I live in Hillsdale to go to school. My horses are at my mom’s in Lucedale. But thanks for remembering where I live! (this is creepy!)

I have three horses, and they’re pretty expensive. It costs about $50 a month to feed them (just grain, not hay or pasture), $75 to trim their hooves every 5 weeks (it would be TWICE that if they wore shoes). A farm call for the vet is about $30--then you pay for tube worming, routine shots, and having their teeth filed every year. That runs a couple of hundred for all three. Then you must give them a paste wormer every month, about $5 each horse. Then don’t forget if they get sick, especially in the middle of the night or on a Sunday--that can end up being a couple of hundred for ONE horse. Then you have to make sure you maintain your property so they don’t break a leg in a hole, and that your fences are in good repair all the time, because if they get out they could run infront of a car, then the horse owner is not only minus a beloved friend, they are responsible for any damages the loose horse causes…

I just hope he takes good care of them. Monthly worming, routine vet visits and shoeing tend to be WAY more pricey than a tune-up on your John Deere.
