> You need a horse for entertainment.

OK. but do they come in pairs (to keep each other company)? and can i call it/them “race horses” (for tax reasons)?

My wife at 4 horses when we met. Then I bought her a farm. She stayed steady at 4 fir a couple of years. Then she bought a friesian stallion and 2 friesian mares. Then it was more mares. Custom bred our stud plus our own mares ...4,8,16,20,24,28...luckily I was able to get it stopped at 28!

Finally sold out and got down to 7, and now we’re back to 12 but we’re able to sell our fials more consistently.

Simple maintenance for 12 horses a day only takes about 2.5 hours a day. 28 takes about 7 hours, but your entire weekend is shot with the heavy maintenance.

They don’t usually come in pairs-—but they ARE herd animals & like company.

I have gone from 6 down to one-—OLD AGE-—and the survivor would love company....But on limited income, I cannot get stupid.
