[mrsEd]

You're all so lucky Living in a flat in an urban area just let's me dream (and read) about places like that. Well, maybe... one day...

Or you just make the right choices...

my friend found my farm we were in new jersy and couldnt come to virginia cause its a 8 hour ride and i sold my hunter jumper farm and was desperate to move,my friend new this lady who was also desperate to move.so i made the trip and at the time it was the only game in town so we had to get.we have fixed it all up and its really nice here.but im thinking of selling now..its time to let a younger person in.lol...

[mrsEd]

Wouldn't you terribly miss it, Whinny? :S It is a 'way of life' after a while, no?

[whinny]

yes i soppose i would miss it iv been doing this since i was 8 im now over 60,but i do it alone,kids are grown no one to throw horse poop at no one to share with.just me and my horses who are slowly leaving me after all these yrs.husband dont even really like horses.doesent ride.just fixes fences .so i am tired for sure..but yes i would miss it.proberly be the end for me. but gotta do what i gotta do.....

I live close to town, across the road from a race course, lease 5 acres up the road for my horses, I have views from my house of the local pony club where the children keep their ponies and have bush, river and farm land that have horse trails near by. So I think I live in a horsey place!!!!

[mrsEd]

Ha, Whinny they talk about how it feels like if a child leaves the house (empty house syndrom), but then comes phase 2: the parents leaving the way of life they've became accustomed to as well..

on the other hand: you wouldn't have to give up on it completely, with some luck you'll be able to find conditions wherein you can just enjoy the horses without doing the hard work

[whinny]

YEA YOUR RITE IV BEEN LOOKING AT SMALLER PLACES BUT IF I STOP THE MUCKING AND LIFTING IM AFRAID RIGAMORTIOUS WILL SET IN LOL ON THE OTHER HAND IF I COULD JUST GET SOME ONE TO DO THE FARM ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK IT WOULD BE NICE.OR IF I COULD GET AWAY FOR A WHILE..THIS 24 7 ALL THE TIME NO BREAK REALLY GETS TO YA AFTER AWHILE.AND WHEN YOU LOOSE YOUR OLD FRIENDS IT DOESENT GET ANY EASER EITHER...I CANT EVER REMEMBER NOT DOING THE WORK MYSELF..WHAT IS IT LIKE KEEPING YOUR HORSES SOME WERE ELSE LOL aNN

[mrsEd]

Whinny, you gotta get yourself an au-pair :P Instead of looking after children - shel'll be helping out by looking after the farm and horses, so you can get yourself a nice long weekend once in a while. {Communicate-0002011B}
