With horses there is always something you can get, so how much they cost a year is dependent on how much you want to spend a year.
you can board a horse for around 300$ a month if you dont have your own land, if you have your own place you can build your own barn, my barn cost me right at $50,000, food depends on what you feed, I have show horses so I feed them grain twice a day, bermuda hay all they want, Alfalfa hay at noon and Alfalfa pellets morning and evening, plus various vitamins and suppliments, then you have the farrier every 8 weeks at about $75 per horse, if their teeth are not done you have to have them floated at about 300$, then you have fly blankets and fly masks for the summer and the list goes on. Oh ya, cant have a horse without a horse trailer, you can get them cheap or you can buy a nice one, mine is about middle I think, its a 2 horse warm blood trailer, this means its extra tall, made for big horses, mine was about 12,500 new.
Or you can just go on the cheap like allot of the ropers in my area and just toss your horse out in a field with no shade, a bucket of water and toss some hay on the ground for them. Not very healthy for the horse, they dont stay clean, but its cheaper.
