how many people would love to have 10 horses in their back yard?

Question

i have always wanted to wake up one morning and find at least 10 horses grazing in my back yard... i have no idea why though..

Answer 1

I ~do~ have ten horses in my backyard, and let me tell you honey, I hope you have a thick wallet and a big bank account, plus lots of help.



Ten horses is 3-4 hours minimum of work, and that is the grungy daily stuff, not riding or showing or any of the fun stuff.

Answer 2

My parents had a Quarter Horse breeding farm when I was growing up we had any where from 55 to 75 horses in our backyard. The best was when you woke up early, teh sun was just coming up, there is that light morning mist and the mares and foals were all out grazing. I loved that time of year when the foals were born, ie was the greatest thing.

Answer 3

NOT ME!!!



Let's see -- 10 horses at 2 acres per horse (MINIMUM pasture needed) that's 20 acres -- a BIG yard. Plus fencing, a barn, storage for hay and bedding, tools and equipment for maintaining the pasture, barn and fencing. And then you need to take CARE of 10 horses, including shoveling out the stalls. And grooming. I won't even go into the EXPENSE!!



You'd be sooooo busy that you'd never have TIME to ride. And if you did have time, you'd be too exhausted.



No thanks. Although I love horses as much as anyone, two is PLENTY for me -- and even then, I prefer to BOARD them, so someone else can do the work!

Answer 4

I do have 10+ in my backyard and it is wonderful to have them there but boy the work it produces. Be careful of what you wish for because it isn't always as great as it seems. It takes a while to feed, brush and care for 10 horses and it has to be done everyday~ blazing hot, freezing cold, pouring rain, blizzard, hurricane and even when you're sick. It's a big commitment to own a horse and with 10 it's tenfold!

Answer 5

Answer 11

How funny... I actually do! Five appaloosas (Snickers, Twix, Jessi, Cannie and Sari), one Welsh Pony (Darling), two arabians (Smith and Karman) and two Clydesdales (Yankee and Andy)! It's wonderful!!!!!!!!! They're all soo cute, but my favorite has to be Snickers and Yankee. Snickers is an infant, and Yankee is only 1! (a young, yet strong, colt) Good luck with your dream!!

Answer 12

I would love that, theres just something relaxin about watching them and something that makes the world seem right when horses are around.
