month for at least 10 years.
Total Cost to keep 1 horse monthly: $585
Total Time to maintain 1 horse per month: 56 hours
There are many rescue organizations that need our help. Please consider the above facts, BEFORE, adopting a rescue horse. Thanks, Karin

Equestrian Clinics
Equestrian Clinics is an educational website that provides members with a
front row seat to clinics with equestrian’s top trainers.
Our goal is to bring the equestrian community together with a continuing
education program of demonstrations, exercises and life experiences. Books and
magazines are a great resource for riders of all levels. But at Equestrian Clinics,
we believe that since humans are visual creatures, we learn more from
demonstrations. Watching other riders make mistakes that we can relate to and
then watching the correction is a powerful learning tool. Having the visual imprint
of correct riding is a tremendous benefit in advancing your skill as a rider.
We are approaching trainers all over the world to allow us to “take a peek”
at their lessons and clinics. In a perfect world with money and time limitless,
many of us would travel to these fantastic clinics and watch in person. Since that
is not always possible, Equestrian Clinics brings the clinics to you. We also
encourage riders to participate in clinics personally and watching these wonderful
trainers will prepare them for their clinic.
These clinics stream on our website, www.EquestrianClinics.com, and are
available to our members (Member fees go towards covering some of the
production costs. There are no profits realized.) Each month we feature a new
full-length clinic with a top hunter, jumper or dressage trainer as well as
numerous training tips. We have shot with such trainers as George Morris, Anne
Kursinski and Frank Madden. We are thrilled to have our first opportunity to shoot
with such talented members of the dressage community with Karin Offield’s Tool
Box Symposium.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping us to create this
tremendous educational opportunity for trainers and riders of all levels.

For U.S. Debut, World Equestrian Games Get Olympic Treatment
By: Carolyn Braff, Managing Editor | Published: September 15, 2010
This year, for the first time, the equestrian world championships have come to the United States, and an Olympic veteran will be producing coverage for the world. Jim Carr, principle of Carr-Hughes Productions, has worked on 10 Olympic Games for CBS and NBC and will serve as senior coordinating producer for the World Equestrian Games, a competition taking place Sept. 25-Oct. 10 in Lexington, KY. With all the challenges of a human Olympics — including venues that are not yet complete — plus the added complexity of putting cameras alongside horses, Carr has an intricate plan.
“Carr-Hughes Productions is based out of Saratoga Springs, NY, which is another horse area for thoroughbreds,” Carr says. “We were awarded the contract back in 2005-06 to handle the world feeds and also domestic coverage on NBC and Universal Sports, so we’ve got a plan in place.”
Partner With NEP
That plan, which will deliver 130 hours of world-feed coverage and 30-plus hours of domestic coverage, was developed in cooperation with NEP. Three NEP mobile-production units will be on-site to support the coverage of all eight events, plus opening and closing ceremonies: Summit will serve as the main control room, SS10 will support competitions from the indoor arena, and Super B will provide studio integration and transmission.“Over the last five years, the folks at Kentucky Horse Park invested heavily in putting in a single-mode–fiber infrastructure,” Carr explains. “We have fiber going to the indoor arena, main stadium, and a couple of the other venues, all brought back to a central compound.”
Instead of moving mobile units around to each of the competition venues on different days, that fiber infrastructure allows Carr’s team to bring every feed into one central compound. That way, for the largest events, such as cross- country, which require 30 cameras, all the facilities in the compound can be used without having to pack up and unpack somewhere else.
“We’re linking everything together all the time,” Carr says. “Summit is the lead truck, but SS10 is doing some subcutting for these events, because you have different horses on the course at the same time, so it gets a little bit complicated.”
It Works for Golf
Carr’s team has boiled that complicated setup down to a science. In the past, the coverage followed a single horse as it left the gate and traveled through the entire event, ignoring the other two horses that had joined the course since the first started. Now Carr’s team mimics a golf production, jumping from the start to the finish to the middle of the course, mixing and matching storylines to show the best action at any given time.All together, Carr’s team has 40 cameras at its disposal, including beauty and point-of-view cameras, ENG packages with XDCAM HD, and super-slo-mos to cover the full 16 days of action. All the coverage will be produced in HD, supported by four Avid edit suites networked with EVS servers.
“That is very similar to what we do for the Olympics with NBC,” Carr says. “We integrate the Avids with the EVSs and bring clips over that way.”
Five Chyron Duet graphics engines are also interfaced with the scoring and timing vendor to provide clocks and live results, which are then embedded into the feed. Toronto-based Big Studios helped Carr develop an animation and graphics package that will be unique to this event.
Camera-Shy Athletes
Also unique to this event is the challenge of with a different type of athlete. Horses, it turns out, do not always love the camera the way their human counterparts do.“You can’t put a camera so close that you’re going to spook a horse,” Carr points out. “You have to take that into consideration. A lot of times you want to put a camera in a certain area, but you can’t be in the horse’s view, so you have to work around that.”
Another workaround comes with any Olympic-size production: waiting for the venues to be complete.
“They’ve been building all these venues up until the last minute, so only when they’re finally built can I determine where to put a camera,” Carr says. “We have been waiting to finalize a lot of stuff for when the stands are finished, but we’ve had a good game plan all along.”
A Wide World Feed
In addition to providing domestic coverage for NBC and Universal Sports, Carr’s production of the world feed will be shown in Brazil, France, Germany, Holland, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, among other countries.“We’re getting pretty good exposure this year,” Carr says.
Around 50 staff members from countries taking the world feed will be on-site in Kentucky to add their own embellishments to the coverage, in addition to the 160 Carr-Hughes crew members on-site. That should make for a crowded — and international — production comp
The winners and their stories of the Lingh Story Contest will be published ! Thanks to everyone that made the contest so successful.

Charlotte Haid-Bondergaard’s Holsteiner gelding Lydanius (by Lorentin) has a history of colic and on Monday evening he suffered from another bout. The gelding has been treated at Helsingborg equine clinic and was already able to go back home the next morning. Lydanius should now be completely recovered. The WEG Dressage team will be represented by the trio Patrik Kittel (Scandic), Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven (Favourit) and Minna Telde (Larina Hom). Good Luck to all !!!!

” Here’s a pic of Smokey and I after our ride in the clinic -we are both sweaty as we had worked with collected canter, changes, and canter pirouettes. Smokey is 14yrs young and he is an appendix quarter horse that has matured to 17hds. I would like a smaller size horse but Smokey must have been late to mature as he continued to grow after I purchased him as a 5yr old.” DM
Hi Karen,
