Let’s be honest — horses don’t just eat hay, they eat money too!

In this episode of the Equine’n’Wine Podcast, sisters Emma-Jane in Ireland and Lorna in South Africa pour a glass and break down the real costs of horse ownership. From livery fees, farrier bills, and endless tack shopping to those surprise vet call-outs that make your bank account whinny in pain — nothing is off limits.

They share funny stories of unexpected expenses, compare prices between Ireland and South Africa, and offer their own horsey money-saving hacks (from barefoot trimming to DIY yard jobs). Plus, this week’s Sister Showdown asks: what’s the biggest waste of money in the horse world — supplements, saddle pads, or overpriced show entries?

If you’ve ever wondered what it really costs to keep a horse, or just need reassurance you’re not alone in spending more on your horse’s physio than your own, this one’s for you.
