Well, there's a difference between a green horse that you don't know and one that you raised. Hopefully Bay's got at least 4 or 5 more good years in him and if you spent the time with the young horse that I think you would, he wouldn't be green at all by the time that Bay retired. I know what you mean about the space issue, but it's nothing that another lean-to on the barn and some more hay wouldn't solve. And now I won't nag you any more about it. ;o)
It's worth thinking about....
Heck, we thought we ~might~ breed Cyn some year when we were in our own place, so that ecurbh could see it all and we could raise one, but that will be some years off still.
