        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…
