Let me add though that as a business, I think horses can't be beat! My youngest Brother's wife is really into them, and she's got a few on the farm. It seems to me that he should stop growing things, build an arena and stables on the ground instead. A really excellent business, and his wife would be happy as all get out!
Stop the farming, send off the horse to another arena, then get into a REAL business.
Get some shovels and draglines and start a gravel pit. Cash cow that lasts for decades, then when it plays out, sell the edges of the pit as lakefront property. You'll be rolling in more dough than Scrooge McDuck!
No can do man. The farm is peat ground. Good for growing stuff, no gravel.
That said, when I was a kid, we did have 120 acres or so up in Cathcart, and that included a little gravel pit. Pea gravel, not crushed. That ran out when I was still quite young.
I don't entirely disagree. I grew up with horses and I've done plenty of riding. But I never enjoyed it much. It just isn't my thing. And yeah, I have a hard time understanding the extreme attraction that some people have for it. It just seems like a really overly expensive hobby to me.
That said, one can't argue with the outfit! Tight jeans, boots, chaps! Come on man! 😎🤠
Don't even get me started about horse women... 🤬

I have an even better idea.

"It just seems like a really overly expensive hobby to me."
You are 100% correct.

From a distance, Cameron. A LONG distance.
Well, there's distance and then there's distance.
Yup. That will do it every time.
Scientifically proven I think! 😎
I heard it was guys in Philadelphia (City of "brotherly" love), who started to dispell heterosexuality? Hmmm....
They cracked our Liberty Bell too! 😂
