yes! for example, crab apples are poisonous, and dont give horses carrot slices, but whole carrots are ok. i need to have more experience for whether or not the hay is good quality. do you think a good rule of thumb is, "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is"?

HLS
donkeys: would you suggest jennys or jacks? i know jacks can get very aggressive, and mate like nobodys business. not sure if i want that to happen to my horses.

Goats: very true. what do you think a good number of goats would be? (to start)

Minies can't reach even if the horse is laying down. My friend has a male mini donkey and the horses just chase him away. If you don't want a mean Jack you could always find someone with a jack to mate your jennies. Just an idea.

..

Goats I would start with about 2-4. One billy and 3 females. The usally have two kids each so then that would make 10 goats.

aww minnies XD

.

yes, i mean, ive read about jacks who are "super nice" and then kick someone in the face. and then i accidentally fell across a video of a jack mating with a horse, and then te same one mating with a pig. it was...WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME YOUTUBE. anyways, i read some more about jacks, and they said that they mate a lot. so i wasnt sure if i wanted that responsibility, especially if i get a male horse whos protective of the mares.

goats: sounds good! what are your favorite breeds of goat?

Russian White goat or the peacock goat.

The peacock goat is a smaller goat I think.

cool lol. the breeds i know are nubian, alpine, lamancha, and saanen

They are really nice lol. I love playing with their horns. When I was little, I pretended I was on a race car. XD poor bill got roped too.

XD i remember looking forwards to going to a friends house so i could sit on their dog and pretend it was a horse lmao. (i was 3)

My neighbour had a mini Donkey, and he was hilarious! As long as your ok with him hollering all the time, they are also good companions for pasture horses, but they can pester them a lot.

Yes I forgot that the make a lot of noise and can be bruts too XD.

haha noise. good to know!
