Equestrian sport is not a cheap pastime, but now it has become even more expensive.
Increased costs for transport and electricity have made the financial situation difficult for many horse owners, this is evidenced by several people SVT Nyheter spoke to.
- It is mainly the costs of hay and stable litter that have skyrocketed.
Hay is almost twice as expensive, says Fia Davidsson.
She believes that it is difficult to save money on the horses, without worsening their living conditions.
But there are some things horse owners can do to reduce their costs, says Fia Davidsson.
- We have some acquaintances who like to farm.
They come here and pick up horse manure so we don't have to empty the container as often.
