Re: Collectors
This message is from: Genie Dethloff gdp...@comcast.net We had bought land in Michigan in the start of a small horse community that was adjacent to a long standing one. Due to job instability we sold the land and never built there. A month after we sold, my husband's company closed it's facility in Ann Arbor and we had to move, phew!. When we moved to Connecticut I had hoped to find a horse community like in Tryon to live in but there were none here. We are considering buying into a community in Tryon for retirement. I have had two negative boarding experiences here, facilities and trainers that did not meet my horse's needs and am so frustrated. Soon I start the search for a new trainer and facility and have thought about trying to rent a horse farm and do a co-op barn. I would manage the business end, but not live there and have a live in farm manager. People would pay board depending on how many hours of care they wanted to provide. We would have a trainer come in for lessons or find a combined live in trainer manager. Nice dream! I am currently without a horse to care for so I can take my time in finding the right set-up, whether it be a trainer who owns a facility or setting up one. Unfortunately, there are very few indoor arenas here. The terrain is very hilly and rocky and you have to blast out for level areas. There are tons of small backyard horse barns, many right off the state forest trail system, but few have even good outdoor arenas. There are better areas for horse farms but they are more of a drive from home. If I could afford it, I would buy a farm that had enough land that several home sites could be developed and a small horse community could be developed with like minded people. Lots would be small with most land for common use. People would have the option of backyard boading or boarding in the central facility. My only fear of this kind of set-up is that you might have people buy in whose riding and horse care philosophies don't mesh with yours, even though you thought they would, or they sell to someone else who doesn't fit in. Now you are stuck with sharing facilities with them. It is bad enough if you have neighbors whose habits you don't like, but when you board your horses together it could get real bad. My husband is very supportive of horse communities because he wouldn't have to be a full time farmer. We could watch and enjoy the horses from the house without being responsible for all of the care of the farm. Food for thought for the future. This message is from: Melinda Schumacher melinda.schumac...@gmail.com I am totally in favor of a horse community where all that land is for horse pastures and the club house is the barn/arena complex where competent people look after the animals and *esp* the manure! We could live in condos or garden homes that are beautifully landscaped and someone else takes care of all the mowing, pruning, show removal, etc. -- Genie Dethloff and Pjoska Killingworth, Connecticut Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
Collectors
This message is from: katesei...@aol.com It makes me worry about becoming one of those people you see on Animal Cops - the ones who collect animals for no reason other than they seem to want more. I do *not* especially want another horse. I really have no need for another horse. And having another horse would really disrupt my sweet little farm balance. But, I cannot look at these emails with horses for sale without going to check them out and giving extensive thought to how they would fit in with us. Honestly, what is *wrong* with me.

Re: Collectors
This message is from: Lois Berenyi bossm...@atmc.net I have no farm, no prospects of such, am too old to start up again and I STILL check out all those horses for sale. Here's a suggestion but there would have to be some geographic relevance to make it work. A horse swap. I take yours, you take mine. We get to know their personalities and good and bad habits. After the novelty of the new horse wears off we are either eager to get our own back or eager to keep swapping hoping there may be a permanent swap. Occasionally I have contemplated buying a summer place with pasture and barn around Tryon, NC (real horse country) but how do I enjoy a horse for several weeks before having to go back to the permanent home on the golfcourse? So I thought a swap would work there too.somebody gets to send one of their horses on a vacation to my pastures which gives a possibly ignored horse some TLC attention, reduces their horse care and expenses temporarily and the horsenut (me) gets to play a bit with the pony and then send it back. Something like having grandkids come to think of it.

We could live in condos or garden homes that are beautifully landscaped and someone else takes care of all the mowing, pruning, show removal, etc. We could watch our horses from our individual paddocks or small pastures behind the house, and go trail riding or driving along the cart paths or up into the adjacent national/state parkland. Etc. That's the kind of development I want to live in.

For collectors of horse lore
This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I got this interesting tidbit from THE CHEF ezine: HISTORY OF THE BAGEL ... The bagel's origins were in Europe and as the story goes, a famous Austrian prince, known as a great horseman, was planning a trip to a small Polish town durning the late 1500's. In honor of his arrival, the baker decided to bake some bread in the shape of saddle's stirrup with in Polish is pronounced bugel. To retain the round shape and round hole in the center, the baker boiled the dough before baking, hence the bagel's unique texture, appearance and taste characteristics. As the Polish Jews arrived in the United States, they brought the bugel concept with them, and eventually Americanized the name to bagel. P.S. Sorry for the double posting of yesterday's message. I got reprimanded by the list owner! Cynthia Madden Omaha, Nebraska USA email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
