For years I never had a single problem with any of my horses health-wise. But its like monopoly. Sometimes you get a go to jail card. This year one little horse cost me about 20,000 bucks. Amazing. Then someone gave me an ancient old stallion with rotten teeth and feet and he is like a big hole in the pasture to pour money into. I spend a lot of money on silly things for my horses too! Saddles I think will be good, thats not silly, but stuff like bridles with torquoise or sparkley stuff or HARNESS PLUMES.
I dont have teenage children and when I see how much they cost others I realize my horses are my teenage chidren :) When I got the old stallion a friend said "watch out you dont end up with too many" and I said "when the day comes I can't get all their feet done or buy all their shots and wormer I will have to start looking for some to go to good homes..." and I mean that.
