My wife keeps 7 horses. This isn't ag land up here, so they eat hay 365. I make the hay (to try to save money), but I have to drive 750km (500 miles) round-trip for our bales. Our farm truck will need electrical and driveline repairs next week between $1000-1500. She sent the horse trailer to the shop for unnecessary repairs last week. The economy is awful, so nobody has money for horse riding lessons. I've become a part-time farrier (to try to save and make money). We've brought home pigs and lambs during the summer to raise for the table. The horses just keep eating into our money while the farm account can never keep up. I feel I work very hard for this unrewarding way of life, and slave for thankless animals that you can't eat in the end. How do you explain to the most important person in your life that her wants are slowly breaking you? We've been trying for 10 years now to make horses/hobby farming at least break even, but not one year yet... Sorry for this being so long, but I'm at my wits end.
