I just envision OP at Tractor Supply trying to get electric fence and Ivermectin one weekend wondering what he used to do for fun before horses.
I'm not a dipshit, I understand that its a lot of work and am not waking up tomorrow and buying a horse
dont really see any problem with getting some input from someone who has experience in something I have interest in and always have
I actually welcome the negative comments, I understand it not all sunshine and roses and there are some shitty parts, probably a lot, but I want to get an understanding of what those are as well as the positives.
this is step 1 of at least a year long process of me maybe getting a horse, MAYBE after I get some experience riding, taking care of horses, seeing what all goes into it, i'll decide that i should get one, but this will definitely not be an impulse decision
luckily, my aunt owns a tack shop (dont even know if thats the right word) in sulphur so I should be able to get a few discounts when im stocking up on some supplies in the future!

You can get miniature horses for <$500 at the Lamar Dixon auctions. Goats can be had for like $20.
My advice, get a donkey. At least they can carry shite and you won't look weird riding it into the city

The comment about it being like a lot of hobbies I think is good.
Truth is I probably spend about as much in my hobbies as a lot of horse owners do (assuming they aren't going crazy).
