You don't really need to be ferrying quarter million dollar horses to Europe to enjoy having horses. If you're not in an HCOL area, and not doing anything remotely fancy, you should be able to keep a horse for around $1k/month if you have a few grand buffer for vet emergencies, and you're not buying a lot of tack, equipment or supplies. You need to be into horses for their personalities, though, and willing to take on older/rescue cases, and not have fantasies of Olympic competition.
