I used to do volunteer work at a horse farm, so I know how much hard work they are. You don't get any breaks really, horses are a ton of work to take care of, every day for the majority of the day. It's easier to own one instead of multiple horses though I'm sure. They're cool and fun creatures, great to ride and just be with, but I know I wouldn't be able to keep up with all that work with school and having a job (unless I did what the farm that I worked on did...got kids who are enthusiastic about animals to do the work for me, telling them it's volunteer work so I don't have to pay them, and telling them it's an excellent opportunity to learn all about how working on a farm is. Pretty sure the owners were exploiting us...but it was still fun, I don't regret it at all, and I learned quite a bit.)
