Hi guys. I grew up with goats, and now I own a few of my own. I feel very confident with goats, but now that I'm getting this new fence up and I'll have about 8 acres fenced in, my wife wants a pony or a horse or a miniature horse for our kids to tend to and ride for fun.
My daughters are young, but they've been to horse camp last summer and this summer and they love riding, brushing, and bathing horses at camp.
I know that buying a small horse is going to get expensive... But my wife wants to go get a rescue miniature horse or pony or donkey. She wants to go look and possibly adopt one this weekend.
Is a rescue horse going to be a big mistake? I'm getting nervous about getting an old horse and then having big vet bills down the road.
