Cost us probably £8K or so a year all in. More if you include all the £10 this and that’s along the way.

The only porker I’m likely to be able to justify at this point is a fucking diesel Cayenne. A really, really cheap one, 20th hand. With a tow bar.
We pay £75 per month dog insurance, I hate to think how much it costs for a horse.
