Save Money on Vet and Farrier Bills
Sometimes money can be tight, and one of the easiest ways to save money is by reducing your vet and farrier cost. The #1 way to save money at the vet is don't use health tonics! Unless you can afford them, don't use health tonics unless absolutely necessary. If you can't afford them even then, try showing your horse less, or just giving it a day off to get it's health back up.
Another way to save money at the vet and farrier is by not overpaying. Why use the $1000 full examination at the vet if all they need is to be dewormed?
