Here's the best response to someone who wants to own horses:

The best way to see if horses are the right choice for you is to start by planning your entire life around being home to feed them. If that feels ok, go outside in the rain when you're very sick and fling mud around with a manure fork for about 10 minutes. It you're still ok with it, take 90% of your money and just give it away. If these things don't bring you to your knees, then horses are right for you. 🤣😭
Also, be sure you're ok with the sight of blood because these buggers lie awake at night thinking of ways to hurt themselves. 🫣

Is anyone looking for Nigerian dwarf Does? The time has come to reduce the number of animals on our farm. These girls are our pets and super friendly and fun. Although if you’d like to breed them and milk them, go for it!!! Up to date on CDT. I’ll put their the age under each photo. I’m sure my daughter will hate me for the rest of my life for selling these ladies but she doesn’t pay the bills and she’s ready to hit the horse show ring so these girls are available. The more you buy the better the deal. If you’re only buying one, you must have other goats at home. They are 2️⃣👌🏻👌🏻 each, 3✋🏼🅾️
for a pair or ✋🏼0️⃣🅾️ for three of them. Please send me a pm if you’re interested or have questions.

Why are horses a release for people?

Horses are a release for people because they strip life back to its simplest, most honest form.
In a world full of noise, emails, deadlines, expectations, horses remind us that real communication isn’t about words. It’s about presence. It’s about energy, intention, awareness.

When you’re with a horse, your words mean nothing, but your actions, your body language, your energy? That’s everything. You can’t fake confidence with a horse. You can’t lie with your posture. You can’t manipulate with charm or excuses. Horses reflect back exactly who you are in that moment, your fear, your calm, your frustration, your peace.

That’s why working with horses is 90% self-reflection. They force you to get quiet. To slow down. To pay attention not only to them, but to yourself. Your breathing, your posture, your thoughts. They draw you out of your head and into your body, into the present.

It takes us back to a time when survival, connection, and trust weren’t built on promises or conversations. They were built on consistency, energy, and respect. Horses remind us how to just be, without the layers of complication life piles on.

That’s why so many people find healing with them. They don’t care about your job, your past, your social status. They care about your energy in this moment, and nothing feels more freeing than being seen for your truest self, without judgment, without words.
