We had horses for yrs and what I came to realize is this, unless you have plenty of land available for riding them ? They're a pain in the arse!! Had to be home every day at 5 to feed them ( the cost has been discussed so won't go there) had to be up every morn at 6 to feed them , they break the fence ? Gotta fix it no matter the weather ( and in Mi winter snow to fanny? No fun) then if you don't ride them often they get to where they don't like being ridden. The day comes eventually when they die, and what do you do with them ? You get a backhoe and dig a deep hole next to where they dropped and roll them in ! I have tried to keep this short because I could go on becuse that's just a few of the high points. We havnt touched on the work involved after a good hard ride lol !! But like I said , if you have plenty of land and lots of time to spend with them ? They can be fun but an awfull lot of work and time involved!!! On the other hand , when it comes to my bike? I go out to barn , start it , ride the hell out of it and when done? I put it back in the barn and close the door untill next time. I understand owning horses for some but never again for me!! We spent the last 10 yrs of ownership waiting for the last two to die , they were to old to ride and just kept on living and eating and craping ! For my $$ I'd rather own cows, you can either milk them or if not milkers you get to eat them when they get big. Lol but my family always said cows would end up as pets and we could never eat a pet WTH I use to say " maybe you can't but I could" roflmao !!! Don't mean to discourage you but they are just not for me anymore, I'm much happier with Millie and will just stick with her . Besides I don't think my back would care to much for a horsey ride these days lol
