Hay too good.

[had e nuff]

Made some top notch hay this year and the wife is soaking it in water for the horses. Apparently it is to lower the sugars. Can't win, may as well make rubbish next year.

 

[glasshouse]

I could do a swap with you?

 

[Dog Bowl]

According to my wife steaming hay is the way forward! These bloody horsey women!

 

[sam1]

Only heard of that in order to keep dust down

 

[Dry Rot]

Ah, but they'll need supplements too. The expensive ones out of the pretty bag are the best.

 

[had e nuff]

You mean like these, oh and not forgetting the pink powder.

Not riding them enough more like it.

To be fair the wife rides hers nearly every day and competes on a regular basis but they are native ponies and live on fresh air.

The horse or the wife?

The horses get ridden more than i do

Fools the lot of you . Always amazes me how anyone who is financially daft enought to be suckered in to marry a horsey women can able to run a business... apart from them being money pits you realise your Mrs would always save the horses before saving you. If either of my lads hook up with horsey women they will disinherited until they wise up!

Well said, I told my girlfriend, if she gets a horse for her kids she foots all the bills, nothing to do with me! As you say, they are a money pit!

I’d agree as to them being a money pit. However, Mrs NeilO informs me that it is still cheaper than a divorce.

Depends how far in you are. Mine was cheaper than staying with horsey woman. (I say "horsey" but was a lot more bovine than that)

If we were all so financially astute we wouldn't being farming as almost all of us have poor % returns per capita investment, im also an anti horse person, but there are those horsey women who are an absolute pain in the backside, but there are a few like my partner that help out during lambing and don't go off riding, whilst the horse is yarded up at polo yard funded by her hard work, maybe a rarity and lucky, but whilst business is profitable im embarrassed she wants to retire at 40 and join me, way better off staying where she is sadly

What absolute rubbish!

It's very easy to make a small fortune breeding horses!









All you need is a large fortune to start with!

 

[Pistonbroke]

My grandfather had two pieces of advice with horses even though he used them shepherding on the hill. Number 1. If you don't like your neighbor give him a horse,if you want to ruin him give him two. Number 2. If you want to end up with a million pounds breeding horses start with two million

Horses still play a big part in agriculture in many parts of the world. They have their uses.
