I make my own hay, but I pay attention. It's cheaper here than a lot of places I think.

I said $400 on the low end. Average here for full stall board is around $500. World Show level WP trainers charge $750 which includes training.

That seems a little bit less expensive than my area, but comparable depending on what kind of weather you have. Here, you need access to a covered arena if you plan to train during winter and spring, due to so much rain. Mud-free turnout areas are often a challenge, so large gravel or hog-fuel winter paddocks, that open up to grass pastures from late spring to whenever the rain starts in the fall, is what the best places try to do.
Which takes a lot of creativity when it comes to safe fencing, adding to the cost.
A safe place here with either an indoor or all-weather outdoor, and mud-free turnouts, averages about $600.
