Yeah, I drew pictures of horses as a little girl, but that happened at a formative age (about 8 years old), and after that incident I just lost any interest in pursuing it as a hobby or activity. I should add that when I was older (middle school), I was with a friend when she was grooming her horse in the stall, and got my foot stepped on and nearly got it broken. So... I've tried to keep it from being an unreasonable phobia, but haven't really had good experiences with large animals like that and don't like being near them. Probably wouldn't enjoy having cows or pigs...

GOATS, on the other hand...

(It always comes back to the goats, doesn't it?!)

You are in the stage of no return..... UGHHHH I so wish I had a place to let them roam, I'd have some by now if not for the awkward configuration of my yard!

I actually have some work to do to figure out my own yard/property for them. But I've been wandering around after reading a bit, and am realizing that I've got pretty good quality forage here for them to enjoy (though I would feed in addition to that, of course). I need to get the number of chicken "families" down and consolidate, to make space for them. I'm fortunate that most of the kids are sold for the year at the breeder I'd like to use, so at the soonest, I would get them next year around April or so. If I'm really good, I'll wait. We'll see if I can stand it.

I keep telling myself the longer I wait, the more I'll learn and the more prepared I'll be. I decided to get chickens about 3 or 4 years before I actually did.

Quote: Don't need to be. I'm not, either, but it's really simple. Just grab the mane at the withers & bump the fetlock with the toe of your boot 'til the horse moves the foot forward a little. You may have to do the same with the off foot, but sometimes they'll move it on their own. Keep doing that 'til the horse is parked out enough for you to mount comfortably. Just don't overdo it; it'll put undue strain on the horse's insides.
