My wife is shopping for a horse!
« on: March 11, 2022, 03:52:46 PM »
 She’s been looking everywhere but apparently the good ones sell through word of mouth and not “classifieds”. Here’s her wants: 14-15 hands, 8-15yo, bombproof farm horse, riding around the property (50-100 acres, ours and the neighbors, flatland), giving kids rides, no gaming horses, sound. Just casting out a hope! 🙂

 Is rustling still a crime? 😂 She’s getting a bit difficult to live with!

Only if you get caught.  :)

I will hit my parents up and see if they have a line on one for sale as they are in the business.

Got two farm horses I'd love to give you. Problem is they belong to, yes, my wife. Good luck to you. Lots of new fencing to keep you busy. You're gonna learn farrier work and how to stick needles in large creatures that already don't like you. Vets are real cheap too😆

I once had an uncle that had a saying…”They gotta catch ya’ before they can hang ya’”. He wasn’t a mean guy (never drank or smoked) but he couldn’t help but skirt the game laws. 99% of the time it was ducks or fish (salmon or steelhead). He would rather shoot a cormorant than a mallard any day. I had to pay attention when I was out with him! He was fun to be with….laughed a lot…very cheerful!

😂 No sheet! We’ve been thru a few horses over the years. They can be a lot of work for sure! The worst part is having to shoot one when it’s time…I do hate that part even with me not being a horse person. On a lighter side….did you know a horse sheets 15 times a day! When 2 are locked in a paddock due to “whatever” reasons “the boss” decides that that there is a lotta work when your the only one healthy enough to do the work! Happy wife, happy life!…as long as I get my fall hunting! 😀

I was sure prices would come down after horse folks saw hay prices.  Seems its still impossible to find a good deal.

I don’t know where all she has looked. Her budget is 4-5k.
