When I was around 20 years old I sold out. Truck, trailer, saddles, horses... everything. If I could get $5 for a set of spur straps I sold them. Bought a half ton truck, a 4wheeler, and had a lot of fun. Didn't have to worry about being home every morning and evening to feed. Could just throw my rigging bag (bull riding) in the bed of a truck or a friends car and strike out.

Has been very hard and expensive to get back where I was. 15 years and I still haven't found the right horse. Instead I have two pasture pets that I can't unload
