At first glance, I thought that subject line read, "Buy a horse now!" I thought, But where am I going to put it?

Heh. Our property here is zoned for horses. So far it looks like I'm getting lucky and we haven't ended up with a free rescue horse yet, but I'm not sure how long my explanation to SWMBO holds - the one that explains that the vet bills pretty much go up linearly by size between cats and horses.

Don't park your new horse near your corvette.

We have two that are boarded. Think a new set of race tires every other month in terms of cost .

They are lovely. Not a passion of mine however.

Everyone should have a horse! My fiance is a horse vet. I just watched a horse with a cut on it's eyelid get sutchered up last night.

I would board them, but I wouldn't own one. Horses don't know when it's Christmas morning.

Eat a horse, ride a cowboy? Wasn't that some crappy song a few years ago.

A horse is the most expensive useless creature in today's modern world.

In theory, you can ride a horse.

The similarities between horses used for competition and race cars is amazing.

We have two but my wife is looking to add a third now that her Appaloosa is getting older and his competition years are behind him.

Horses make cheap Porsches seem cheap.

I prefer my hobby/lifestyle (cars) to the Girlfriend's hobby/lifestyle (horses) because when a car breaks a leg, I don't have to shoot it.

When comparing notes with coworkers who have kids, I have discovered horses are cheaper than children.

Quoth the owners the huge berkleying yacht at the Lake of the Ozarks, "Horses? Oh, they're expensive..."

My girlfriend grew up with them and I'm soooo grateful she hasn't expressed interest in them in adulthood. The last thing we need is another expensive hobby. I'll keep trying to steer her toward motorcycles in the hopes that will distract her.

Personally, I prefer machines that do what you tell them, not making a request with a 2000# beast with a brain that may just decide one day he doesn't like you anymore and he's done dealing with your E36 M3.
