Okay, we got our hay. We managed to get 30 bales at $10 a bale. They are 2 twine bales. The grass is fine and the little horse is loving it. Yes, prices really are high out west although it is even higher in much of California than it is here. Not much consolation, I realize but we simply pay more for almost everything because we live in Northern Nevada.
I was on a website for miniature horses and our prices out here are high but in some parts of the country they are paying as much as we are.
So, I made the mistake of telling one of the mini horse people I was having my neighbor X come over to take a look at my harness and talk about carriage driving with me. I talked to the guy and he seems really nice. The one lady told her friend and they are both facebooking me to tell me to be extremely careful of X. I finally ended up writing a nice note to them both stating that the words they used of "working with" X was kind of misleading. I am not paying him to come over. I am not hiring him to train my horse. He is simply a neighbor who wants to come over and give me his opinion on how the harness and bridle look on the horse and to talk about carriage driving. I said I they know a lot about minis and I totally respect their opinions and that I appreciated their concern.
Geez, no wonder I call them the old biddies. And I really actually hate facebook. Of course, I have gotten lots of advice but I am doing what I think is right for the little guy. We are doing great and that is that. I think they thought I was trying to replace the trainer I have [which I am since the trainer I have hasn't managed to come out in 10 weeks of owning the horse] and/or that I would let someone treat my horse roughly. Which will never happen. Sheesh.
