[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 462148, member: 539"] It would appear that you like extra, unnecessary work - i.e. cleaning stalls and rebedding them. :lol: :lol: To each their own! I don't like cleaning stalls so, as far as I'm concerned, it is a very simple matter of evaluating the horses contribution, any special qualities that horse may have (for example, we have a horse whose disposition, and temperament averted a disastrous wreck one day. She is not needed, and she is costing money via hay but, because of her actions on that particular day, she will have a home here until she dies - or until we can find someone whom we trust to properly take care of her) and taking the appropriate action. Either confine them to a corral and feed hay, or sell them - your choice. Something else to think about is this - generally speaking, horses don't make money, whereas cattle do. Harsh? Probably. On a sidenote, I'm not sure if you understand the difference or not, but I would also be careful about 'cowboys' advice. There are cattlemen/women, there are horsemen/women, and then there are cowboys - and cowboys usually don't have a clue about much of anything, except how to talk big and sound important. ;-) Maybe that is not a problem in other parts of the country, but you asked for comments. Here is mine. [/QUOTE]
