Yes, having my horses at home is a 365 day job every year. That’s ok. They’re worth it. I used to board my one horse with someone. Then we bought 5 acres and built a house & barn. More horses trickled in & then we had 4, along with 10 cats & around 6 dogs.. We bought 16 acres and built a house & barn. More trickled in & then we had 6 horses, along with 17 cats & 9 dogs. All were vaccinated & spayed/neutered. I quit taking in so many “free” animals. Now we’re old and down to 3 horses, 4 cats & 5 dogs. I’m looking forward to being down to no cats, 2 dogs & around 1 or 2 horses. They do keep me going, having to go feed twice a day & do barn chores.
