Steve RA Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Unless it belongs to children, if so, suck it up for a little while longer as they will lose interest in it and then you can sell it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallurgist Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 My wife has a horse breeding business and we have been down sizing.... We are down to 9 now....

GrumpyOne Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I grew up on a small farm. We had chickens, ducks, quail, rabbits, pigs, and cattle...fruit trees and the regular garden stuff....One day, when I was still very young, I asked my dad why we didn't have any horses, cause we had everything else...it was a very simple answer...You don't eat horses. In todays world, they are an anachronistic object. No real use anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatsauce Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I don't know about not eating horse... I tried horse in Canada and if you're a fan of red meat, you'll like horse meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My wife was riding and competing since before she could ride a bike so when we met in our thirties and married in our early forties I had a good idea what I was in for. We built our house on forty acres and the horses moved with us. Spent $75,000 on the barn and $15,000 on the arena and fencing and at last count we have 14 saddles and countless other pieces of horse related equipment. But we have been able to teach our nieces and nephews how to ride and the responsibilities that go along with keeping a living thing happy and healthy. And a big plus for parents is that if their girls get deeply involved in riding and competition they tend to get past all that teenage boy crazy stuff. Yes I would do it all over again even if it means giving up vacations and keeping my cars for ten years. And my wife encourages me spend what we have left in our budget on guns and shooting.
