Just be sure you get it in writing, that for every new horse she gets, you get a new boat. ($3,000-$20,000+ depending on what you buy)

For every set of horse shoes, (needed every 5 weeks) you get a new trap harness. ($130)

For every Vet visit, you get a new jib. ($500)

For every 4 month's feed bill, you get a new spinnaker, and a new main at the end of the year. ($1,000)

That is the price equivelent for 1 horse. We have 5.

And remember, somebody has to stay home and feed it twice a day, and clean the poop out of the stall, twice a day, that's why my wife has never left Sebring, in 11 years with free Delta Air Lines travel available, ever since we built a barn and started keeping them on site instead of paying board. Or, you could board it out, and pay between $350-500/mo. depending on where you board.


If we didn't have -any- horses, I'd be sailing a Gunboat 62 in St. Maarten. That is the price equivelent of owning and showing horses for the past 15 years.

Still want a horse? Remember, one leads to two, leads to 4, etc...Oh, and like kids, as soon as she gets one, you will go to the -bottom- of the pecking order, as in, it/they are much more important to her than you, you just get to write the checks.

Good luck.
