Congratulations(?) to your Daughter... and, perhaps, to you.
They can be a very rewarding 'money pit'.
I'd be interested in her agisting arrangements/outfitting/training etc...
I ask this because, if it wasn't for my 'late in life' discovery of horses, and riding, I wouldn't have looked for (and bought) my present 6 acre property. Which led to my buying my tractor... which led to my being here on TBN... talking to you.

What kind of horse? Where are you going to keep it? How much hay do you now produce ? What are you going to do with its waste? How many horses do you have room for? Do you have a long term care plan that includes your horse?

Hay burners as we refer to them, female version of owning a boat.

Exactly, a horse or horses are just like a boat. A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into whereas a horse or horses are holes in the barn or pasture you [our money into as well. We ought to know, my wife used to raise Percheron Draft horses and they are HUGE holes to pour money into. Now, I just grow and harvest alfalfa hay and sell it to horsey people and take their money and smile.
