[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, should have been more clear. Not looking for a working farm with tractors and crops. Looking for a house with pens for a couple of horses. Grew up on a farm in Michigan so save your lecturing that PP's were doing. Appreciate the feedback though outside the snark![/quote]

You’re misunderstanding. The experienced horse people are coming on here to say that you need that equipment to tend to your horses and “pens.” (We call them fields or paddocks, depending on size. There’s no need, in this area, for horses without health issues to be regularly kept in a dry lot or small sacrifice area.)

You’ll need the tractor with several attachments to turn the muck pile, bring another round bale out to the field, pull the manure spreader/mower/seed spreader/bush hogger, transport hay bales to your storage area, move dead tree branches off your broken fence, drag your arena, etc.

Agree with others that you may want to start with moving to an area where you can have easy access to an affordable boarding barn. And then eventually work up to keeping your horses at home, if you still want to. You’re not “wasting” money on board. You’re paying for the convenience of not having to do a bedtime check when it’s 15 degrees and sleeting, being able to go away for the weekend on a whim, having others (human and equine) to provide socialization, and more.
