Anybody that's ever owned a horse knows that they are expensive and time consuming to care for. When grazing isn't available they must be fed and fed properly to prevent foundering.
There's a really good and entertaining documentary on Netflix called "Unbroken". Four young A&M graduates tame Mustangs and ride them from Mexico to Canada. Lots of info on wild mustangs and the BLM. I can almost guarantee you'll like it a lot.
I grew up with a couple of horses! Quite familiar with the work involved! I was in 4H in the 70s with my horses. There was a lady that was a local hero to us and we loved to have her come to our shows.
I wonder if they mentioned her in that Netflix show "Unbroken"? I'll have to check that out! Thanks!
