I've only got one horse.
But totally agree with you Shawn, "Poverty is owning a horse".
I've managed to keep a bit of condition on the old boy during this drought by leading him out for green picks on the side of the road.
Not allowed anymore.
Equine Flu
It's the performance and race horses that cop it worst. The excessive coughing caused by the flu, can scar the lungs, ruining the wind and therefore finishing the careers of these very expensive beasties.
If you have a mare at least you can breed from her afterwards, but if you have spent years training an elite Eventer or Polocrosse horse that is a gelding, well........
