But even if you were going to pay the $200 a month for the rest of the horse's life, I think a rich guy with a big stable that is spending $3,000 a month per horse in training, can afford to take care of a few horse for $200 each a month.

$200 a month wouldn't even cover rough board in my neck of the woods...$250 rough board (meaning the horse never comes inside) or minimum $500 month for a stall...and that wouldn't include farrier (if barefoot $40 a trim every 6 weeks) and vet visits (minimum care.. $150 for vaccinations, $35 x 2 teeth)
but you are right about the rescue places...usually a one time donation will cover the horse for life.
