So I must live in the barbed wire capitol because every place I go to check out has barbed wire fences pastures. My girl is still really young and growing so for that reason I don't want her to live in a stall but rather out in the pasture somewhere with a nice shelter.
Every place I go to has barbed wire fencing. Like all of them. There is one place I saw that has a beautiful HUGE 30 acre green pasture with a nice facility, and a huge shelter, with no prairie dog holes. BUT the fencing is barbed wire. I've always been taught that barbed wire is a HUGE no no and I've heard stories about horses slicing their tendons open so I feel dumb for even considering this option.
Am I being naive to think that because the pasture is so huge and the fence is well maintained that this could work?
today was my first day in equine assisted therapy (eagala protocol), and i don't know much about miniature horses and was hoping to get some insight. i know nothing about horses.
basically, i was sent into a huge dirt arena with two miniature horses and told to do whatever i wanted. i brushed them and got acquainted, and then i walked away. they didn't follow. i crouched down and they walked towards me. i basically repeated that pattern for the entire session.
they did things like: 1. one repeatedly lifted his leg and gently put it on my thigh 2. when i was crouched down, they'd usually walk up really close and nudge me 3. one put his head on top of my head and nudged me with him nose
what's that mean?
Purchasing a home in NC. It has a fairly new house barn with 4 stalls and tack room on the property with 7 acres, and appropriately fenced in, and a separate driveway out to the barn and fenced area.
I do not own a horse, but I would be interested in leasing out the barn and land for someone else to utilize. I would not manage it - I would allow them to manage it themselves, or consider hiring somebody if multiple individuals are renting a stall.
Any idea on how much could be charged per horse?

I'm pretty new to this having only started taking lessons in May at age 41. Ive been taking lessons at least three times a month and think I'm progressing fairly well and am reasonably competent at rising trot and canter and have done a couple of tricksy things like leg yield and turn on a forehand. Despite this, my legs hurt like hell for two days every time I have a one hour lesson. Could it be my technique or is this a recognised thing I just have to put up with? I work a pretty physical job involving a lot of heavy lifting, but have never experienced pain in these muscles.
