Hush Hurley, I fear I'll have a solid black horse with white stockings above the knee and a egg sized spot on the underbelly and it will qualify as a spotted horse. Well I want crazy beautiful markings but on a mostly black backgound, you know me , gotta have those lit up animals, but I'll take what I get as long as everything goes textbook.

I feel that my horses have such a good time playing with each other racing through the trees and rearing and wrestling that they don't need me as much as other horses. but don't get me wrong I just spent half the day caring for them. We had a blast of snow yesterday, I think we got almost 2 feet and it is a lot of work getting everything cleaned out. I had them all in the barn getting brushed off and removing iceicles from their manes and jaws and legs. Now we are supposed to get more snow tonight, so I left some of them in. They do have a barn that they go in and out when they want, but it seems like they prefer to be out. I scatter hay through out the woods so they are out of the wind and they have to move around a lot to keep warm. They have so much fur right now the Icelandics especially stay very warm.

Oh, yes, I collect horses. My husband would be rolling laughing if he read this thread! It was very easy to do when I had a lesson business, because I could always justify another horse for the business to use. I also had lots of people to ride them and horse-crazy newbies to groom and care for them. Now I just board what's left of my old herd- the ones I sold to students who didn't have anywhere else to keep them- and work with my 3 that I claim for myself right now. Two are broke and one is a yearling, so it's not too bad, although I have a problem focusing on one over the other sometimes. I think it would be easier to have just one, and put all your effort into making him or her the best partner you can. I tried that, but somehow I ended up not having that happen, because I am working with 3, not 1. I can't help it when I see a good deal come along, and I'm always game to ride something new. I just have to police myself and keep the numbers low. As my friend put it, I only have 1 butt, and even though it's big, that's hard to spread over 3 saddles at the same timel1!

OMG, My sister and I surf the horse buying websites too, We can't stay away from them. She's the collector and I go with her when she collectsl1 We've traveled all over Ohio together looking for and buying horses. She truly is a little horse trader. Me on the other hand, I suppose I would be a collector too if I had my own land, but for now helping my sister collect is good enough for me, plus I get to ride her collections too.  I've learned not to get to attached to her collections, because odds are they will be sold. My boy Oso lives at her farm and he's seen them come and go.

*sits down, grabs some donuts and coffee and shares* Hello my name is Jody and I am a horse collector. I have one horse. For a short time I had two horses but sent one to live out his pain filled days on 40 happy acres at a rescue where hopefully he can forget about his pain and just live as a happy horse. I cant afford more than one horse. I have a mortgage and a car payment and two grandbabies and a list of house repairs that impede my collecting every horse I see but at heart I am still a horse collector. On my "bucket list" of horses to own. A true foundation Morgan A Friesien A Gypsy Vanner A Hanovarian A fully trained dressage horse A "been there done that" zero spook trail horse The only horse I never want to own is a sorrel or a brown or basically any horse that can be considered "boring" in color. I love horses with interesting colors and patterns. If I had more than one horse I wouldnt have to harass my one horse with rides every day. I could rotate them so they have days off as on the days I force myself not to ride I have withdrawals. I know its an addiction but it cant be stopped! I'll be back later, I have to go peruse Dreamhorse and get my fix.
