    "we're gonna be getting a pair of horses in the near future" Ask around at your local feed store and seek out your local Farrier. He is probably the best one to ask if there are any horse for sale. He would also be able to give you insight as to the temperment, horses health, ect, since he probably has worked on them.

    You need stalls. Stalls keep them contained so they can't get into mayhem (think thunder storm, fire...horses can kick a barn door open). Stalls need to be a good size but not so big that they can climb out...yep seen a horse do this too.They like to feel safe and stalls do this. It also inssures that each are the proper amount of feed and one isn't eatting the others meal amoung other things....you need stalls. If a horse gets it into his/her brain that she wants out of the barn, like as in yesterday, he/she will GET out of the barn (just try stopping a 1200 lb animal), stalls make it a little harder to do that. Nothing worse then a horse running a muck on a neighbors yard or on the highway. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    See I always stood in front of my horse (held onto his halter) when the farrier was doing his thing. Joe didn't mind it, but it was just an "assurance" thing for him, me, and the farrier. Though I believe that if Joe did try anything my farrier was so salty that he would bite the horse back!!! Nothing like a great farrier (one that knows what the fuck he is doin!)! Can save ya huge amounts of money when they have seen and done everything when it comes to horses!! Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    Every time you groom your horse, which should be once if not twice (after riding) daily, you should be cleaning their hooves. Frogs and all!! Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    "Pole Bending - can you work your horse at a gallop?" This event ROCKS too! I love doing this!!!!!! BUT, the horse has to love it too! Which mine did. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    Your post makes me think even harder about how someone can lease a horse. Whether is be the leasee or leasor. That bond HAS to be there and then to give it up or wonder even more if my horse is "ok"??! I just don't see how someone can do it. Note to all...not saying it is a bad thing for YOU, but personally I wouldn't/couldn't do it! Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    "I want to compete in *something" Why not look into Cutting? It is a heck of alot of fun and the horse does most of the work. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    USA Today newspaper has an article about CEOs being spanked as childen and in turn made them "better" for it. Do you spank your kids? Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

    "Be prepared to spend LOTS of money... like the other poster said... "and you thought SKYDIVING was expensive...." You're looking at: Monthly board fees and horse lease - you can easily pay $300/month board. Does the horse need dietary supplements? There's another couple hundred bucks a month. Tack - the sky's the limit....literally. I've seen $5k sets of tack... NOT show tack, either! Farrier - you're looking at trimming and shoe resets every 6 weeks or so... anywhere from $40-$75 or more. Vet - yearly shots and checkups, Coggins tests, etc... several hundred dollars a year assuming the horse is healthy. Chuck, hippie, others... did I miss anything?? " YEAH! TIME!!!!!!!! Your horse has to be top priority on the "To Do" List. Everyday, 7 days a week! Unless you have oodles of money and a cushy job, I really can't see how you can have both as a hobby.

    The price of a saddle depends on who made it, what type of leather it is made from, and how ornate it is, among other things. I used to teach riding and have ridden for a number of years. I would not buy a saddle via a catalog or online. It is a very personal choice and needs to fit just right. The better quality of a saddle can benefit the horse as much as you. Once you buy a saddle do not go cheap on a saddle blanket, those things can get pretty pricey too, but when it comes to saddles and blankets you get very much what you pay for, they take alot of abuse.

    See mine didn't have all that much garlic/butter. Not a huge fan of "things" floating in butter. I tasted more bacon/pepperoni.. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.
