Jax, Chenders, I figured that!&nbsp; Just the other day I was telling my friend that I have already made plans for my next life:#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Not getting married and (as much as I love my little beasties to death)
I'm NOT having kids. Ok, I will make an exception, maybe, for a
millionaire who is as crazy about horses as I am and doesn't want kids!#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#MDFA, he is about 8 months now, so it will be a while before we get to any shows....wouldn't it be funny to take him to a CSH inspection tho? I think it would be funny to see what ppl thought, even if he was just along for the ride. The photo was from when he was about 2 or 3 months old, he's really really hairy now and kind of odd looking. I'll get some better pics in the spring when he sheds out. But, he's still as nice a mover! I will for sure let everyone know if I take him to a show....lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Sometimes it isn't the cost/price of the horse so much as it is the upkeep.&nbsp; Example one horse we have is a free lease/sort of forever.&nbsp; We treat him like he is our own.&nbsp; Maybe you could find an arrangement that works where you exercise the horse while the owner is at school or too busy with work as a FAVOUR rather than a paying lease.&nbsp; Keep your eyes peeled.&nbsp; #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You find a way to afford it.&nbsp; We often give up other things to be able to enjoy the hobby.&nbsp; I don't take lessons for over 10 years now--NOT because I think I am good enough...LOL! Quite frankly the well has run dry and I have to enjoy it now on a lesser scale and make due with maintaining myself and ride more for fun.&nbsp; My daughter is in 3 year university...Wait till your kids hit that age, they both just finished with braces...both our vehicles are real old, and we have not had a vacation in over 10 years.&nbsp; Living on our farm is our vacation.&nbsp; When you have animals it makes it hard to getaway.&nbsp; I am usually the one left behind while our neighbours go away and I farm/horse sit.&nbsp; They can afford to pay me...I can even afford the vacation let along pay someone to farm sit our menagerie.&nbsp; #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Okay, now that I know how to do this ( thanks Patricia!) here is a pic of my other guy. He is in training to be a jumper, but if he doesnt sell soon, he will also be cross training in dressage, and maybe even shown in both this summer. Time will tell....

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Nice pic of your horse counter-canter.&nbsp; Something she neglected to tell you all.&nbsp; I just love the grey horses name....He shows under 'Go For Donut'....Sounds like he is an ex-racer.&nbsp; Nice to see another TB in the dressage ranks!&nbsp; #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
