You poor thing.....no horse?

I hereby offer you virtual horse ownership. Free of charge. Just tell me what you want....Quarter horse, Arabian or half Arabian. Welsh pony? Gelding or mare? (I have mostly mares) Yearling, two year old, older??? I have bays and grays. (One sorrel, but she's for sale, I'd hate to give you a horse and then sell it.) You pick one and I'll post the pics and training updates for you.

I can't stand to see a horse lover without a horse, it just shouldn't happen.

You are so kind:)!
I broke Thoroughbreds as a teen. My dream was to own a very large (like 17.3h or bigger) warmblood/Thoroughbred cross. Bay is nice but liver chestnut will always be my favorite. Got any of those?
Just curious, do you grow your own hay or if not, how much are you paying for a square bale out there. In Minnesota it is outrageous, 10 dollars a bale, and horses are being abandoned.

WOW, you dream BIG. I am thinking my girls 15.3hh quarter horse is BIG. Hay here in Michigan is about $5 a square bale. We are praying for a good hay season this year.

We grow our own hay. When our horses need it, dh hauls it in seven or so big round bales at a time. We have prairie hay, alfalfa, native, clover and then some "junk" that we bale in case of emergency!

Let's see, I have two bay Quarter horses, neither of which are going to be anywhere near that big. One is a bay filly, three yrs old, and a bay gelding, two years old. My Arabian mare is a bay, and she's eight (?).

Our biggest horse would be our Jackie Bee mare, she's so gray she's almost white.
