- On a scale of 1(one being easy) to 10(ten being very difficult) How would you rate caring for your own horse?
I'd say about a 6. There's some heavy lifting, and life is always harder in the winter, but I personally enjoy the work.
- Which one do you enjoy more-Owning on your own property,boarding, or leasing?
I love having my guy at home! No "commute", I always know what's going on with my horse, and no drama!
- Could you not live without your horse?
Survive, yes. Thrive, no.
- Is your horse your BFF? lol
Yeppers!
- Does the time of owning and caring for a horse pull you away from awesome opportunities?
Not too much. Since I do have him at home rather than boarded, I am a bit tied down as far as traveling, but I've never really minded. Plus my awesome family really steps up to the plate if I need them to take care of things for a couple of days.
- Do you ever regret purchasing your horse?
Two words: NEV - ER.
- Are they worth everything you have given up?
Absolutely.
- Does owning a horse pile on more stress? Or is it the thing that takes stress away and helps you get through the day?
I do worry about my horse when I'm away (I'm a student, and away from home except for weekends for the school year), and that can be a little stressful at times not being right there to take care of him, but when I do get home and get to mess with Scout, it is a tremendous stress reliever.
