Horse Talk

Uh oh....




I've wanted to take Ginger out on a walk for awhile... Maybe I could tag along with little sis next time she goes out with the dogs.

It's really funny because my barn is in a neighborhood but it's pretty hidden, so most people have no clue that there are horses around, so when you go walking around with one they pour outside to stare at you.

Took Stud for a walk today. I needed exercise and figured i might as well do some training while i was at it. Walked him around the block like a giant dog. Lol

LOL awesome!

That's hilarious omg.

Although tbh if I saw a horse walking around the block, I'd probably pour outside to look at it too lol

And probably ask to pet it

Hmm.. you know what I would really like to do some day?
Colt starting competitions

Next time she goes.
SAME!!!! Every time I see people riding their horses, I stop whatever I'm doing and stare. And I live in a neighborhood with 5 acre lots, most of which have horses on them!

SAME.
I wanna start mustangs for the BLM. They pay $1000 to teach a horse to walk on a lead, pick up lots feet, and load in a trailer. Maybe less, but that's the last a heard.

Awesome!

And LOL I would too. Plus horses are just so pretty you gotta stare.

We dont have horses in my neighborhood. :/

They are. I've never seen a horse that wasn't pretty - okay, not in person. Some of those mustangs they haul in from Canyon city are pretty scraggly lookin. :

Aww, that sucks. :/ Do you board then? Or are you the "weirdo" who has horses in your neighborhood?

Say what?? I didn't know they paid people at all, I thought they volunteered! I could never even try to do that though because I don't live close enough to any BLM place
I kind of wish I would have stuck with my plan of buying sale authority mustangs, training them, and then selling them. It would have been a win-win. 3 strike horses would get out of holding pens, and I might even make a little money, you know, as long as none of them got sick, hurt themselves, and they were easy keepers and I didn't get attached
But I think I'd really like colt starting competitions, they'd be really fun, and don't require a big commitment (like months of working with one horse) and I wouldn't be allowed to get attached. If only I knew where to start

We lease a place down the street from my parents house. The entire area used to be farmland, then they built the subdivision (my mom bought her house before it was built) and re-zoned, but there was a guy that had horses and wouldn't let them re-zone him so that patch of land was grandfathered in as agricultural even though it's surrounded on 3 sides by residential, some of it is pretty high class residential too (not the part I grew up in). But the driveway to the place is almost impossible to see until you have turned onto it, and then the horses are down a bank with a tree line between them and the road, so you can't see the horses, barn, or fields from the road.
So yeah, I'm the weirdo that has horses in a neighborhood AND boards... lol

BB2K and I often take the minis for walks in the neighborhood; it's a great way to expose them to all kinds of things that we don't have at home and work on the ol' barn sour/herd sour issue. Working up to the Christmas parades, we were taking them out at night, with lights on. At one point during the parade down at Carolina Beach, I heard a voice in the crowd say, "Look! It's Blondie!" When I located the voice, it turned out to be a couple of our neighbors that had met us out walking a few nights before.

Blondie, before the parade in Carolina Beach (I know, rotten picture)
