I think I'm going to buy a horse.
 

But I have never done anything like this before.
I know you need 5% down, but what are the steps involved. Are there any really good online resources?

I'd go to the bank but they waste my time... because I'm too newb to know what they are talking about.

Any help is mucho appreciated..
Thanks

Make sure you have room for that pony.

Damn that pic is aweful =(

think smokey got you.. he got me..

pic of horses being processed into horse meat

never had it. is it good?

never had it either, it's certainly not on my list of meats to try.

Pony??? You need a massive horse. And it needs caring, lots of it, exercise every day, proper nutrition.. do you have time for one?

Inquiring minds.. can be strange. Their meat is too sweet for our taste, I was told by an old man who had some during WW2.

i wonder if on the godfather after he put the horses head in the guys bed if they ate the horse

You should buy a helicopter...

:helpme

OMG :feels-hot :repuke

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It can be a good investment, but if you dont know anything...

Really could have done without seeing that today, or ever for that matter

Get a mule.
Horses suck, they're too highly strung, prone to mishaps, and unpredictable.

Holy crap... :(

Get a friend that knows a lot about horses and ask him for help. It's really easy to get fucked. My father owns 12 horses and I know it's not that easy to find a good horse for a reasonable price.

Basically people only sell horses that are not so good and they have no use for them, because everyone wants to keep the good ones.

That's gotta hurt :(

FUCK THAT BUY YOUR SELF A CADDY NIGGA...

Aaron, talk to Shannon (makemegrrrrowl on GFY). She has several of them and knows all about them.

thats sick nofx

how much is a solid horse anyway? I am not talking about some ridiculous champion...

Here most people wont sell you a horse unless you pay for all of it. Keep in mind that you need to pay for boarding, food, shots, horseshoeing etc.

My advice would be do what we did, and visit some boarding stables in your area. See what they charge, look around and pick their brain. See what you can get for your money, how nice the people are. Here the stable we are looking at everyone goes in and buys the meds online and we split the costs, saves everyone a lot of money. Also don't forget about things like mortality insurance to cover the cost, and saddles, pads etc. A good saddle alone is around $700-1200.

Depends on the breed. Much like cars, you have your Ford Escort and your Ferarri.... Huge range of prices. They are a LOT of work, but great to have.... I had a few when I was growing up.

Horse tasted good!

That is an aweful pic.

Anywhere from $2000-$100,000 dollars.. and the champions generally go for $500,000+ depending on breed, bloodlines, use etc.

5% down makes me think Aaron had a typo. :winkwink:

OK, if it IS a horse, then talk to people in your area. Spend at least 6 months getting to know who is good and who is bad. Wig with WTS has horses and mules he and his wife buy, sell, show all the time.

Now, if you're really talking about a HOUSE, then don't put 5% down, put down 20% so you don't have to pay PMI and getting a good mortgage company and realtor are the 90% of the solution, IMHO. :thumbsup

I hear Aaron bought horses-on-blondes.com... sick fuck.

It's called Alpo. They use horses for dog food and glue actually. My Mother had one when I was groing up.

Aaron, not too sure on what they paid for it as I was young, but I know you should just look around for a stable near you and talk to them. My parents kept there's at one and just paid a fee every month for the poeple there to take care of it.

Aaron, dont do something stupid.









just send me the money instead..... you can have my sig...:1orglaugh

Actually horsemeat has been on the menu in europe for a very very long time, and oftentimes it's used as a cheap substitute for beef. It's not just for dogs or glue. Personally being an avid horseperson I wouldn't eat it, but to each his own. I don't begrudge people their survival.

Poor horse

Make sure its got strong legs.

Damn, I've never seen it on a menu here in the states. After growing up with a horse I know I would never eat it either. I do remeber my Mom saying when the horse was getting older she wanted to make sure it didn't get slaughtered and processed like that.

Are you looking to buy a horse for yourself to ride or as an investment?

It's not bad, they make sort of a salami sausage out of it, which tastes pretty good.

:1orglaugh

Stop making fun of me, I am so vulnerable right now. :(

At least someone else got the reason for this thread. :)
