How much is board at each BNT? Let's compare

Post by liverp00l »

I've always wondered how much each BNT charges for board. I'm talking John French/Kent, Michael Britt-Leon, Havens Schatt, whoever. Or even if it's just a BNT in your area. Let's air it out, why not, they send it out to so many people who never end up with them so there's no way of them knowing you did it
I know there's the whole "if you can't ask you can't afford it"/they want you to inquire so they know you're interested, but I never understood why this shit isn't public facing. Not like it's proprietary info

I know she isn't BNT on the megacircuit but at least in VA for jumpers, and she's the only one I know of so I'll kick it off: Brooke Kemper is $2.5k/mo last time I asked

My area (PNW), the top barn that does WEF/Spruce, some stuff in Europe, is $4k/month for board and training. You pay splits at shows, but show grooming is not additional which is unusual (and frankly nice for clients). I know people with 4+ horses at this barn :shock:

Let's be clear. Michael Leon is not a Big Name Trainer.

Most BNTs in Florida (Ocala and Wellington) are 4k-5k a month per horse.

Does anyone know how much board costs for one horse at north run or capital hill? Those are two i've always wondered about.

It’s complicated, not just straight up board, because they also have a show requirement/minimum expenditure requirement.

This is ten years old now but this slew of Heritage invoices always circulates every now and then. If board and training was $3500 a horse in 2012, with todays inflation, surely more.
