Hi Marty!

if I had the cash from my wifes 28 yr horse showing addiction. I'd have a
new Archer with a virtually unlimited fuel & maintenance budget ;-)

But that 'is' 28 yrs worth of horses :-) Please congratulate her on a
worth while addiction!

My horse is worth more than my saddle, my saddle is worth more than my
car.... but from a guess at your figures, she married the right man!
;-)

However my friend has just bought a horse at a similar cost that would
I am told, put someone though their private pilot licence! But she will
be able to compete at world class level on it.

How much does a new Archer cost?

Regards


Our horse expenses were higher than most. Barn w/indoor arena & 16 12x10
stalls, 3 1-ton trucks over the years, 2 aluminum goose neck 7-horse
trailers. A number of T-Breds for English jumping & dressage, Appaloosas for
the Western stuff plus tack, feed etc.

She showed horses on the weekends, I went flying in my $12,000 Tri-Pacer
that ran on MoGas with an annual insurance cost $500.
But I also have a Hot Rod/Corvette addiction, that can be pricier than
flying also ;-)

Haven't looked at a new Archer price recently, but I'd guess it would get up
to around $200,000 equipped to my desires.

A freind of mine purchased his 1976Archer in 1980 for $12,000. It now has
new engine, paint, interior and an updated panel. Worth around $75,000 now.
