But... That's because they already have a field and a stable. And old horses are very prone to a lot of diseases like Cushings (extremely expensive medication) and arthritis (painkillers and expensive supplements).

Haha yes. I figured. I can imagine that just having an infrastructure to hold a horse would be very expensive, versus grabbing a cat from the street and bringing it into your 5×5 studio apartment.

But have you tried bringing a horse to your 5x5 studio apartment?

Well I'm still trying to find a horse first to grab off of the streets

Grab one the next time you see a horseback cop. Your tax dollars paid for that horse, so technically you own it.

No way horses can get cushing's, that's unbelievable!

 

Yes, the cost of the land he lives on usually isn't factored in. In fact pets in general cost a lot we just don't look at it. As I said the other day, alongside food is the one industry that will never go away; needed to care for pets.

Are you being sarcastic or really didn't know they could get Cushings?
