How Much Does It Cost To Spay A Horse
Introduction
If you own a horse, you might be wondering if it is worth it to have them spayed. The cost of spaying a horse varies, depending on several factors. Spaying a mare will cost between $1,200 and $1,500 while spaying a stallion can range from $2,000 to $7,500. If a horse is older or has any health complications, the procedure may cost more since they are considered high-risk cases.
According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the costs of spaying a horse can range from US$1,500 to US$2,500. A complex or challenging surgery can be even more expensive.
Depending on the complexity of the surgery and the horse, spaying a horse can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500. A complex or challenging surgery will be more expensive. For example, if your veterinarian has to perform an emergency cesarean section because something went wrong during labor, or if you have a difficult-to-handle mare who requires sedation and restraint before she’s able to be operated on safely.
If this is your first time dealing with veterinary care for animals—or even just working with veterinarians—you may want to ask friends and family members who own horses about their experiences so that you can learn more about what goes into these procedures before making any decisions about how much money you’re willing to spend on them.
The veterinary surgeon may also charge a facility fee to cover the expenses of operating room, staff and equipment.
The facility fee is the cost of the operating room, staff and equipment. The amount charged for this fee will depend on the size of the hospital and city in which it is located. The facility fee is not included in the cost of spaying a horse, but it may be discounted if you pay for multiple procedures at once or have an annual plan with your veterinarian.
If the horse is ill or has other complicating factors that increase the length of surgery, costs will be higher. The hospital stay for recovery after surgery is also taken into account in determining the total cost.

- The medical and surgical professional fees are usually reasonable but can add up to a substantial amount if more complicated procedures are needed such as those involving radiographic imaging, anesthesia or extended postoperative care.
If your horse is going for spaying surgery due to another underlying health issue, it’s important to take care of that issue first. This will ensure that your horse has a successful recovery from surgery.

This can be done through diet, exercise and a good supplement program. I would even recommend starting one before the vet says it’s time to do the spay surgery. The reason is simple: If you wait until after surgery and your horse still isn’t feeling well or recovering quickly, then you’ve spent all this money on something that didn’t work and didn’t fix anything at all!
So make sure that whatever other problem your mare has been having gets cleared up before she goes in for her spay procedure—that way both of you will have more peace of mind when she comes home from her trip into town with us!
Takeaway: Spaying a horse costs between US$1,500 and US$2,500
If you’re thinking of having your horse spayed, know that the cost of spaying a horse can vary widely. The most expensive part of this procedure is the surgery itself. Vets will charge between US$1,500 and US$2,500 for an ovariohysterectomy (the removal of both ovaries and uterus). If your mare has to have other procedures done before or after her surgery, things get even pricier. For example:
- If she needs to be in a hospital for any reason during her recovery period (which will last about 10 days), that’ll cost you about US$1,000 per day.
- If she’s ill and needs medication during her recovery period—or if the vet discovers something else wrong with her while doing their pre-surgical exam—there may be additional costs associated with treatment beyond just performing the surgery itself.
