As I mentioned before the purchase price of a horse is nothing compared to the up-keep, maintenance, Tack, and what I loosely call "stuff" which encompasses everything else..My horse is out side 24/7 which I am grateful for, he doesn't have the neurotic tendencies of a stabled horse. However, being outside has its own issues, rain rot, scald, scratches, bug bites, horse bites, kicks, loosing shoes and various other means of getting themselves in trouble. I have never understood why horses seem so accident prone, whether it is because of their playful nature, or just being a magnet towards calamity. It also seems they manage to hurt themselves right before an event that they will be needed for...whats up with that? Lol.

They just seem to be playful by nature I guess! Or just luck in that sense. Irony and all. Yea, the purchase is easy compared to upkeep. But hey, he's worth it right?
ReplyDeleteyes he is! And they are playful by nature..that is why keeping them engaged and busy keeps them from getting too board
