Attention Deprived? - Homesteading

Alas, these are not my horses - and they are now moved south with their people...
Rather, we were looking at a house in one of our nearby communities. (The house was a near miss for us.) These horses came right up to us, wanting attention - not at all worried about the intruders in their paddock. Being a sucker for horses, I was delighted to give them some!

The one in the middle is a Norwegian Fjord horse. To the left is some sort of Clydesdale cross and the one to the right might be a Belgian cross. The one below is a Gypsy Vanner.

This paint was very friendly as well.

After this, my girls were begging for horses once we get our land - so we did some research to find out just how much they would cost to keep... the answer (from a good friend that raised hers much like how I would raise them) was about $500/month EACH! (In other areas with more moisture/grass, it might be less.) And that's without any special treatment! So, now the girls know how much they'd have to want them. We can love other people's horses instead!
