I live in Michigan... in a pretty small tourist town. We are the biggest town in the county so we house the county fair and there are a lot of horse people around here.

I show rabbits and at the fair I've met quite a few nice horse people... plus I am on our 4-H council and there are quite a few horse people on it too. lol So I know where to get help! There are two main places that do boarding here. One offers indoor at $300 a month and outdoor at $190 and little extra in the winter. The other place (my friend Jane) offers only outdoor for $150 a month. All the horses around here sell for very reasonable prices since we live in a pretty low populated area.

So that's good. Usually $2000 and under... I found a place that is about 1 hour away and this girl trains them to do tricks and stuff. XD Its sweeeet! She sells VERY well trained horses for amazing prices. I almost couldn't believe it. lol But I watched all the videos and these horses are great. She can even stand on them and they could care less. XD So needless to say, I found where I'm getting a horse! And probably only $900 or less!
So I think the biggest expense will just be vet care.. maybe farrier and stuff. I haven't checked up on the prices of that yet.
