Jordanscollected’s Hobby Farm

@jordanscollected said in Jordanscollected bought a hobby farm:

it's because every time I turn around someone's hand is out asking me for $500... or $15k

My maternal grandfather taught me that the cost of living is 10% more than you earn......

@Giles Pair your grandfathers thought process with the fact that my wife thinks the Government is waiting in every shadow or around every corner to take away our savings and you can start to see a pattern in my life. Posting is free for now, right Giles?

Absolutely. I am sure we could monetize this place, but I'd rather have a couple of nuts amputated with a rusty pair of scissors first....

You home?

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot

We’re in!!! I’ll upload some
More pics but we moved in today. My nephews ripped around in the side by side and we spent about 8 hours unpacking. We’re maybe 5% done.

Going to get the horses tomorrow (Sunday) and bring them to their new home.

@jordanscollected best wishes for happy times at your new farm!

@jordanscollected So it‘s happening! Wishing you the best of luck!

We brought this horses home today. They were running around with nervous energy as they explored their new pastures. It will be a major adjustment for them leaving their herd, but we hope they adjust quickly.

Pure gold, Jeff. Y’all must be over the moon.

[jordanscollected]

Thank you so much @sabergirl. We are levitating in excitement, and buried in boxes.

[sabergirl]

Haha well, hang in there, @jordanscollected. Enjoy getting settled in ️

@jordanscollected bro!! This literally gave me goosebumps. So so very cool!! I can’t even imagine how it must feel to look out your window to see your horses running around on your own farm!!

Really stoked for you guys!!

The view as I left for work this morning. This is going to be a really fun transition into the new property.

@jordanscollected beautiful Jeff. So excited for you guys and love being able to share in this. How are the horses adjusting?

[jordanscollected]

They are doing pretty good Sean @SKT. Their former home was a herd of 8 so this is an adjustment and will take time for sure. They are venturing out around the pastures grazing (most the back or East pasture and the South pasture), but they have avoided the North pasture for the most part.

Our property is is directly connected to the neighbors to the north, in fact we share a fence on the north side. Their horses spend a lot of time trying to get Nola and Beau to come and say hi, but ours are less inclined.

We also have two lean-to's for them to go in and they really like that to get out of the sun and feel safe and protected.

[SKT]

I’m betting they will get more curious and comfortable as time goes on. Kind of fun they have neighbor friends

[jordanscollected]

Hit the trails for the first time since we moved in. We are 4 minutes and 59 seconds drive from the closest trailhead.

Allie works with Nola in the round pen before we go. I just let Beau decide his mood.

The view to my left, and then to my right. We are pinching ourselves every day over here.
