L2S

I had a couple of pigs last year named "Backbacon" and "Porkchop". They tasted great.

As for mules, most everyone has said that they are great but they think and act differently than a horse. My experience with horses is minimal so I know at this time a mule would be way beyond my skill level. And if I did find a mule for sale, why is it for sale? From what I understand, a great mule is hard to come by.

Cost wise, the horse is the cheap part! Accumulating all the tack, trailer, truck to pull it with, feed, and farrier costs add up quickly. But what hobby is inexpensive? (By the way, boat stands for Bring Out Another Thousand). With quad restrictions and hunting pressure on the roads, I believe a horse is the next logical step (yes I know I can rent or borrow them, but to me it is like borrowing a gun or quad. I'll just get my own, thanks). If I want a stone sheep, for the most part I need to travel by horse.

I have hunting partners who have guided and have their own horses. They have introduced me to packing, and each have their own opinion about breeds, etc. I have a friend whose family has been in the horse business for generations and they are going to look out for a horse for me. I told them I was not going to settle for a good horse, but to inform me when they found a great one. I can get a standardbred pretty cheap if they can't make the time. They are already harness broke and would not take much to saddle break. They have good feet and bone as well. Temperment is a huge deciding factor for me as well.

I have picked up a Percheron that is almost 4 years old but plan to keep her as a brood mare. She may be bred to a Fiord that got into her pasture but will find out soon. If she is not in foal then I will look for an Appaloosa or a small TB.

Thanks to all for the input and looking forward to more.
