You will almost never make any money breeding and selling. If so you must equate it to the same profit margin you have for cattle because it cost at least the same money to feed and raise a foal as a calf. Meaning by the time the horse is a yearling you must sell for around $800 to $1000 to make a profit of around $350. After that you are loosing money and your profit margin will narrow unless you can gain equity in your horse by training and showing, the value will not get much higher and you must by then sell for a much higher price to gain back this investment. --- In a nutshell forget trying to make money doing this. Money is made in horses by providing a service such as training, farrier, or vetrinary service.
