It cost the trainer $600-$800 a month to feed a horse, supply bedding etc. Then you factor in your help and exercise riders you are in the $1000 a month range to train a horse. The owner pays for shoes, vet bills, etc. Depending on what track and what part of the country you are in I have seen rates as low as $40 a day up to over $160 a day (some of the big name trainers even more) to train your horse. Like about everything else some are getting rich and some are just getting by.
