How very, very true!

Depends if youve just forked out 15-20k for a retired race horse :wink:  (not me, twas my old neighbours).

V8MoneyPit:
Oh yes, how I know that feeling too  :roll: Just passed the £20k mark putting up a stable block. The dog meat.... err, sorry, horses live better than we do  :lol:

I shouldn't complain really. The 10 acres cost £27k because it was in poor condition. After some work and about £2k of fencing and the stable block its been unofficially valued at between £150k and £185k  :shock:  :D

And let's face it, you could apply the same slogan to Land Rover ownership  :lol:

The Ant Hill Mob:
Horses don't eat hay, they eat cheque books.  Buying a horse isn't that difficult or expensive - keeping it's the expensive bit.

Give me something mechanical without a mind (and sense of humour) of it's own any time.

Still got an extra bum from when I fell off. :oops:

narked:
Know about this one all too well. Luckily I'm not the one footing the bill! I live with my gf and her parent's, and they've got 2 horses. Her dad's is costing a fortune year-round at the moment due to the fact she's still recovering from a nasty injury last year. One of those where the vet ends up called out at midnight, and when he sees it says "Before I suggest a suitable treatment, you need to decide how much this horse is worth to you...".

Me and the "mother in law" are of the opinion that they're both a waste of time and money, and so are the horses ;) The gf also for some reason doesn't like my pet-name for her horse. I can't see what' so bad about "Pedigree Chum".
