Congratulations - the Valentine's Day engagement, and now the land and horses. Er, house! Land and house!
I used to say I'd never marry anyone but a man with land and horses, but this cute electrical engineer raised on a farm taught me the virtue of waiting. Seven acres, no horses or goats yet, but one day! Maybe for our 50th wedding anniversary. Um, that's nearly 20 years off... but time flies when you're having fun (even without horses).
So, that gives me some time to learn how to ride. :) I once tried English posting, not my thing, and think Western is the way for me..
Good luck on your house building!
Thanks @carolkean! He actually waited to 4/16 to propose [my mistake on the post] because my DIL said V Day is too cliche 🤣. We actually are talking about building both house and barn and getting horses (or one). I've wanted one since my parents sold the ponies when I was little. I'm not sure if I want to clean the stalls at this age LOL but I sure would love to go riding!
I wouldn't mind cleaning stalls - it's the daily commitment, the being tied down, the "Who will watch the horses if we leave for a few days" thing. As it is, I hate leaving our dogs for a weekend. Horses! Find good neighbors or friends or hired hands. :)
