I agist and thats $30/month per animal. Which is very cheap.
Because they are on 80acres and have NO competition we rarely have to supplimentary feed them. Have to take a 'love' feed out to them though, or they'd never speak to us again I get a bale of lucine and chaff it myself (I stick it through a mulcher I got really cheap and put it in a bin)I mix it with a bit of molassis or apple cider & garlic vinegar (I make my own)and they love it.
Shorty only rides in the paddock so I dont have ours shod. They've both got very good feet so our farrier comes out about 4 times a year and gives em a trim.
Because Sparky is little, I can get the two of them wormed from one tube of paste!!!
$60/month agistment $20/month feed $25/quarter for farrier $16/quarter for worming (quote)
It can be very expensive shell, but extremely rewarding shell.
We stand our boy, but all foals we breed, if we dont keep, only get sold to friends where we can go + visit them.
Martia, too many people in it strictly for the money, who dont know what they're doing.
Breeding inferior stock.
Frustrates the hell out of me.
I'm actually on the lookout for either a sir tristram or clos up northern dancer line mare at the mo. That northern dancer/sir ivor x works gold for middle distance/staying horses
I'd say in general it was welcoming, then again, I knew quite a few from the intl. forums, so in a sense, I felt welcomed before hand from my previous encounters with some.
On that note, I think Aussies are just like everyone else in the world, in that, people tend to move towards those that are more like themselves.
Like the rest of the different forums, there are the nice, the nasty , the hypocritical , the welcoming & those that just like to keep the peace regardless. This is found in every group of people, it's just human nature and I myself have probably been guilty of all of the above as well.
But in general, I've felt welcomed, but again, that being said, I knew a few of you previously from the intl. forums so it really wasn't hard for me to find someone to talk with.(quote)
I would like to see more women from the inters down this way.
