All I can say is that living on a farm, which i do, is alot of work!! I enjoy my horses and wouldnt change a thing but, it takes away alot of things from you. My family and i cannot just decide to go on vacation without months of planning and even then it is tough. You have to find someone to take care of your animals for you(a responsible person who nows what they are doing)!! not ot mention the long days!! early in the morning and late at night. Especially if you have a full time job on top of it! Lots of mending fences barns and such....I am by no means trying to discourage you, i just want you to know what it all intails! If you can find a farm to work on, by all means go for it!!! it will be a great experiance!!!
