How much does It cost to keep a horse in Ireland ?

I’m thinking about buying a horse but I want to know the exact costs involved(livery,farrier,dentist,tack,vet,feed etc) I live In north dublin so would probably be looking at a livery yard around there or less than 30 Min’s away

Full livery can be from 90 to 120 euro per week, anymore is far too much.
DIY livery is from 50 euro and grass can be from 30 euro.
Half livery is probably similar in price to diy, however some yards can abuse this.

Vets and dentist charge around 60 per visit, farriers will vary, usually it’s about 40 to 60 for a full set of shoes. If you are not doing particularly hard work you can opt for two front shoes.

I was also considering buying a horse but have had to hold it off.

Was in a yard the other day anyway to have a look and have to say it was disgraceful.
Filthy yard, wire all over the tiny ragworth covered fields, a tiny arena, no atmosphere and in the stables so little bedding i could see the cement floor, they were using straw to so it’s not like would be expensive to have a fuller bed, they were charging 90 euro, i wouldn’t keep a horse there is i was paid 90 euro.
Inspect a few yards before you choose one.

One of the best riding centres in Dublin is carrickmines, i don’t know if they do livery anymore and it could be expensive these days.
There is also a few just outside Dublin around Kildare, such as a few yards in Maynooth and Naas
