Okay, so wanted to update this, i slowed things down a bit and made some different decisions. I bought a camper (I'm gonna reno it a little, paint and new cushions), I also got a milk cow, although she's a baby so it'll be a while on the milk, got a few more chickens, and planted a nice big...
Well.. That was a short lived search. There's one trail riding place near me, and they have one horse for sale.. For $9,500 A little out of my price range
Casually looking for a horse. I've not 100% decided on this, but I'm considering it if I find the right one. I'm looking for an older horse, around 20 (will consider a little older), definitely not younger than 15, mare or gelding. Do not care about breed, height (as long as it's above 14...
I think I'm headed in the right direction then! I'm doing a barn style roof, and my dad and his Amish friend are building if for me, they said they were gonna insulate it real good for me and I could probably heat it with one space heater. And believe me, I've already got chickens!
Oh yeah, heifers are pretty much just kept back here. When they do sell them though they tend to pull em off the momma after a couple days. But most everyone keeps them back. That's why it's so hard to find one. If I was looking for a bull calf I could have 50 by now. But believe me, I've...
I've put an ISO ad on craigslist and I check craigslist every day, and only one of the farmers I have talked to has been friendly about it. Apparently jersey heifers are hard to come by!
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some riding lessons for myself! I'm trying to find someone near Monett, MO.
Horses don't make me nervous when I'm doing groundwork, but when it comes to riding I have some pretty serious confidence issues, so I would like to find someone who is NOT the old...
No such luck with craigslist. And I've stopped by a few local farms and they're either only selling bull calves, or their calves are registered which is way out of my budget
I think I'm going to hold off on the cattle.. At least for now. I'm still young and I'm very indecisive, so I don't want to buy a whole bunch and then change my mind. On the other hand, I was considering breeding dogs, and I know some people frown upon this, I personally even think it's wrong if...
Well my parents are moving to a small farm, and there's a half acre lot sectioned off (but it's out in the country and very secluded) that they have said they'll give to me, which is very generous of them, and I've decided to build a tiny house (12x28) and try to get it done for less than...
I'm looking for a kitten near Springfield, MO. My friends cat died on New Years and she has been looking for a new one, her birthday is next week and I would love to find her one! She's wanting one that looks similar to her last cat, he was long haired and lynx point with blue eyes.
Now I want to know why her name was Sally...
And thanks for the advice! Definitely planning on looking at them more than once and having them ride first, as well as a second opinion. As for the vet check I have never done that before but I'll look into it
I've had multiple horses before, the mare would be more for myself and the gelding more for my grandpa, sister, friends, etc. although I would ride him sometimes too if he wasn't getting enough time with everyone else. But I do understand your point on buddy sour, back when I had 3 horses, we...
Ah yes. Well I've been working with my gelding more, and I've had several other people out to ride him as well. And apparently I'm just the problem. A girl I went to school with was on him last week and she was going on about how great he is and how well trained and how his lope is just like a...
