Horse

I want a clidedale because I think they are so pretty and they look easy to handle.

I have two black Arabians, one chestnut (copper color), and a blond Appaloosa. I love the time I get to spend with them...which is often since they live here on our farm. Horse ownership can be expensive, but I've found that by learning to do certain things myself, like trimming their feet and giving their shots, I can cut out a huge portion of the upkeep. In the winter, when I have to buy feed and hay, I spend about $100 a month on my horses. In the Spring, Summer and Fall when the grass is in, I don't have to spend anything, unless I choose to fertilize and seed the pastures. (Which after last year's drought I'll have to do this Spring.) For those of you who would like to enjoy horseback riding, but don't want to own (I mean, not everyone can have the land to keep their horses on and boarding isn't cheap.), find out if there are lesson barns in your area. You may be surprised to find there's one close by. Many lesson barns will teach you to ride and help you learn about the care of the horses. Often times, the lessons aren't very expensive, maybe $20 a lesson or so, depending on your area. You could also look to see if there are any trail rides you could go on for that one time, "I want to ride a horse" adventure.

Hello Zabmer, You know what, I have been wishing to learn how to ride a horse. In my grandpa's farm, they only have carabao, I have ride once and almost fell on the ground. I do want to learn to ride a horse someday, but owning one, I don't have plans for that. Horses are expensive.
