[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you rich?

Owning a horse is like having a kid in college if you don't have your own property with a place to board them.

My SIL had a dressage horse with bad feet.  Medical therapies cost a fortune.

Are you aware you can rent horses?  That might be a way to go at first.  Horses worth showing are more expensive than ordinary horses.[/quote]

Yes, you can lease a horse, and even acquire a partial lease for the right to ride a horse for a set number of hours per month. This is probably the most practical option for folks who don't know how to care for a horse. They're delicate animals, despite their size.

We boarded our horses for a variety of reasons. We were lucky to have a wonderful, wonderful person who loved and cared for them like they were children. They have both passed away, the second one this past summer.

We no longer have boarding fees. Instead of driving porsches, we drove practical vehicles. Our kid the rider never even rode them anymore, but we have a policy of not turning our backs on our four legged family members, so that was that. I'm very sad about the death of our last horse, as he was not terribly old (mid twenties). The sadness is somewhat assuaged by not having the boarding fees any longer. [/quote]
