Man that sucks, sounded like you had a pretty good deal there, not far from home etc.
We have a large horse farm in town here, been around a long time, best rolling hills and views, some of it ended up developed, most is intact, still horses there, different owner.
Our place has about 25 horses at the moment, its different than dairy or doing crops but I tell you what, its still ton of hard work, and I am glad to be away from those crazy thoroughbreds myself, they just wear you out, and there's always a prime opportunity to get seriously hurt at any time. I opted out of it due to my leg and dealing with 1500 lb monsters, shoulder can't take the abuse, and that wears on your patience, short fuse and horses do not mix, course you work with em enough, you always have your favorites, and though they are a pain and all the above you still hate to leave em, had 2 that were actually fun to work with, one a stallion, a real gent too, never saw anything like him, and a gelding that really wanted to please you when working.
So maybe its a blessing, hopefully you'll find suitable replacement work you like, I am in the same boat now, have to go back to construction or some darned thing to pay the bills, as the demanding physical work takes a lot out of ya.
