and from what I hear will keel over and die any chance they get.
I’m no expert though. but not being able to throw unwanted ingested items seems like a pretty big design flaw
Well my wife is the one who knows her way around a farm, she’ll be running it, and I’ll be doing random manual labor as required.
Its been ridiculous finding the right property though… What used to be $300-400k only 3 years ago is now selling for over a million. Its nuts. So most likely going empty land and building cheap to start…
I really don’t know where you are going with this. They don’t go out eating plastics and whatever either. They get sick because they’ve eaten something contaminated (what happens way more often on the wild) or because they failed to distinguish the food (what also happens way more often on the wild).
Just to point out, but we have a word for “silly horse doing silly things”, it’s “horse”.
All too true…
Just really big dogs who like to play

They are… oddly sensitive in some ways, and incredibly resilient in others.
kinda wish I had a horse. I hear they’re expensive to maintain though.
Can confirm.
Expensive every month, expensive to treat, expensive to shoe, expensive to house/feed/etc.
We are actually looking at property to do some farming, and a chunk of it will be for retired horses.
love the enthusiasm! wish I could afford a farm… and if I did have one I wouldn’t bet on it.

In a wild area untouched by humans, there is not much “unwanted” you could get from grazing.
There is lots and lots of “unwanted” food that will kill a horse in most natural habitats through the world.
Which they’ll instinctively not eat
