I was thinking the same thing. The only way I see that it could turn would be if the horses “side step” which would put alot of strain on the animals and look kinda weird.

Thanks guys! I hear you on the shelter thing. We build the sheep a large leanto on the back of the tractor shed. WE spent months on that shed making it all tight and sealed. After all of that effort the sheep don’t go in it. So I feel like a royal idiot for asking my Dad to build that shed!!

AS far as a mentor my neighbor has both mules and horses. He has far more knowledge about mules than horses but I think we will manage.
Anyhow thanks and I will keep ya posted.

Okay,
Thanks I was wondering if because of my height/age I couldn’t get a harness on but I seem okay!

Awesome! My grandpa had a design for rocking horses that was well known and had been shipped all around the US. He even sent some to other countries.

okay Just some quick calculations about time……

In percents because they are easy to look at.

35% of the entire day I am in school.
85% of the total daylight hours,during the winter I am at school.
40% of all weekends could be devoted at minimum to draft animals.
Maybe I am looking at the glass half empty but, these numbers seem to better represent my schedual.

More numbers
89% of my life is either at home or school. The parts that aren’t are at my grandparents across the road.

97% of my nights are spent at home. Either that or at my grandparents.

So here is my conclusion from those numbers. I am at home all the time. It is very unsual for me to be more than thirty miles from the house.Unlike many other children my age I spend more time at the house doing something constructive than sitting infront of a TV or whatever it is that they do.

So I guess I’ll get back to working on these numbers.Thanks

Yes. I thought about that. Now comes research,work,and money. Money, being the most trouble………
I looked at my current stash of animals already. 4 sufolk sheep(3 ewes due to lamb in April and my pet wether),2 Angus heifers(4-H projects to be sold in May), guineas,peafowl,chickens,and my extremely tubby feline friend. Plus all of the other beasts that my parents own.

As of the moment I am crunching the numbers to see what I can afford time wise and finacially. I will keep you all posted.

Oh and Jason,
We are hangin’ on but just by a little bit. I drove the calves up into the “General Purpose Building”along with the sheep,Friday so they didn’t get stranded.

Isn’t it amazing what happens when you sit down and talk to people?
My Dad reminded me that if I bought it and cared for it then he would buy the feed. He also reminded me that this offer applied to anything except camelids(Which he down right hates and I mean completely despises)
So I guess he isn’t anti-horse,he is just,well,keeping his best interests in sight.

I didn’t think of mulch that is a good idea! Thanks.
