Horses are expensive and you having an inside track on free vet services makes your advice skewed.
Ironically, vet services are the things I use least. I guess I've been lucky cause in 20+ years of horse ownership I've never had a major medical event. My biggest expense, and one least cited here, is regular feeding- feed and hay.
But every complaint or negative mentioned here is applicable to most hobbies. Fishing, hunting, golf- they are all expensive and all require time and a commitment to be successful. It really boils down to your perspective about your hobby and what you put into it.

When I was around 20 years old I sold out. Truck, trailer, saddles, horses... everything. If I could get $5 for a set of spur straps I sold them. Bought a half ton truck, a 4wheeler, and had a lot of fun. Didn't have to worry about being home every morning and evening to feed. Could just throw my rigging bag (bull riding) in the bed of a truck or a friends car and strike out.
Has been very hard and expensive to get back where I was. 15 years and I still haven't found the right horse. Instead I have two pasture pets that I can't unload
