Yeah. Those are my concerns too. Right now I've got it cush. I'm not growing like I want in my sport but I know if I'm dragging someone is going to feed and watch them for me. It's just a piece of undeveloped, plain jane property. All the land is that way around here. I could go 4 or 5 hours up for a lot better and cheaper, but would I? This is close and workable. I should have bought it 2 years ago when prices were lower. I didn't though so....What I need is to lease or have a 6 month payment delay with a good down payment. I can't afford stables and notes. That would give me time to get it horse ready (fence, water, shelter etc) That's workable.
Unsupervised is the problem. I would pitch a tent but my husband happy here so unless I leave him over horses (which is another option:') I won't be moving there. I thought about maybe renting a space for an adult in a mobile home, just to watch but not take care of them. I don't know. I haven't figured that out yet. Last night I was thinking of all kinds of wicked things to keep people away but I don't know about legality.

I see... Well getting it fenced will be a major undertaking as it is, then. You can go a long way toward both safety and security by the way you fence it and the kind of shelter you build. Small mesh fencing is expensive, but more critter and climber proof and it's safer than barbed wire. Lots of design considerations can make it as good as it can be.

Would this arrangement be temporary, or do you think down the road husband will want to move there?
