So any of you wise investors own or know about horses?
I know "nussink" about owning or buying a horse.
I have just moved to a small acreage which is one part of a lifelong dream in itself, the other part being that when I do move to acreage, I could get a horse.
I didn't plan on getting one for a few more months yet but have been offered one today. It is a 3yo trotter who isn't that great as a trotter, but (apparently) has such a nice nature, the owner would like to find a home for it rather than send it to the pet food place.
I know nothing yet about the horse being offered, don't know if it is broken in, don't know its history etc. I have the contact details for the owner but before I ring him, I need to educate myself on what exactly I need to know?
If anyone can help me with any advice, questions I should ask, tell me to run a mile or all of the above I would be ever so grateful.
Thanks!
