Last but not least live long enough to see a peaceful world I see some of yours would be mine also. The owning of horses, if for racing is a tough game and those that are going to usually come out ahead are those that are well established in the business. Its tough for newbies to come in and make money. I have a friend who did own some with his late father and they did win back in the 70s. Much has changed in the business. Probably looking at a minimum of ten to fifteen grand just to get started with a claimer. Its too risky. If something happens and the horse gets injured you are in the hole for good. But I too would have loved to own one or two. Have a few local connections that run at Fingef Lakes. But if they are successful they go to Saratoga or Belmont. And its tough to win there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lipslikecherries Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Like Huck Finn and Jim? Yes exactly! On a raft and wearing cut-offs like Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yes exactly! On a raft and wearing cut-offs like Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island. I used to dream about rafting the length of the Mississippi as well. One important factor which dissuaded me from the idea was learning just how much commercial shipping takes place on the Mississippi these days.

The Mississippi is a great artery of the US, always has been. People rarely keep nature nice and serene. Very sad still I think it would be an experience! I also want to ride trains cross country! I like trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we stopped on the side of the river, I'd forage for berries and you a big stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
