    and from what I hear will keel over and die any chance they get. I’m no expert though. but not being able to throw unwanted ingested items seems like a pretty big design flaw

          Can confirm.

          Expensive every month, expensive to treat, expensive to shoe, expensive to house/feed/etc.

          We are actually looking at property to do some farming, and a chunk of it will be for retired horses.

            love the enthusiasm! wish I could afford a farm… and if I did have one I wouldn’t bet on it.

              Well my wife is the one who knows her way around a farm, she’ll be running it, and I’ll be doing random manual labor as required.

              Its been ridiculous finding the right property though… What used to be $300-400k only 3 years ago is now selling for over a million. Its nuts. So most likely going empty land and building cheap to start…
