[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1770150, member: 42782"] It is true that horses are money pits and a plaything for the wealthy, but there are a lot of people here that keep their stock horses in their pastures, train, worm and vaccinate their horses with stuff from the feed store. They also trim their hooves themselves. I myself am not wealthy but I have had long distance trail horses all my life and I bought the first and best with my babysitting money. I cleaned my mom's house to pay for her feed. Later I worked my way though college still with horses and made a good living working as a nurse. Now I am retired and with horse #14. I already had all kinds of tack and a stock trailer. The inexperienced person thinking of buying a colt will have bitten off more than they can chew. They should not make a spoiled pet out of it and keep it in the backyard. This is not some kind of cowboy fantasy. They are going to need lots of money, especially if they board the horse and have it trained. If they want to get a horse they should look a middle aged experienced horse. Horses are expensive to buy these days, thats just because they have become rich people's playthings and the old plugs have been sold for meat. The price of hay and feed has gone sky high too. Thats why people keep them on descent pastures. [ATTACH type="full"]22585[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
