ESTIMATED COSTS

Yearling breaking:

$70 a day, which drops to $50 when the
horses are turned out.

Training costs when

stabled at a racetrack:

$90 a day which covers everything other
than veterinarian bills, van costs, stakes,

Owners are also responsible for their
individual licensing costs.

include:

• Monthly blacksmith work, typically four
shoes changed every 30 days.
$175 a month.

• Supplements $180 per month.

Flynn says, “Clients should expect to pay
$1,500 (basic turn-out) to $3,500 (full training
at the track) a month for each horse”.
