I owned two horses when I was in my late teens and early twenties. One was an older horse named Lady, and the other was named Heinken, after the beer. I was only able to afford having a horse because I lived and worked on my uncle's farm. He grew all his own feed, the oats and hay, plus he mixed his feed as well. So I paided him for boarding my horse with money and mostly farm labor. As much as I love horses they are expensive to own and the work and care, involved with the proper care and handling would take strength I do not have anymore. Sure I would love owning another one if I had a farm to keep it on and someone else paided the bills. lol
