My Horse Is Coming Home !!

[rivermom]

Well...Change of plans. Before Robert began marking off the yard this past weekend for our horse, he thought he'd talk to the land owner one more time about buying a hunk.

Well...The land owner says "You don't want that land, it's too hilly for your horse and a barn. But ya see that area in front of your house? I'll build a stall and tie it off w/ barbed wire. That'll give ya enough room for ya horse. I'll just charge ya a monthly rent to try to get back the costs of building the stall".

Huh?????? Dazed and asking hubby a million questions as he only talked to hubby about this (I hid in the garage) I wasn't sure if maybe he'd sale us this chunk he was planning on building a stall or not? Come to find out, nope he STILL doesn't wanna sell any of it. But he will build the stall, we will string the barbed wire, and it will be done by Feb. 1st when Bay's gotta get off the pasture he's on now.

So...at this point I don't know what the rent will be. I don't know what his intentions are for doing any of this and it sorta makes my head spin. And I don't know a thing about stringing barbed wire but I think I'm gonna be learning real quick here. I have to say, this section of land is real nice, it's flat. And another good thing is our yard wont be torn up by Bay. Plus, his new pasture will be just steps from our front door so that's such a bonus too!

Anyway...he's normally such a grump of an old man. So I really wanna know if he's doing this for goodness outta his heart?, or he's gotta plan up his sleeve? I just don't know, LOL....Guess I'll be finding out wont I??
