Gosh thanks for saying that Kim! Amazing horses are going here for 300 bucks! They start out trying to sell a horse worth every bit of 3500 by two years ago market prices for 2000, then get down to 1000, then get desperate and are lucky not to have to give them away! A person I know argued with me last week when I told him our hay man said hay could go up from its present 45 a round roll delivered price to over 80. He said, nah, they said last year it would go up and there would be shortages, and there's not. And I said yeah, but my hay man said he has to buy deisel to run his equipment he has to use to plant it, fertilize it , cut it and bale it! Fertilizer is going up off the charts, so is grass seed, and so is anything that has to be delivered! Things are getting scarey. This morning on th e news they said by 2009 gas could be 8-10 a gallon. And Mic, she always says its already 8 bucks a gal in the UK, but on the news they pointed that out, that it is way high in the UK and has been, but the man said "yes but in the UK it's a whole different deal than in the US. In the UK they do not have the rediential and urban sprawl like we have here, where a common commute for many americans is an hour each way, and they have not spent the last decade getting more and more reliant on big gas hog cars like we have (and now many cant get out from under without taking a huge financial loss), and some other reasons too, i forgot what all he said. anyway. Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
