When we consider the basic needs of the horse we also need to take a look at where spending is a positive thing. Let me say it again - Spending is Positive. Spending is Positive when the outcome is in the benefit of the horse and can create a solution for the source of an issue.
Solution for the Source; treat the problem not the condition. That is a simple rule all Economic Equestrians should live by.
If you consider the various treatments for any issue in the Equine world you will notice that we are quick to treat symptoms or issues, however finding the cause or source is seldom. Now consider the time and funds you probably have spent in the past. Did it fix the Cause or find the source? How much time did you spend searching for alternative answers because you didn't want to spend the big money?
Food for thought today. Do the math and you will see that treating the source and spending the money will almost always be more economic in the end - even if it doesn't feel like it when you write the check.
