Welcome!

Hello, Fonkety ponk, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

[edit] Horse care

Hi I need to know how much it costs to take care of one horse for one month. I also need to know much one horse eats a day.--Fonkety ponk 22:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Price ranges tremendously, depending on where you live and what activities you participate in. You have to consider the price of feed, shots and vet care, farrier care, transportation, equipment and maintence of equipment, etc. Also if you own your own land or have to board your horse--things like water and electric bills would also be a factor. Figure though, that it probably costs about as much to keep a horse as it would cost to rent a small apartment.
As for food, a horse can consume up to 2.5% of their body weight in food per day, hence an average 1,000 pound horse can eat up to 25 pounds of food per day--not that they always should...horse, like people, sometimes get too fat and need to go on diets, or, some may be too skinny and need lots of concentrated food. Their feed intake also depends on their level of work. The question is also how that total food intake is balanced between hay (or pasture) and grain. A racehorse, for example, might get a small amount of very rich hay, like alfalfa, maybe 15 pounds a day with 10 pounds of grain. A pleasure horse that gets ridden several times a week might get 20 pounds of a grass-alfalfa mix hay with some grain, while an old pet that just sits around all day doing nothing probably should only eat 10-15 pounds of grass hay and no grain at all. Hope this helps! Montanabw 22:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
