Yeah, I don"t understand the high class horse people either.
Always a new, big trailer, high end, under used horses. The whole bit.
I sell a fair amount of hay and they are the ones that will bounce a check. lol
Most around here are like us, and enjoy them. We have 5, and all of them can be saddled up and rode. No pasture statues allowed. I"m not into breeding or shows. From time to time we do some team sorting or penning for fun.
I have three kids, they all have their own horse that they are responsible for, and they do good with them. I feel it teaches them some good responsiblity.
I like coming home from work and looking across the field at two of them out riding and one in the yard unsaddling and brushing a horse out, checking hooves, or whatever. It makes me smile. Beats having them in the house playing video games. Also we ride a fair amount as a family, best way I"ve found to have teenage kids open up and talk, is on the back of a horse.
I guess horses tie in well with us, are they neccissary? No, but really only air, water, and alittle food is.
Economy wise, the horse industry holds its own. It"s been around a long time. The problem isnt the horses. Its some of the people. Horses didnt cripple the kill market in the US, activists did.
There were some folks around here that made a decent living buying and selling kill horses. It might be a touchy topic, but reality is, it kept things in check.
There are those that can still make some money on horses, but it takes time and know how. The people that raise them, put in time with them, train them can still come out. Fact is doing that is alot of work. Most, myself included, dont want to put that much time into them. So, I just call it a hobby.
