Just wondering ...how much money to put in a system like that in your area? Here it is cost prohibited for us, plus we like them to be in the biggest pasture we can give them for a natural horse lifestyle..... A 15' X 15' gravel area would cost us $600 (Not spread out...) not including the fencing, (each post on our land costs us about $60 to put in...we use trees whenever possible!) plus the full feeding every month at $30 a bale. We have 1 client who has a half acre completley dry lot, and 2 of hers still have fronts and one is barefoot. (1 is a 6 year foundered case who can not walk without shoes...all the vets told her to put her down, but she is rideable for light trails riding with special shoes) None of our other clients would go for anything that labor intensive and costly.
