Kind of a rant and a rave lol. So my dad apparently decided that he doesn't want to take care of my 4 horses that live at home anymore. He wants to sell the acreage, travel, etc etc. Which is fine lol, but I definitely can't afford to take care of 5 horses on my future resident's salary. It also put me in kind of a rough situation because my 4 horses at home aren't sellable for various health reasons, so really their only options if they can't live with my dad are 1) euth or 2) be a pasture puff in either my field (that I don't have) or some very generous person's field. But they're 17hh+ hay burners so I'm pretty sure no one wants to feed them except me

Anyway. Lots of emotional turmoil and frustration on my part about this, but I digress.
There was some back and forth on this, and after a while my dad came up with a solution: he's going to outright buy my partner and I an acreage in the town my residency is in, so then we only need to pay property tax/utilities, and thus could probably afford to keep the horses. Apparently not having the horses is worth the cost of an ENTIRE ACREAGE to him

So we're going to look at properties this weekend! I get to have my ponies in my backyard again
