If people think owning horses without riding them is foolish I beg them to watch golfers spend fortunes chasing little white balls."
Oh, Lois, this quote is a keeper. I married into a family of golfers who have always just thought I was nutty to have horses -- "They're so expensive." My very first horse property was a 3-acre place in Florida that we had to clear and fence ourselves. The first time my avid golfer MIL came to visit, she took a walk around and proclaimed it smelled like horse poop. Arrggghhh! The only thing that saved the marriage was moving far away from the inlaws. :^P BTW, right now I only have a mini horse. Guarantee ya I'm not riding him. But we are working on a version of dog agility training. It's a hoot. He jumps his little jumps, weaves through cones, walks a teeter board. There's lots you can do with a horse from the ground, if that's what you want to do. Or just enjoy their horsiness. so I say enjoy your horses however you like them and never mind what others think. Happy New Year! Karen in Northern Virginia, looking forward to the spring when I'll be adding a Fjord filly to the place. _________________________________________________________________ It's simple!
