The average horse will eat a 60 lb. bale every three days. Every one grains differently. Bu I have learned that the way to put a million dollars in the bank in the horse business is to start with three million. I also have found out there is no such thing as a free horse. Vet bill minimum of $150 plus $75 for the farm call. Farrier, minimum $45 every 6-8 weeks for a trim. If you shoe then $75. Worming every 2 months Ivermectin $5, Equmax $10, Pyrentel $5. The you have the incidentals like 1 pint Coppertox. $18 Show Sheen $13, and you figure if your going to keep them in top shape your going to spend about 3 hours a day with each horse in the exercise pen and arena, and turn out in the pasture and putting them back in, feeding and cleaning stalls. A couple of hours a month maintaining and repairing tack and harness ( have a 18.5 hand Percheron Thoroughbred horse that I drive. And That's just the regular everyday stuff. Forget about emergency calls and transportation, and they haven't even payed the rent for the space yet. $175 minimum in this area. So would someone please show me a free horse. I said that once and they said it would be a dead one. Then i reminded them that the used livestock dealer charged $125 to haul it off. Nope, still haven't ever seen a free horse. I love them and consider mine my best friends ( next to my wife ) She made me say that. lol. So yes I have taken in some homeless horses over the years and if I could AFFORD it there wouldn't be a neglected, abused or homeless domestic horse out there, but I can't take them all in and if I did I wouldn't have the time to care for them as they deserve. But never have I considered a homeless horse free. That,s like saying "HAY my wife just brought home a free kid" Ain't no such thing. LarryT
