From what you describe I would say that around Ottawa that type of
facility would run somewhere between $300-$500. The reason for
the big range is that there are many factors that affect price.
Quality of care (meaning individualized everything and anything:
feeding, blanketing, booting, turnout, medical care, etc.), experience
and reputation of staff, proximity to the city, reputation of the
coach/trainer, access to arena/ring, quality of footing, access to
jumps/cross country/properly sized dressage ring, quality of fencing,
are just a few of the factors that affect price. Figure out costs
versus what would need to be charged to make a living, looking at both
only filling some stalls to filling all of them. If the price
starts out reasonable relative to facilities and experience of staff,
the price can always be raised in reasonable increments as improvements
are made to the facility or costs go up.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

You can look prices up on alot of websites if you want to look
around. Keep in mind that reputation of the facility/trainer are
also factors in price and is something that is assessed by each
individual.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
