Horesekeeping On Small Acreage Lots

[Joseph]

Glad to hear your found a possible solution. Enjoy the riding. When is Redszone weekend?

How the heck did I miss this thread the first time around?

A few suggestions from your friendly neighborhood equine veterinarian. First, no barbed wire or high tensile wire. Second, work with your local veterinarian to establish a solid health care program for your horses. It ain't cheap, but it can help to prevent HUGE bills in the future.

Good luck with your new place! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Sounds like you have planned a bit, nice work.

I've been burned from my own poor planning before and it cost me dearly. I'm bound and determined to not let it get to me. This lady is in a tough bind right now. She has 11 acres, her husband recently passed away and her son has cancer now and can't take care of the property for her. I believe she wants to hold onto the property and is ignoring offers to sell. What I worry about is something happening to her and me getting caught up in the middle of a probate court estate battle.

Can you afford a land contract with a purchase option? I know a guy that does business and estate planning near Grove City. I can give you his name if you like. PM if you are interested.

I'll hold off on going that far for now. We're looking to move out toward the Mt. Sterling area within the next 3 years or less, and this place across the road actually has suitable structures in place. Somebody before them had owned horses and with a little TLC can be made suitable again. I don't want to get locked into something as binding as a land contarct.
