Saw this on Craig's list, and I know a few of you have horse property.  Figured what the hell...  I'd throw it out here

I wish i had horse property.   And the money for the upkeep of the horse.  our little girl would love it.

Me too bro.  God, how I ever miss riding!  But the upkeep is damn expensive

It is, it is.

Horses were a great way to score a date back in the day

How do they taste?

Kinda like chicken if you boil em, more like seal if you BBQ em  

Was watching Iron Chef a few weeks back and one of the chef's took out this long strand of what looked like fat. They said it's the fat that is down the mane area of a horse... I guess it's used widely in Japan. But this horse is 28. Everyone knows 28 year olds are no longer edible!

HOw much land does an old horse need? I have an acre in the desert. (Not fenced, just wondering if it would be possible in the future?)

An acre is plenty, to the best of my knowledge.  Horses are meant to roam, but everyone I know compares their needs to that of a dog, just bigger.  

At 28, though, this horse isn't going too far too fast.

If someone would give me a place to keep him, I'd take him no problem.  At 28 he can't even sire, but he'd be a loyal friend like all horses are.  I'd keep him just to make certain he was comfortable in his little time left - and that time is EXACTLY why he wouldn't be a good kid's horse, riding horse, or "family pet."  Horses that age require a great deal of grooming and care, and that is ALOT of effort and money.

But a good horse is a great companion, and I'd give my left nut to have one if I could afford it

Do you have any recipes that you could let me have? I'm looking for a new way to cook my goats and horses.

Look for a Kazak cookbook.  They are some horse eatin' fools.
