Which hay is actually cheaper, what bedding really costs, and which single change saves the most
Three things a horse-cost calculator cannot ask. Which hay is cheaper: a bale is not a unit, and two sellers quoting five and forty-five may be offering the same value or half of it — weight, water and what spoils in storage sit between the price and the feed, and on the worked comparison the cheapest bale is the most expensive hay. What bedding really costs: three quarters of a stabled week is not the bedding at all, it is your own time and the muck heap, and neither appears on any invoice. And which change is worth making: the savings ranked, where switching bedding system turns out to be worth seven times a cheaper hay supplier and twenty-four times a longer shoeing cycle.
Every table is computed from the same modules behind the calculators on EFA National, so nothing in the pack can disagree with the site. No market figures appear anywhere: no typical hay prices, no average livery rates, no published bedding costs. Every number is either copied off your own quotes or is arithmetic on figures you supply.
This pack is about cost, not care. What a horse should be bedded on or fed are welfare and veterinary questions that decide the answer before price gets a vote.
